Victoria Nielsen sits down with physician, TEDx speaker, and author Dr. Shola Ezeokoli to talk burnout, boundaries, and why women don’t fail systems do.

Dr. Shola shares her experience with medical residency, motherhood, and extreme burnout, and introduces The Strategic No: a framework for saying no intentionally, protecting your energy, and redefining leadership through a feminine, collaborative lens.

In this episode, we discussed:

• Why women are disproportionately burned out
• The pressure to “do it all” and why it’s harmful
• Boundaries, guilt, and people-pleasing
• Choosing struggles consciously
• Women supporting women in medicine and leadership
