198. What It Takes to Lose Weight When You’re Burned Out and Everyone Depends on You as an Asian Leader Ft. May Yer Thao

This episode is for you if you’re trying to lose weight, but you’re also the one everyone depends on. In this conversation, I sit down with May Yer, an executive in the nonprofit space, where the work doesn’t stop, and the pressure is constant. She’s leading, making decisions, showing up for her team and community, and at the same time, trying to take care of her own health after experiencing burnout.

If you’re in a similar position, you already know it’s not just about “finding time” to workout or eat better. It’s the mental load, the responsibility, the expectation to keep going no matter what that makes it easy for your own needs to fall to the bottom of the list. Today, we dive into redefining leadership as Asian women when we no longer attach self-abandonment with it and what it actually looks like to lose weight when your capacity is low, and your plate is already full.

Here’s what we get into:

- What burnout actually looks like as an Asian American leader not just feeling “tired,” but how it shows up in your energy, eating habits, and ability to stay consistent

- Why traditional weight loss approaches fall apart in high-responsibility seasons, even when you know what to do and have done it before

- What starts to shift when you stop waiting for more time or less stress, and begin working with your capacity and the life you’re actually living right now
