The Burned Out to Badass Podcast

In today's episode, I'm breaking down a huge myth about time off for solopreneurs: the belief that time away from your business has to mean a full-blown, off-the-grid vacation to be effective. Spoiler alert: It doesn't.I've just returned from a two-week break, and while it may have seemed like the ultimate vacation to others, I'm sharing the truth: I worked while I was away, and it actually worked SO much better for me. Let's talk about why sprinkling in strategic work blocks over your time off doesn't just keep you sane—it keeps you energized and moving forward in your business.Here's why the all-or-nothing mindset about time off is setting us up for burnout and why a more nuanced approach—one that mixes work and rest—could be the key to sustainable success.If you've ever felt like you have to completely unplug to make time off “count,” this episode is for you. I'm also diving into the myths of long vacations, why strategic time off works better than you think, and how you can build your own sustainable approach to breaks (without the guilt).In this episode, you'll learn:Why you don't need a two-week vacation to truly resetHow sprinkling in strategic work sessions can make your time off more productive and restorativeThe myth that vacations always have to be elaborate getawaysWhy taking mini-vacations or short breaks throughout the year may be more beneficial than one long hiatusHow to build a business that can support this strategic approach to time offRemember, burnout-proofing your business means making rest part of your system, not something to earn. So let's make sure you can take time off without the guilt.Links & Resources:Burnout Proof Business (BPB) – Check it out in the show notes for all the tools and resources to help you build a business that can give you the flexibility you need.Connect with me on Instagram @coachellyn

You ever look at your business and think…"What if I just started over?"Burn it all down. Scrap the offers.

The ones craving white space, authenticity, and systems that actually support the life they're trying to build—not just the revenue goals they've been told to chase.I'm pulling back the curtain on what I'd do if I had to start all over again—from energy-first scheduling and one-offer simplicity to tech stack simplification and marketing that actually compounds (instead of burning you out).This isn't just strategy.

You don't have to be crying in your car to be in burnout.You don't have to be curled up in bed or hospitalized for it to “count.”Burnout doesn't always scream—it whispers. Through micromanaging, resentment, or crashing after a normal day.This episode is your early warning system.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the real, science-backed strategies to lower cortisol—most of which are free, simple, and actually work.As a former scientist turned burnout coach, I'm not here for the pseudoscience. I'm here for facts, function, and helping high-achievers actually regulate their stress hormones in a sustainable way.What You'll Learn:

You set the boundary… and then you break it.Yeah, same.In this episode, we're talking about how to set boundaries that actually stick—especially when you're the one in charge. Because burnout doesn't just come from bad clients or over-demanding teams. A lot of the time? It comes from you ignoring your own rules.Inside this episode, I'm breaking down:

This one's for the woman who's so damn done—but doesn't want to quit.You're not trying to burn it all down.

If your business breaks the moment you unplug… you haven't built a business. You've built a burnout trap.In this episode, Ellyn is getting real about what burnout taught her—not just about self-care or saying no, but about what it actually takes to build a business that holds up under pressure. A business that supports your ambition without draining your energy.She's pulling back the curtain on:The real reason high-achievers burn out (spoiler: it's not overworking)What unsustainable success actually looks likeThe systems + strategy shifts that changed everythingWhy “you just need a VA” is a lieThe #1 lesson burnout will teach you—if you're paying attentionIf you're a solopreneur doing the most and feeling the strain, this episode is your wake-up call and your blueprint.

We all know what it's like to hit that mid-afternoon crash, to push through exhaustion, and to feel like we should be able to just “grind it out.” But here's the thing—overwork isn't always the problem. Poor energy management is.And trust me, I say this as someone who has not always been great at this. I don't have some perfectly structured Pomodoro schedule, and I don't take breaks every 90 minutes like clockwork. In fact, I think I have ADHD because I either struggle to focus or hyperfixate so hard that I lose track of time completely.So in this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how I manage my energy in a way that actually works for me, including:

Look, I get it. The idea of “taking a break” to recover from burnout sounds great—until you remember you've got a business to run, a team to manage, or a career that won't just pause because you're exhausted.But here's the truth: You don't have to hit the brakes completely to recover from burnout—you just have to be smarter about how you operate.In this episode, we're talking about:

Think burnout just drains your energy? Think again. It's draining your wallet, too.

