Podcasts about Burnout

Former professional volleyball player, model, and lifelong athlete Gabrielle Reece joins the show for a grounded, powerful conversation about what it actually means to think—and live—like an athlete.We talk about pursuing excellence without perfection, why being “selfish” with your energy can make you better for everyone around you, and how mental strength is built just as deliberately as physical strength. Gabby shares what truly drives her, how she uses fear as a compass instead of a stop sign, and the importance of telling yourself better stories—especially as you move through different seasons of life.We also get practical: her real life gratitude practice, exercise snacking for busy days, the one movement almost everyone can do in 10 minutes for maximum benefit, her current training split, and non stimulant ways she supports energy and focus (including an honest take on nicotine). Gabby opens up about being wired for hypervigilance, shedding old identities, navigating conflict in marriage and parenting, and why internal strength matters more than external toughness.This episode is about aging with power, feeling good through perimenopause, building better boundaries with yourself, and surrounding yourself with people who raise your standard. If you want to train your body, sharpen your mindset, and live with more intention—this one will stay with you.This episode is brought to you by:Go to CLEARSTEM.com/WELL and use code WELL at checkout to get 15% off your first order.If you want clearer insight into your health, go to ForHers.com and schedule your labs todayVisit Piquelife.com/well to get 20% off.Go to paleovalley.com/well or use code well at checkout for 15% off your first purchase.

If you feel mentally crowded, over-influenced, or disconnected from your own powers, today's episode is for you. It's about how stepping back — intentionally — can restore clarity, confidence, and direction. We explore why solitude isn't loneliness, but a practical tool for better decisions and stronger self-trust. Drawing from Carl Jung's idea of individuation, Nietzsche's writing on original thought, and examples like Sarah Blakely building Spanx against outside advice, the episode looks at how people develop an internal compass instead of borrowing one from the world. I also introduce the “Inner Board Meeting” framework: a way to separate the voices of vision, execution, and self-protection so choices come from your core, not reactivity. Along the way, we examine burnout as identity suppression, midlife crises as unmet meaning, and the hidden cost of being too available to others. The goal isn't withdrawal—it's learning how to hear yourself again. Ready to turn your newsletter into your career?

Burnout does not always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like a successful career, a stable job, and a life that makes sense on paper. And still, your body knows something is wrong. If you have ever found yourself in the middle of a midlife career shift, questioning your work, or wondering why you feel exhausted even when everything seems fine, this conversation will meet you right where you are.In this episode, I talk with Ellen Whitlock Baker about the quiet unraveling that led to her line-in-the-sand moment. Years of people-pleasing, pushing through, and trying to belong in systems that were never built for her finally caught up with her in the most unexpected place. Sitting in a theater, watching the musical Beetlejuice, Ellen broke down. Not because the show was sad, but because her body had reached its limit. What followed was a brave decision to walk away from a very stable job and begin rebuilding a life and career rooted in alignment instead of obligation.This is a story about workplace burnout and listening to yourself before everything falls apart. About honoring the signals you have learned to ignore. And about trusting that even when the next step feels risky, there is another way to live and work that does not cost you yourself.What You'll HearWhat burnout feels like before you have language for itHow belonging, or the lack of it, quietly shapes our career choicesThe moment Ellen's body finally said enoughWhy leaving a stable job can feel terrifying and deeply right at the same timeWhat rebuilding looks like when you choose alignment over approvalA reminder that it is not you that is broken; sometimes it is the systemGuest BioEllen Whitlock Baker is the founder and CEO of EWB Coaching, where she helps professionals learn how to prioritize themselves in a world that often tells them not to. With empathy and honesty at the center of her work, Ellen supports leaders in understanding their strengths and building careers that feel sustainable, human, and aligned.With more than 20 years of workplace experience and certification through the International Coaching Federation, Ellen works with individuals and organizations through one-on-one coaching, workshops, and courses. After navigating her own experiences with burnout and self-doubt, she is on a mission to help others never reach that breaking point. Ellen is also the host of the Hard at Work podcast, which identifies what isn't working in today's workplaces and explores how we might change them.Connect with EllenWebsite: https://ewbcoaching.comPodcast: https://hardatworkpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ellenwhitlockbaker/Instagram: @ellenwbcoaching------Listen and follow: www.thelifeshiftpodcast.com/followSupport the show for ad-free and early release episodes: www.patreon.com/thelifeshiftpodcastSubscribe to the newsletter:

