Taking Back Monday
When Being a Badass Becomes a Burden feat. Kirstin Carey
In this episode of Taking Back Monday, Alyssa Nolte sits down with Kirstin Carey to explore what happens when your strength becomes your biggest obstacle. From growing up in a “walk it off” culture to burning out while helping others heal, Kirstin shares how her identity as a high performer masked deeper patterns of overgiving, undercharging, and self-sacrifice.
Alyssa and Kirstin talk about what it means to lead, price, and live with integrity - especially for women who were raised to prove their worth by carrying more than their share.
If you’ve ever felt like your hustle was hurting more than helping, this one’s for you.
Key Takeaways
→ Being a martyr at work isn’t noble...it’s exhausting, and it sends the wrong message to your team
→ Undercharging doesn’t help your clients - it keeps them disengaged and keeps you depleted
→ Your childhood patterns don’t have to dictate your business model or your worth
