Toxic Productivity Expert: Burnout Signs You Can't Ignore

What if the exhaustion you're feeling isn't from working hard - it's from working to please and prove yourself into burnout?

Tamu Thomas had a panic attack on her way to work one Monday morning.

She thought she was going to die.

That moment became the catalyst for revolutionising her approach to healthy ambition and toxic productivity.

Now she's a Hay House published author, who teaches women how to spot the signs of overworking - and helps them build a business where opportunities come to YOU 🙌

Tamu is the author of ""Women Who Work Too Much,"" a sought-after speaker featured in Forbes and Stylist, and a former social worker who burned out trying to conform and prove herself into exhaustion.

In this conversation, Tamu reveals:

- The crucial difference between being Type A and toxic productivity 🤔

- Her breaking point - the Monday morning panic attack that made her realise she needed to change

- The early burnout signs most people dismiss

- Why she closed her membership and group program WITHOUT guilt

- The ""lighthouse"" business model - stop running around the shore chasing opportunities, plant yourself firmly and let ships come to you 🎯

- Why she built a 12-month coaching program when everyone else did 3-6 months 👀

- The shift from working with individuals to building corporate leadership training - focusing on middle management and nervous system-informed work

- What should you do when you spot burnout signs in yourself ❤️

Tamu reveals how toxic productivity masquerades as ambition - and why the most powerful opportunities come when you stop overworking and start showing up fully in your authority.

For entrepreneurs who work incredibly hard but feel exhausted rather than excited and fulfilled, this episode is a complete game-changer.
