What happens when high-achieving women finally pause long enough to ask why they are so exhausted? In this candid and deeply reflective conversation, Dr. Felecia Froe is joined by Anne Peterson, leadership coach and retreat facilitator, and Dr. Robyn Alley-Hay, retired OB/GYN and physician development coach, to redefine what self-care truly means for women who carry responsibility, ambition, and care for others every day.
Drawing from their professional work and lived experience with burnout, illness, and reinvention, Anne and Robyn explore self-care as an act of sovereignty rather than indulgence. They unpack why women’s exhaustion is not a personal failing but the result of systemic expectations, invisible emotional labor, and a culture that undervalues care. The conversation moves beyond surface-level wellness to address boundaries, rest, community, emotional awareness, and financial clarity as essential components of sustainable well-being.
