(28) Why Your Burnout Keeps Coming Back (ADHD, Human Design, + Perimenopause Explained)

Burnout is real yet for a lot of high performers—it’s not the full story.In this episode, we unpack why burnout can become a cycle, not a one-time event… and how undiagnosed ADHD and perimenopause may be quietly driving that loop.Because here’s what’s happening beneath the surface:You push.You perform.You override your system.You crash.You recover just enough… and then repeat.And if you don’t understand what’s actually fuelling that pattern, you keep trying to fix it at the surface level.Inside this episode: • Why burnout can become cyclical instead of situational • The overlap between ADHD traits and burnout symptoms (and why it’s often missed) • How perimenopause impacts focus, emotional regulation, and nervous system capacityThis isn’t about over-identifying with labels.It’s about seeing the pattern clearly enough to break it.Because burnout doesn’t resolve when you’re only treating the output…and ignoring the system creating it.⸻If you’ve been stuck in cycles of burnout that don’t fully resolve—this episode will help you understand why.Learn more about me here: https://www.ashleybrianaeve.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbmotU05qaTVvcHNVMlFaSl9QWWJrYTlHMUFMQXxBQ3Jtc0tteGN3MGRtQjNROEhXeldMa1JlOVZwLXBoQVloS09kMmVONXRBSW5IWEZSaXhJYTc1cDF2ZWdhdk82MHg2bVprV1Nfa1loSFFPSkpfY0JVZU15UHMxSUtMNy1sNXkxbE9lQUxfdGEtY256VGFSVmNfTQ&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ashleybrianaeve.com%2F&v=QBHCXwpTG9Q]

(24) The Performance Lie: Why Success Never Feels Like Enough & What James Van Der Beek Teaches Us

When James Van Der Beek spoke about his experience with cancer, he didn’t talk about achievement.He didn’t talk about legacy.He talked about self love & how we are all inherently worthy of it.About how so much of our identity is built on earning it. Performing for it. Achieving for it. Becoming “something” in order to deserve it.And how illness stripped that away.In this episode, I break down:• James final videos & interviews• How conditioning teaches us our worth is transactional• The Sun in Gate 49 at the time of his passing — and the message of revolution from the I ChingGate 49 is about higher principles. About revolt. About rejecting what is no longer aligned.What if the real revolution… is realizing you were always worthy?What if the real revolution… is realizing that your purpose was always simply to be you?If you’ve ever felt like you had to become more in order to be loved — this conversation is for you.Find out your bodygraph on my website here: https://www.ashleybrianaeve.com/ [https://www.ashleybrianaeve.com/]Learn more about Gene Keys here: https://genekeys.com/ref/1717/ [https://genekeys.com/ref/1717/]And if you enjoy more long form written work I invite you to join me on Substack here: https://substack.com/@ashleybrianaeve [https://substack.com/@ashleybrianaeve]#jamesvanderbeek #genekeys #humandesign #findyourpurpose #adhdselfimprovement
