What happens when the ambition and focus that fuelled your success becomes the very thing that consumes your identity and life outside of work? Entrepreneurs and high achievers are known for tying their self-worth directly to their business performance, which can often lead to silent burnout, strained relationships, and physical distress on the other side. Join Tom Wheelwright as he explores how to maintain high achievement without losing yourself in the process with guest Dr. Angelica Perez-Litwin.

Dr. Angelica Perez-Litwin is a clinical psychologist with three decades of experience, specializing in working with high achievers, executives, and founders. She is the author of "The Great Unraveling: A Silent Crisis of High Achievers," a comprehensive guide on identifying career distress responses and breaking free from performance-tied identity.

In this episode, learn why ambition itself isn't the problem, how to spot the warning signs of career distress before burnout strikes, strategies for "diversifying your life" as an entrepreneur, and how to stay grounded and connected while building a successful business.
