70: Breaking Burnout and Isolation for Women in Business

If you’ve ever felt the weight of leadership without a lifeline, you’re not alone and that’s the problem.

High-achieving women often find themselves isolated at the top, navigating big decisions and burnout in silence. Dr. Phildra Swagger peels back the layers of this hidden struggle and shares the powerful truth: growth shouldn’t happen in isolation. From outgrowing old circles to feeling unsupported in wins, she explains why surrounding yourself with other ambitious women is the key to sustainable success.

When you build a support system of women who get it, you stop second-guessing and start expanding. Leadership feels lighter and more joyful when it’s shared.
