Sonya Figueiredo Launches 10-Week Protocol to Overcome Superwoman Syndrome

Professional Women Burn Out at Record Rates — New Leadership Coaching Program Offers Strategic Relief

NEW YORK, April 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- As burnout rates soar among mid-career professional women, life and leadership coach Sonya Figueiredo, founder of Mindful Transitions, has launched the Higher Mind Protocol — a 10-week coaching program designed to help women over 40 break free from chronic overwhelm and unsustainable expectations.

The program is a direct response to the growing number of women navigating "Superwoman Syndrome" — the drive to do it all, often at the cost of personal well-being.  According to Fortune (July 2024), 44% of women report experiencing burnout, outpacing men by nearly 10 points. Deloitte's global study found 53% of women report rising stress levels year-over-year, while KPMG revealed that 75% of female executives experience imposter syndrome, further fueling emotional fatigue.

The Higher Mind Protocol offers a structured, evidence-based approach. It combines values-aligned coaching, practical strategies, and the Meta Dynamics™ Profiling Tool — a cognitive framework that identifies thought patterns to support sustainable change. Rather than addressing symptoms alone, it empowers participants to tackle root causes, build self-leadership, and restore balance.

"Professional women are not burned out because they lack ambition — they're burned out because they've internalised the belief that their value lies in doing everything for everyone," says Sonya Figueiredo. "The Higher Mind Protocol is designed to challenge that narrative and give women the tools to lead with clarity, confidence, and purpose."

Participants in the 10-week journey gain access to 1:1 coaching, weekly Q&A calls, and proprietary frameworks such as the Clarity Code and Triple Impact Rule — designed to improve communication, reset boundaries, and realign action with core values. The program is particularly suited for organisations aiming to support emerging women leaders and strengthen employee retention and well-being.
