Episode 114

What happens when success keeps going—but your capacity doesn’t?
In this episode of Live Brighter with Tara, I sit down with Alisha Fickert, top-producing Realtor who openly shares her journey through burnout following the devastation of the Camp Fire in 2018 and the prolonged strain of the COVID-19 pandemic. What looked like resilience on the outside slowly turned into exhaustion, overwhelm, and disconnection on the inside.
Alicia reflects on how burnout shows up, why so many high-achievers miss the early warning signs, and what it truly takes to recover—not by doing more, but by honoring limits. We talk about the power of boundaries, the necessity of self-care, and why scheduling time for joy isn’t indulgent—it’s essential.
✨ This conversation is for anyone who loves their work but feels stretched thin, reminding us that sustainable success is rooted in well-being, balance, and permission to rest.
