What if your burnout isn’t something a holiday, a weekend off or an early night can fix?
Sometimes we’re exhausted because we genuinely need rest, but sometimes that flat, heavy feeling is telling us something completely different. And if we’re solving the wrong problem, it’s no wonder nothing seems to change.
In this episode, I’m breaking burnout down into five different places it can come from: capacity, physical depletion, performance, lost joy and timing.
I want to help you work out what’s actually draining you, because you might not need to burn your whole life down. You may simply need clarity about what needs to change.
Highlights:
(05:09) - Why burnout isn’t always an energy problem
(09:59) - Are you expecting today’s version of you to have yesterday’s capacity?
(14:36) - When the answer really is to stop, rest and do less
(19:05) - The burnout that comes from living a life that no longer fits
(23:32) - How the things that once brought you joy get buried beneath the admin
(32:17) - Why accepting the wrong timing isn’t the same as giving up