In today's episode, Ellyn Schinke dives deep into why the same-old productivity hacks (time blocking, Pomodoro, morning routines, etc.) just don't cut it for relentless high achievers. Instead of preaching “do less” or “slow down,” she debunks three common productivity myths and offers a fresh, burnout-proof framework built for those who demand more from themselves.Key Topics Covered: Myth #1 – The Time Management Myth:Discover why it's not about having less time but rather a capacity problem—and how trying to squeeze more in only limits your space to execute. Myth #2 – The Motivation & Willpower Myth:Learn why high achievers aren't lazy; it's the broken systems that need fixing, not your discipline. Myth #3 – The “Do Less and Slow Down” Myth:Understand why traditional work-life balance advice doesn't resonate for those with big ambitions and how to work in high-efficiency bursts instead.Takeaways & Action Steps: Stop trying to “squeeze more in” and instead focus on creating space for execution. Systematize and delegate to free up capacity—your brain is already doing the heavy lifting. Reframe productivity: it's not about working less; it's about working smarter with systems that actually support your relentless drive.Call to Action:What's the worst productivity advice you've ever received?

Welcome to Episode 151 of the Burnout-Proof Podcast—our first episode of 2025!

Yes - I had reverb on my mic in this episode! I'm sorry! I've turned it off and it won't be turned on again... As we close out 2024, let's take a moment to reflect on the lessons this year has brought us. In this final episode of the year, I'm sharing three powerful lessons I learned about burnout, growth, and being a high achiever. From recalibrating routines to realizing the importance of systems, this episode is a loving (and honest) kick in the butt to help you start 2025 with intention and clarity. If you've ever felt torn between freedom and structure, struggled to implement the strategies you've invested in, or wondered why you can't seem to “settle,” this episode is for you. Grab a coffee, take a deep breath, and let's dive in. What You'll Learn in This Episode: New Level, New Devil: Why freedom and discipline aren't enemies but partners—and how I found a sustainable balance after rebelling against routines earlier this year. Shiny Objects vs. Systems: The hard truth about why growth starts with foundations, not quick fixes, and how skipping this step held me back in 2024. High Achievers Aren't Meant to Settle: Embracing constant evolution as a strength rather than seeing it as a flaw—and why new challenges are opportunities, not problems. Key Takeaways: Recalibrating after burnout is normal—sometimes you need to rebel against routines to find a structure that feels good again. Investing in growth only works if you have the capacity and systems to implement what you learn. High achievers thrive on growth and evolution. Stop chasing “settled” and embrace the process instead. Reflection Questions: Where have you been rebelling against structure, and what would a happy medium look like for you? Are your systems strong enough to support the growth you're chasing in 2025? How can you embrace your constant evolution instead of fighting it?

This is about recognizing where your drive comes from and making sure it's fueling you, not depleting you. Together, we'll explore the differences between purpose-driven and pressure-driven hustle, how each one feels, and how to make the shift toward meaningful, sustainable work. I'll also share actionable tips and the role that burnout-proof systems play in making sure your hustle stays aligned with your goals, long-term vision, and the life you actually want to lead. RESOURCES in this Episode: Subscribe to the Sunday CEO Diaries (and get FIRST DIPS on mega discounted Black Friday offers) - https://www.coachellyn.com/list Key Takeaways Purpose-Driven vs. Pressure-Driven Hustle: Purpose-driven hustle energizes and aligns with your goals and values, while pressure-driven hustle stems from external expectations, comparison, or fear, often leading to burnout. Common Signs of Pressure-Driven Hustle: Constant feelings of being behind, fear-based motivation, endless to-do lists, and a focus on “shoulds” instead of what truly lights you up. Shifting to Purpose-Driven Hustle: By revisiting your ‘why,' setting intentional boundaries, identifying tasks that feel expansive, and checking in weekly, you can transform how you work. How Systems Support Purpose: Burnout-proof systems streamline your work, help you stay focused on high-impact tasks, and free you from busywork—keeping your hustle aligned with what matters most. Sound Bites: “This isn't about working less. It's about making sure your work is meaningful and sustainable.” “Hustling from pressure feels heavy and draining. Purpose-driven hustle fuels you because it's aligned with what you really care about.” “Ask yourself: Is your hustle lighting you up, or is it weighing you down?” “Burnout-proofing doesn't mean slowing down; it means building a work style that's high-energy and sustainable.” “When you build the right systems, you're not holding back—you're setting yourself up for the highest impact.” Keywords: Purpose-driven hustle Pressure-driven hustle Burnout-proof systems High-achievers Sustainable success Work-life balance Business systems for entrepreneurs Productivity for high-achievers Preventing burnout Alignment in business

In this episode, I sit down with Jillian Rigert to explore her journey of self-discovery and authenticity. We dive into the pressures that often lead us away from our true passions and discuss the importance of giving ourselves permission to pivot when something no longer aligns. We also touch on the challenges of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and the fear of failure that many high achievers face. Jillian shares her experiences with identity shifts and how embracing her true self led to greater fulfillment and genuine connections.

