7 Lessons From A Recovering Overachiever with Karen Mangia

Career Strategies for Women that Work

We think we have to do more, have more, be more, and that will sum up to success. And as women, we feel like we have to try to make it look easy, and be pleasing and agreeable on top of that. It can get very overwhelming very quickly and lead to serious burnout. Well, in this week’s episode of Career Strategies for Women that Work, I’m chatting with my friend Karen Mangia, tech veteran, TEDx speaker, and author, about what it’s like being a perpetual overachiever and how to “recover” from it. Listen in for the 7 lessons from a recovering overachiever.
In this episode, you’re going to learn:

• Why we, as women, often feel the need to overachieve
• How to evaluate and redefine success
• How to put yourself first (without the catalyst of a medical emergency)
• A few practical tips for finding calm and stepping away from overachieving

Trust me, Karen’s story is truly incredible and it’ll leave you feeling totally inspired!

This is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Karen’s story! I too can fall into the trap of trying to overachieve, and it’s so encouraging to know that someone as amazing as she has not only been there with me but has overcome that feeling too!

Stepping away from overachieving and constantly pushing toward “success” can be scary, but I’m rooting for you! Connect with me on Instagram – @JJDigeronimo, and share some of the ways you’re redefining success in your life.
