About this episode

Why is burnout not just tolerated—but praised? On today's Power & Impact, I sit down with Dr. Judith Joseph, psychiatrist, researcher, and author of High Functioning, to unpack the hidden costs of high achievement. From the psychological fallout of workplace trauma to the emotional toll of always saying "yes," Dr. Joseph reveals how our drive to perform can mask unhealed wounds. Drawing on years of clinical research and her own immigrant journey, Judith shares powerful frameworks for resetting our mental health, challenging imposter syndrome, and building emotional resilience—especially for high performers, working moms, and anyone trying to do it all. We also dive into the neuroscience behind screen time, how technology impacts joy and connection, and why psychedelics could revolutionize mental health care. If you've ever felt burned out, overlooked, or unsure how to slow down without losing your edge, this conversation will reframe what it means to function and feel at your best.
