I left a VP role at the top of a burnout spiral, not the bottom of one.
From the outside, it looked like success — the title, the compensation, every milestone hit. From the inside, it felt like drowning. That gap between “looks fine” and “feels fine” is what I coach on now.
I coach people who are hitting every milestone and still exhausted, and help them redesign the job before it redesigns them — boundaries, negotiation, and the exit conversations most people avoid.
