You don't have to be crying on your bathroom floor to be burnt out.
In this episode, Anacani Walters names the kind of burnout most heart-led entrepreneurs never talk about: quiet burnout. It's the numb, resentful, flat feeling that shows up mid-scroll, after a big push, or even on a slow Tuesday when nothing is technically wrong.
She walks through the real warning signs (needing caffeine just to function, feeling overstimulated by 2pm on a slow day, dreading work you used to love), breaks down what's actually happening in your body (elevated cortisol, disrupted dopamine), and explains why willpower alone cannot fix a dysregulated nervous system.
You'll also hear the FILL Method (feel, invite pleasure, let yourself receive, lead) and get an inside look at Dopamine Oasis, the one-time $7 app Anacani built to give heart-led CEOs a nervous system or motivation reset in under five minutes.