Societal pressures and expectations can lead us astray from our true passions and values. High achievers often struggle with people-pleasing, perfectionism, and the fear of failure. Embracing authenticity and letting go of guilt and shame is essential for personal growth. Finding a sense of belonging comes from being true to oneself and surrounding oneself with supportive people. Stepping into one's authentic self often requires challenging societal expectations and conforming to one's own values. Identity shifts can be destabilizing, but it's important to remember that worthiness is not tied to career titles or achievements. Self-awareness and self-trust are crucial in navigating career pivots and making decisions based on the present moment. Focusing on what can be controlled and accepting the uncertainty of the future can lead to a more fulfilling and meaningful life. Genuine connections and relationships are more valuable than external markers of success. Sound Bites "I made it my mission to help others learn these lessons before they get to the place where they don't have time to change." "I'm finally getting back to what I actually thought was my authentic desire which was to become a therapist. So why not start now?" "I constantly was striving for external validation, mostly by people close to me, and I never could do enough." "What are some of the things as you started emerging from this, stepping more into your authentic self, doing these things that felt like they were infinitely more aligned with who you should have been this entire time, what did that look like?" "I'm so glad I joined the Air Force. I really loved it. And I think I could have found a place where I was, you know, the healer as part of the mission." "Control the controllables, but be able to really feel the human experience, which is a whole spectrum of emotions." About Jillian Rigert, DMD, MD Life & Leadership Coaching After pushing herself to exhaustion in pursuit of worth through achievements, Jillian realized her path as an oral and maxillofacial surgeon was unsustainable. Feeling trapped, she risked my career to save her life and transitioned into oral medicine, academia, and research. Through coaching, Jillian reclaimed control and now helps others create fulfilling lives grounded in self-compassion and true worth.

How do we bounce back when we're disappointed? In work. In life. What do we do? I had an experience like this recently. Something that should've been HUGE in my business and a big launching point for me... wasn't. And it was hard. So, how do we bounce back? How do we navigate? What's the right and wrong for how to approach this? Let's talk about it. Here's the New York Times article. Keywords disappointment, emotions, processing, recovery, self-care, expectations, support Takeaways Don't ignore or dismiss negative emotions when facing disappointment; allow yourself to feel and process them. Engage in self-care activities that help you release stress and emotions, such as crying, journaling, and physical exercise. Seek support from trusted individuals to gain different perspectives and validate your feelings. Manage your expectations to avoid setting yourself up for disappointment. Look for the positive aspects and lessons in challenging situations to find resilience and bounce back. Sound Bites "One of the big reasons a lot of us burn out is because we shove down emotions." "We've got to find the good in this situation. Is it what you expected? No. But I've kind of for a while... I personally feel like expectations do us a disservice a lot of the time." "Even though the article was in a lot of ways, I think, unfair... I think if the article did anything, it demonstrated how freaking needed my profession is."

Keywords... healing, self-acceptance, reframing perspectives, success, low points, support, rest, boundaries, self-love, play, freedom, passion, fulfillment, burnout, spirituality, authenticity, self-care, self-love, relationships, energy, imperfections Takeaways... Healing and self-acceptance can come from traumatic experiences Success should be defined by personal fulfillment and not external markers Low points can be transformational and lead to personal growth Rest, boundaries, and self-love are essential for a fulfilling life Play and freedom are important for finding success and happiness Passion and fulfillment are essential in work to feel motivated and inspired. Burnout is not just about overwork, but also about how much you are pouring into yourself. Embracing spirituality and connecting with one's authentic self can lead to personal growth and fulfillment. Self-care and self-love are crucial for maintaining emotional and spiritual well-being. Being true to oneself and embracing imperfections can lead to more authentic and fulfilling relationships. Energy plays a significant role in our experiences and interactions with others. Inauthenticity can lead to burnout and a lack of fulfillment in various areas of life. Prioritizing self-care and self-love allows for a more vibrant and fulfilling life. Sound Bites... "We have so much more power in our lives than we allow ourselves to seize" "The worst experience is only the worst experience, and they come in a variety of contexts" "Success is about creating a stable foundation for play, rest, and freedom" "We're better at what we're doing if we can come from that place of passion." "Burnout is not about overwork. It is about how much you are pouring into yourself." "Shifting perspective sends a message that I am also a priority." About Jaclyn Lanae—In Jaclyn's Words… I've been crafting stories all my life. As a little girl I dreamed up complex characters, created dramatic backstories for them, and sent them running around in my imagination so I could watch them live. I never considered making a career out of it though until that funny little thing happened to me. Ok, that big, huge, crazy, scary, wonderful thing. The motorcycle accident. THE accident. As you may know I genuinely consider it one of the greatest gifts I've ever been given – I've even come to love my misshapen legs and massive scars. The real gift though was in the way it changed me, the way it changed how I was living my life. Life here on this plane can be hard. And immensely beautiful. After that accident I finally understood I wanted to live a life I would LOVE – once I figured out what that would look like – and help others do the same. I wanted to LOVE myself, and once I figured that out, I wanted to share it too. So. Here I am. Writing. Living. Sharing. And loving it.
