Episode 21: When High-Functioning Means High Tolerance for Feeling Like Crap

You get it all done, the meetings, the workouts, the school pickups, the birthday texts.  Your calendar’s full, your smile is on, your glass is poured… And yet, there’s this nagging sense that something’s off.

In this episode, Lindsay is pulling back the curtain on the "high-functioning" façade, how we’ve been taught to manage our lives from depletion while calling it discipline, and why so many brilliant, successful women are quietly numbing instead of actually living.

We’ll talk about:

• Why being high-functioning often masks deep disconnection
• The invisible cost of coping with alcohol “because it’s not that bad”
• What you might not be seeing in your day-to-day, but definitely feeling
• Why it’s not about perfection—and what true self-respect actually looks like
• The tiny, powerful shifts that signal: you’re not in the cycle anymore—you’re leading yourself differently