A special release in honor of National Women Physicians Day 2026. Today's conversation is an invitation to notice overfunctioning with compassion. Overfunctioning may have helped you succeed in medicine but it often costs you intimacy, energy, and connection.   Overfunctioning and underfunctioning, as well as the resentment that follows, are a familiar relational dynamic. Overfunctioning is not a personality flaw; It's a role we step into. It is shaped by our training, context, and culture.   When we pause, rest, and allow space, we usually find that the world doesn't fall apart. Others step forward in their own time and way. Even when it feels unfamiliar, this shift can offer clarity, growth, and alignment with how we truly want to live and lead.     Pearls of Wisdom • Overfunctioning is a relational role developed in response to internal and external expectations. • When one person consistently does more, others often do less. Over time, the systems adapted this way. • Resentment is information. It often signals over-capacity. • Doing less can be an act of love that allows systems and relationships to reorganize. • When we stop stabilizing what's falling around us and tend to our own nervous systems first, is when change begins.     Reflection Questions Where in your life are you doing more than your share simply because you are capable? What feels most uncomfortable about stepping back? What might happen if you rest or stop managing? What would love do this week in your relationships or at work? Join me for coaching or a retreat to explore how to change the overfunctioning habit.  www.jessiemahoneymd.com In Mindful Love Small Group Coaching we specifically look at overfunctioining in the context of our intimate relationships. In Leading from the Heart and Transition Well Small Group Coaching  we work on it in the context of career and life pivots and leadership.  At retreats and advanced coaching, we work on moving beyond it in every realm of your life. If you are interested in having me speak to your group on overfunctioning or any of the topics discussed in this podcast, find out more here www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking or email me at jessie@jessiemahoneymd.com.

Burnout isn't a personal failure; it's a physiological response to prolonged stress. Unfortunately, it often appears in military spouse life more frequently than we realize. In this episode, we delve deeper into what burnout actually is, why military spouses are particularly vulnerable to it, and how it often disguises itself as “just being tired,” staying busy, or pushing through another season. We talk about the stress cycle, early warning signs of burnout, and why self-care doesn't work when we don't first understand what our bodies are asking for. You'll also hear practical, accessible ways to start interrupting burnout — not through expensive routines or doing more, but by creating margin, completing the stress cycle, setting better boundaries, and building supportive relationships that make military life more sustainable. If you've been functioning but feel disconnected, depleted, or like you're losing yourself in the process, this conversation will help you name what's happening and take the first steps toward feeling like yourself again.

Are you a mom who feels exhausted, overwhelmed, and mentally drained… even when your baby is sleeping? You are not lazy. You are not broken. And this is not “just motherhood.” In this episode of Nutrition for Mamas, postpartum dietitian and lactation counselor Brooke Miller interviews board-certified psychiatrist Dr. Stefanie Reinald to unpack what burnout in motherhood really looks like, how it differs from postpartum depression and anxiety, and why so many moms feel depleted years after having a baby. We cover: • Signs of mom burnout vs postpartum depression • Why nutrient depletion after pregnancy makes exhaustion worse • Hormone shifts after birth that impact mood, focus, and energy • Iron deficiency, vitamin D, and under-eating postpartum • Why ADHD is often diagnosed after motherhood • The mental load of modern moms • Working moms vs stay at home moms and burnout risk • Why “pushing harder” makes things worse • Simple ways to feel like yourself again without optimizing your life to death Dr. Reinald shares clinical insight from working with thousands of women plus her own experience as a mom of four navigating postpartum mental health, career pressure, and identity loss. If you've ever thought: “I shouldn't feel this tired.” “I used to handle more than this.” “I love my kids but I feel empty.” This episode will change how you see your body, brain, and season of life.

Hey Nurse friend, Today, I'm sharing a conversation I had with Lacey Conner on her podcast: Image Bearers. We have a casual conversation about nurse burnout and identity. We talk about how burnout show up in our lives, differently and the way God led us both to using our skills and expertise in nursing in our current season of life. Lacey is a mom to 4, RN and host of the podcast, Image Bearers. She is using the podcast to glorify God by sitting down with people and their story. Because we are made in the image of God, we have bestowed worth and dignity. She is wanting people to feel like they are seen, heard, and loved. To love another person is to see the face of God and I believe this to be true. Wherever you are in your nursing journey, I believe this conversation with shed light on how you can live out your identity with less stress.

What if the reason your business feels overwhelming isn't a lack of hustle—but a lack of support? In this episode of The Story Engine Podcast, Kyle Gray sits down with business coach and outsourcing expert Kirsten Graham to unpack why so many entrepreneurs burn out trying to do everything themselves—and how the right kind of support can completely transform both your business and your life.

