  Jackie Roby: When Success Keeps You in Survival Mode

  Jul 20, 202624 min

  Success isn’t always a sign that you’re thriving. Sometimes it’s a sign that you’ve become really good at surviving. In this episode, Cinnamon sits down with executive leadership advisor Jackie Roby to unpack the hidden cost of high performance. Together they explore why so many accomplished professionals—especially those who have built careers by over-delivering, overworking, and people-pleasing—find themselves stuck in burnout, self-silencing, and survival mode. Jackie shares why organizations often reward behaviors that eventually lead to exhaustion, how our nervous system influences leadership, and why sustainable success requires more than simply working harder. In this conversation you’ll discover: - Why high performers often become trapped in survival mode - The hidden cost of people-pleasing and self-silencing at work - How organizations unintentionally reward burnout behaviors - Why your nervous system may be driving your leadership decisions - How leaders can create healthier, people-first workplaces If you’ve ever felt successful on paper but exhausted behind the scenes, this episode is for you.
