Leaving What No Longer Serves You: Tools for Personal and Professional Growth with Dr. Rosenna Bakari
Wed Dec 31 2025
Burnout isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s a signal that something in your life is out of alignment. In this episode of The Mental Health & Wellness Show, I, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, sit down with empowerment psychologist, wellness consultant, and seven-time author Dr. Rosenna Bakari to explore how high-functioning individuals can reclaim their energy, clarity, and purpose by focusing on alignment and self-centeredness rather than external validation.
Dr. Bakari shares insights from her latest book, Seven Exits: Leave Behind What No Longer Serves You, a transformative framework designed especially for high-functioning individuals who appear strong, capable, and successful on the outside, yet feel disconnected, depleted, or unfulfilled on the inside. Together, we unpack why traditional help-seeking models often fail high achievers and how lived experience, self-awareness, and alignment are essential to sustainable well-being and leadership.
In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why burnout is often a sign of misalignment rather than personal failure, especially for high-functioning individualsWhat self-centering truly means—and how it builds resilience, agency, and emotional wellness without selfishnessThe Seven Exits framework and how releasing patterns like hyper-ego, silence, and stagnant relationships restores clarity and peaceHow alignment and wholeness—not chasing passion or purpose—create sustainable fulfillment and effective leadershipHow to recognize when it’s time to exit a situation with wisdom, self-trust, and emotional empowermentDr. Rosenna Bakari helps high-functioning individuals cultivate alignment, self-trust, and personal freedom. Her work blends lived experience, mental wellness, and holistic strategies to guide people toward authentic leadership, self-centered practices, and sustainable well-being.
Join me, Dr. Tomi Mitchell, for a transformative conversation with Dr. Bakari on alignment, self-trust, and reclaiming your power so you can lead, live, and thrive from the inside out.
