What happens when the version of success you worked so hard to achieve…no longer fits?

In this episode of The Life Management System, Courtney sits down with Molly Asplin – a former high-achieving corporate leader turned executive and life coach – to talk about burnout, identity, and what it looks like when your ambition outpaces your joy.

Molly specializes in helping driven, capable women slow down without losing momentum, and this conversation is a powerful reminder that growth doesn’t always come from pushing harder. Sometimes, it comes from redefining what success actually means.

If you’ve ever felt restless, exhausted, or quietly disconnected, even while “doing everything right”, this episode will meet you exactly where you are.

💡 Inside this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why so many high-performing women feel burned out even when they’re successful
• How ambition and identity become entangled (and why that’s so hard to untangle)
• What it looks like to slow down without sacrificing growth or impact
• The signs that you’ve outgrown your old definition of success
• Why burnout isn’t a personal failure - it’s often a misalignment

💬 Quoteworthy thoughts:

“Burnout isn’t always about doing too much, it’s about doing things that no longer align.”

“Just because you’re capable of more doesn’t mean you’re meant to carry it all.”

“Success that costs you your joy isn’t sustainable.”

💥 Episode takeaway:

You don’t need to abandon your ambition to feel better.

You may just need to redefine success in a way that honors your energy, values, and season of life.

Slowing down isn’t quitting.

It’s choosing what actually matters.
