Am I Doing Too Much Or Is This What Success Feels Like?

Am I doing too much or is this just what success feels like? In this episode, executive coach Monique R. Shields explores one of the most common inner dilemmas high-achieving women face: how to tell the difference between healthy ambition and quietly pushing past your real capacity. Drawing on a recent client conversation and a powerful analogy from strength training, Monique breaks down why so many successful women use burnout as their only metric for capacity, and how this leads to chronic overextension, scattered focus, and constant self-doubt about whether they are doing “enough.” This conversation is for you if: You feel capable of doing many things at once, but constantly tired You struggle to know where the line is between growth and self-betrayal You worry that slowing down might mean losing momentum or success You want to build sustainable focus, clarity, and long-term wealth without burning yourself out In this episode, you’ll learn: Why pushing to your limit feels productive (but often isn’t) The difference between training to failure and building real strength How to recognize your actual capacity before you crash into it How to redefine ambition without sacrificing your wellbeing This is not about productivity hacks or time management. It’s about executive self-regulation, sustainable momentum, and learning how to grow without self-abandonment. 00:00 Am I Doing Too Much Or Is This Just Success? 01:05 Why High-Achieving Women Struggle to Define Capacity 02:15 The Workout Analogy: Training to Failure vs Building Strength 04:10 Why Pushing to the Limit Feels Productive (But Isn’t) 08:25 High Tide vs Low Tide: How I Pace My Work Seasons 11:50 How I Decide What Gets Deprioritized (Without Guilt) 15:45 The Hidden Financial and Emotional Cost of Overextending 21:45 How to Recognize Your Real Capacity Before Burnout 23:15 Redefining Ambition Without Self-Abandonment ✨Connect with Monique:  Instagram: / moniquershields  Website: https://moniquershields.com/  Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...
