But since writing so much the last few years, I'm drawn even more to the process of getting down in black and white your ideas, your concepts, your dreams, your fears, your anger -- whatever it is that is important to you. It's scary at times. But it's very validating. (less)

468 SelfWork: Stop Going Down The High-Functioning Rabbit Hole with Dr. Whitney Caseres

Are you going down the high-functioning nervous breakdown rabbit hole?

When I read these words, written by our guest on SelfWork today, I knew I wanted her on the show. She��s a pediatrician, a mom, an executive �� and she gets it.

Most women feel like failures��always feeling like they��re not doing enough, but so exhausted from their over-functioning that they have no more to give. Their go-to
