The Quiet Burn: The Ambitious Woman's Guide to Recognizing and Preventing Burnout

You’re holding it all together on the surface, but inside, there’s a quiet fire smoldering. The relentless pursuit of career success, the weight of caregiving expectations, and the shadow of unequal pay burn your wick down, leaving you on the brink of exhaustion.

Women have been conditioned to handle it all, but that invisible Superwoman cape often feels like a noose. Society’s expectations are high, and prioritizing yourself is undervalued. How long can we burn at both ends before we disappear in the flames?

Lynn Blades, an experienced executive leadership coach, has spent decades advising women in Fortune 500 companies and independent businesses. Her message is clear: it’s time to rewrite the rules. Lynn offers practical tools to help women recognize and prevent burnout and empower them to reclaim their lives—strategies like saying no, practicing guilt-free self-care, and silencing self-doubt.

This book is a call to action. When women burn out, the world suffers. The Quiet Burn proves that prioritizing well-being isn’t just self-care; it’s revolutionary. It’s time to demand more, to extinguish burnout, and to build a life in which you thrive boldly and unapologetically on your terms.
