Burnout or boredom? What if the reason you feel “off” isn’t burnout—but a sign you’ve outgrown your current season?
You’re showing up. You’re doing well.
From the outside, everything looks good.
So why does it feel… flat?
In this episode, we unpack a common but often misdiagnosed experience for ambitious, mid-career women: the difference between burnout and boredom—and why what you’re feeling might actually be something deeper.
If you’ve ever thought:
- This should feel more fulfilling than it does
- I’ve worked hard to get here—so why does something feel off?
- Do I need a break… or do I need something more?
This conversation will help you find Clarity.

- The hidden cost of staying in a role you’ve outgrown

Sheri Miter is a serial entrepreneur. Her first business was selling painted rocks to neighbors when she was 7! This entrepreneurial spirit led her to many failures but also some huge successes, such as a Chimney Cleaning business with her husband Tom, a professional firefighter, and eventually a business as a Mary Kay sales director. While in Mary Kay, Sheri led her team to six-figure years multiple times, and YES, she drove the iconic pink Cadillac for part of her career!
Despite her success as a Sales Director in Mary Kay, Sheri found herself at a crossroads after 25 years. She began to question if this was the path she truly wanted for the next decade of her life. Even after achieving her best year, she felt a sense of weariness and asked herself, 'Is it ever going to be enough?' This internal struggle led her to a brave decision- to step away from her role as a Sales Director and embark on a new journey. This journey led her to become a Gallup Certified CliftonStrengths Coach. Today, Sheri has crafted a life she loves, assisting other highly successful women to discover their 'what’s next' career. She is passionate about working with women who have achieved success making the money, but are now eager to make an impact by unleashing their God-given strengths and embracing their true calling!
When Sheri isn’t busy with her clients or recording a new podcast, she cherishes her time with her grandkids and embarks on exciting adventures with her husband. Their escapades often include the beach, biking, or out boats. At the end of a fulfilling day, they savor the beauty of the sunset with a cocktail in hand, a testament to Sheri's belief in enjoying life's journey.
