If you’re the one everyone depends on… the one who always shows up, solves the problem, and keeps everything moving… when was the last time you checked in with yourself?

In this deeply honest episode of the Monday Morning Mojo Podcast, Anna Gibbs unpacks the hidden cost of constantly being the capable one and why so many high-achieving women struggle to set boundaries without guilt.

This conversation is not about productivity hacks or learning how to say “no” more often. It’s about understanding why successful women in leadership often feel responsible for everyone else’s needs while slowly disconnecting from their own.

What you’ll learn by listening: • The difference between generosity and self-abandonment • How overextending yourself slowly disconnects you from your own needs, clarity, and energy • How to stop from feeling physically uncomfortable and emotionally loaded when you say “no” • The truth about the hidden emotional labor many women in leadership carry every day • How to set healthy boundaries for sustainable leadership

This episode is also a preview into the heart of Anna’s upcoming book, Getting Back to You, which explores what happens when successful women spend so much time leading everyone else that they slowly lose connection with themselves.

What if the problem isn’t burnout… but misalignment?

In this powerful and honest conversation, Anna sits down with transformational coach and consultant Shana Ackles to explore what really happens when high-achieving women outgrow the version of themselves that once worked.

From external success to internal disconnect, this episode goes beyond strategy and into the deeper work of identity, alignment, and self-trust.

Together, Anna and Shana unpack:

• Why doing more isn’t always the answer (and what to do instead)
• How to tell if misalignment is disguising itself as burnout
• How to align the internal feeling of success with your external environment
• The role that over achievement actually plays in misalignment

This is a conversation about truth, growth, and the courage to evolve, even when everything looks “successful” on the outside.

• Strategy will never outperform a life that doesn’t fit for you anymore.
• Misalignment is just an opportunity.

2. Where do I feel misaligned in my life?
