E207 From Burnout and OCD to a Values-Driven Life with Jamie Gantt

Calm Your Daily Stress - Stress Relief for the Busy Woman

Jamie Gantt is a coach, speaker, and author who helps ambitious women ditch burnout and redefine success on their own terms. She’s all about honest conversations, real self-care, and building a life that actually feels good.

In this episode:

• Jamie shares how chasing “success” to escape a toxic childhood led her straight into severe burnout and constant exhaustion.
• She talks about her old “work hard, play hard” lifestyle and how it left her anxious, panicked, and unable to even get out of bed.
• Jamie explains how hidden signs of burnout, like irritability, OCD habits, and feeling disconnected from your life, can sneak up on you.
• She opens up about how her OCD symptoms disappeared once she healed from burnout — showing how burnout messes with your mind and body.
• Jamie dives into how coping mechanisms (like overworking, overdrinking, or perfectionism) are survival tools, not failures — and why compassion matters.
• She shares why the real first step to healing burnout isn’t another self-care hack — it’s getting real about your true values and realigning your life.
• Jamie gives powerful advice on how to stop “should-ing” all over yourself by asking: is that inner voice even yours... or someone else's?
