SE02E35 Burnout Isn't the Problem. Misalignment Is | Nataliya Preiss
Entrepreneur burnout isn't always caused by working too hard. Sometimes it happens when your success no longer aligns with who you've become.
In this episode of Unfiltered Solopreneur, host Nikhil Vaish sit down with Nataliya, who is a leadership coach, former startup executive, investor, speaker, and author who helps women stop performing success and start building businesses aligned with their values, energy, and purpose.
She shares how she walked away from a high-growth startup, rebuilt her life after emotional and physical burnout, and redefined success through self-leadership, feminine leadership, and purpose-driven work.
After scaling a startup to a $35 million valuation, she realized external
success was masking deep misalignment. Her journey from overachiever to alignment-led entrepreneur reveals why so many founders lose themselves while building businesses.
In this conversation, you'll learn:
Why burnout is often a symptom of misalignment—not overwork
How overachiever patterns can sabotage business growth
Why "business problems are personal problems in a business suit"
How self-leadership influences every business decision
The role of nervous system regulation in sustainable success
Why values alignment matters more than skills in business partnerships
