In this opening episode of The Clear State, Jennifer Picci dismantles the myth that high performance protects us from burnout—in fact, it often hides it. Speaking directly to deep-hearted high achievers, she shares the personal and universal journey from exhaustion to clarity, and why rest isn’t weakness but regulation—and regulation is clarity.

Jennifer unpacks why doing “all the right things” often isn’t enough, how we confuse output with worth, and what it really means to live and lead from a clear state. She explores the cost of white-knuckled self-care, the emotional fog created by guilt and over-responsibility, and the power of reclaiming beauty, peace, and generosity—from overflow, not sacrifice.

This episode sets the tone for a new way of being: less about pushing through and more about tuning in.
