Tactics to Become An Investable Female Founder

Why High Performers Burn Out Even When They’re “Doing Everything Right” with Dr. Brian Paris

September 15, 2026•1 min read

You can look successful, lead well, hit your goals, and still be completely disconnected from yourself. Kareen sits down with Dr. Brian Paris to talk about what happens when high performance becomes survival mode, and why the fear of burning out again can quietly keep entrepreneurs and leaders playing smaller than they’re capable of. They unpack the physical and emotional signals we learn to ignore, the difference between saying “I am angry” and “I feel angry,” why creativity requires a sense of safety, and how slowing down can actually lead to clearer decisions and more sustainable output. This conversation is an invitation to stop treating burnout as the price of ambition and start building success from a place where your body, emotions, intuition, and intellect are finally working together.
