What Happens When The Overachiever Slows Down with India Tizol

Overachievers know how to do. To push. To make it happen. What they (👋🏼 hey, me too!) struggle with is slowing down.

When you're forced to step away, you also lose the congratulations, the gold star, the "great job" comments. And that can be disorienting.

So who do you become when you're forced to pause your work? That's what my friend and colleague, India Tizol, are discussing. For the first time since having a baby, she returns to the mic to talk about being visible in the void, struggling to find brain capacity when her body was asking so much of her, and navigating porous transition points.

On this episode India and Kim discuss:

• The hidden cost of working at a constant, high pace
• How motherhood reshaped India's relationship to her work
• The blurred boundaries of working from home and why separation matters
• Staying visible when your work and identity is very much shifting in the moment

 

About The Show

10,000 Tabs is a podcast about career change, reinvention, and what happens when life no longer fits the way it used to.

Each episode explores the moments when something shifts—when the version of life or work that once made sense no longer fits, and the next chapter hasn’t fully revealed itself yet.

Through candid conversations with founders, creatives, leaders, and everyday people, the show explores how we make meaning, find clarity, and move forward anyway.
