Regan here! The founder of Revie.
Before we get into it today, let me ask you something…
When's the last time someone took care of you?
Four years ago, I walked out of my big tech job with no backup plan. It sounds bold. It wasn’t. I was so burnt out I couldn't breathe. From the outside, I looked completely fine. Hitting targets, showing up, answering every email. Inside, I felt like a shell.
Burnout in high-achieving women rarely looks like a meltdown. It looks like functioning perfectly while feeling completely hollow. And it’s more common than you think.
It took me a long time to realize that what I needed wasn't another productivity hack. It was someone in my corner who actually understood me. That's why I built Revie, and why I show up in your inbox every other week.
This week we’re talking about the 8 signs of burnout, plus an introduction to Barbara - one of our coaches who helps ambitious women actually recover and feel like themselves again.
If you took the long weekend, went to bed early, cut back on coffee, and still woke up exhausted…it’s time to pay attention.
Deep breaths. You're in the right place. 🌙

Burnout doesn't always look like drowning. Here are 8 signs you're burnt out and what to actually do about it.
There's a version of burnout that looks nothing like burning out.
It doesn't look like lying in bed unable to move. It doesn't look like crying in the bathroom at work. From the outside, it looks like you're completely fine. You're hitting your targets. Showing up. Answering emails and making plans and doing all the things you're supposed to do.
You're just doing all of it while feeling absolutely nothing.
We call that high-functioning burnout. The kind that sneaks up on ambitious women who have built their whole identity around being capable, reliable, and hard to rattle.
If you've been wondering whether what you're feeling is burnout or just a rough patch, here are eight signs to look out for.
The world needs you to show up as your best self now more than ever. Take steps today towards creating a life you love. Work with Barbara find space in your daily routines for your dreams, while equipping yourself with the tools you need to stay grounded and focused. You’ll leave this session with an action plan that is easy for you to implement so you can spend less time spiraling and more time living your best life.
Before you go! Tell me: which of the burnout signs had alarm bells ringing?
I read every reply, and love to hear from you!
Until next time,
