So Money with Farnoosh Torabi · Wednesday, September 30, 2026
Farnoush Akrami and her guest, Uniterotini, discussed the fine line between being a high achiever and an overachiever, particularly when individuals find it difficult to disconnect from work. This can lead to stress and a feeling of being unable to take a break.
“I spoke with this man who has a law firm the other day and he was telling me, "Ugh, even if I have told myself and I totally can shut down at 6 p.m. and not respond to emails, the fact that not responding makes me more stressed than actually just sitting down a couple of hours responding."”
“And that's when it's like, the high achiever has become the overachiever. Where you just cannot shut it down. You cannot take a break from it.”
