Perfectionist Burnout with Dr. Tiffany Moon | 306

This Is Woman's Work with Nicole Kalil

Let’s be real: some of us aren’t just experiencing burnout—we’re perfecting it. Overachieving our way into exhaustion. Piling on responsibilities like it’s an Olympic sport. And believing that if we just get it right enough, peace and happiness will magically follow.

In this episode, I’m joined by Dr. Tiffany Moon, a board-certified anesthesiologist, CEO, speaker, entrepreneur, wine and candle maker (yes, really), and reality TV alum—basically a walking resume of overachievement. But she’s also someone who knows what it feels like to chase perfection at the expense of joy—and how to break free from it.

Her book, Joy Prescriptions, explores the cost of perfectionism and what it really takes to reclaim your happiness. Together, we’re talking burnout, boundaries, high-achieving pressure, and how to stop proving your worth through productivity.

In This Episode, We Cover:

✅ What perfectionist burnout really looks like (and why it’s so sneaky)

✅ The hidden cost of tying your identity to achievement

✅ Why rest is not a reward—it’s a requirement

✅ Practical ways to redefine success without burning out

If you’re tired of proving, pushing, or performing your way to “enough”—this one’s for you.
