Do you feel exhausted, overwhelmed, or guilty every time you try to say “NO”?

Burnout does not happen overnight, it is built through years of people pleasing, overgiving and ignoring our own needs.

In this powerful episode of the Parenting Collective Podcast, host Donna Moala sits down with mindset coach @annmanifis to unpack the real reason so many women struggle to set boundaries and why learning to say “NO” is essential for emotional wellbeing, leadership and sustainable success.

With over 25 years in the corporate world, Ann shares practical insights on burnout recovery, self worth and how women can stop running on empty without feeling selfish or guilty. This conversation is for working mums, leaders and women who are ready to protect their energy and reclaim their peace.

✨ In this episode, we explore:

Why burnout is so common among women

The emotional roots of people pleasing

How to say “NO” without guilt or fear

Boundaries at work, home and in relationships

Why rest is productive, not lazy

Work-life balance vs. work-life integration
