Ep 23: The Silent Struggle: Why High-Achieving Women Don’t Talk About Their Overwhelm

The Bold Life School - Growth strategies to get unstuck, find purpose, and transform your life

So many high-achieving women — especially corporate moms in their 40s and 50s — are carrying impossible loads while quietly falling apart behind the scenes. In this eye-opening episode of The Bold Life School Podcast, Jamie pulls back the curtain on the truth most women never say out loud: we’re exhausted, we’re overwhelmed, we’re holding everything together… and we’re doing it in silence.

Jamesyn breaks down 12 powerful reasons women stay quiet about their stress — from the fear of judgment, to reputation pressure at work, to not wanting to burden others, to believing “everyone else is handling it better.” You’ll hear examples that sound uncomfortably familiar and finally understand that your silence doesn’t mean weakness — it means you’ve been the strong one for far too long.

You’ll also take a revealing 6-question self-assessment quiz that helps you identify whether you're managing, silently drowning, or somewhere in between. And as always, Jamesyn offers grounded, compassionate guidance for what to do next — without blowing up your life, quitting your job, or becoming someone you’re not.

This episode is your invitation to pause, exhale, and tell yourself the truth: you deserve more ease, more support, and more freedom than the life you’re currently tolerating.