Jamie Vinck is a seasoned behavioral health executive, therapist, and author of The Rehab Playbook. With a background in corporate HR and a powerful personal journey through family, leadership, and loss, Jamie brings a unique blend of clinical insight and real-world business acumen. As the CEO of The Meadows and a board leader in national addiction treatment efforts, she is passionate about helping people find healthier coping mechanisms and create lasting change. Her work bridges professional success and personal healing — a true catalyst for transformation. Three Key Quotes "Addiction is a chronic brain disease" "We all have coping strategies — they're healthy until they're not." "We heal in community. We're all hardwired for connection." Jamie Vinck shares her journey from corporate HR to behavioral health leadership, highlighting the realities of addiction, coping mechanisms, and life transitions. She unpacks how trauma, stress, and even success can mask addiction — and how finding a healthy outlet can be the catalyst for real healing and lasting transformation. 5 Key Takeaways 1. Redefining Addiction Addiction is not about willpower; it's a chronic disease with biological and psychological components. Misconceptions about addiction can delay treatment and increase stigma. Understanding addiction's complexity helps us become better allies and support systems. 2. Cross-Addiction is Real Switching from one addiction (e.g., opioids) to another (e.g., gambling or shopping) is common. The brain seeks dopamine, not the specific substance. Healthy coping mechanisms must be intentional and structured. 3. The Danger in Life Transitions Moments like empty nesting, divorce, or job loss can trigger relapse or new addictions. Many people don't see these changes as high risk, but they are. Awareness and preparation during transitions can prevent maladaptive behaviors. 4. Healthy Coping Isn't Always Healthy "Healthy" outlets like work or exercise can become addictions if they harm relationships or self-care. Self-reflection questions (e.g., "Am I hurting anyone?") help determine if habits are problematic. Balance is the key — passion shouldn't overshadow wellbeing. 5. Exposure Creates Possibility In treatment, people are introduced to new passions — journaling, sports, horses, music, and more. Discovery is key to replacing negative patterns with fulfilling practices. The light in someone's eyes when they find joy is a powerful catalyst for growth.

In this episode, Jamie sits down with Colin Stevens to talk about the difference between communicating and actually connecting. They unpack why teams can look successful on the outside but be disconnected on the inside, how adversity reveals character, and why connection always carries risk. You'll also learn the two types of respect, the quiet trust-killers that damage teams over time, and the three controllables—effort, attitude, and energy—that determine whether connection grows or dies. www.YourHealth.Org

If you've found yourself feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, or wondering how you're supposed to do another year of fundraising like this, this episode is for you.In this episode, I'm breaking down what fundraising burnout actually is and why it keeps showing up for capable, committed nonprofit leaders. This isn't about working harder, pushing through, or needing more discipline. Most burnout isn't solved by rest alone. It comes from carrying too many open decisions, too many mental tabs, and too much responsibility without enough structure or support. I talk about how stress cycles stay open in fundraising, how avoidance and indecision quietly drain your energy, and why clarity and decisiveness often bring more relief than another day off. I also share practical ways to close loops, reduce overwhelm, and rebuild momentum without burning yourself out again. If fundraising has started to feel heavy or unsustainable, this episode will help you understand what's happening beneath the surface and give you a clearer, more supportive path forward.Topics:What is fundraising burnout, and what it isn'tWhy burnout is often a stress cycle, not just exhaustionDecision fatigue and its impact on fundraising momentumHow avoidance and “tinkering” worsen burnoutWhy rest alone doesn't close open mental loopsThe power of decisiveness as a leadership toolHow to break big, overwhelming tasks into bite-sized actionsUsing movement to complete the stress cycleIdentifying what's urgent vs. what just feels urgentBuilding systems that reduce burnout long-termFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

Episode Description: AJ and Johnny sit down with psychologist Guy Winch, author of Mind Over Grind, to unpack how grind culture quietly erodes our mental health, relationships, and sense of self — often without us realizing it. Guy explains why stress no longer stays at work, how rumination turns unpaid overtime into chronic burnout, and why many high performers confuse exhaustion with productivity. They explore the blurred boundary between work and home, the hidden damage of always-on thinking, and how modern workplaces amplify anxiety, resentment, and emotional withdrawal. This conversation offers practical ways to reclaim control: recognizing harmful rumination, creating transition rituals, recharging instead of just resting, and redesigning workdays to protect focus, relationships, and meaning — without sacrificing ambition.

Patrick Lencioni built a multimillion-dollar business, sold 10 million books, and became one of the most influential leadership voices in the world. But here's what you might not know: he never had a five-year plan, turned down opportunities to scale, and prioritized loving his work over maximizing revenue. In this episode, Pat shares the behind-the-scenes story of building The Table Group, why he kept his team at just 15 full-time employees while empowering thousands of consultants, and how saying no to growth actually gave him an unfair competitive advantage. You'll discover why his wife gave him their house fund to start the business, how he protects time with his family despite constant opportunities, and why one of their core values is "we want to love coming to work every day."

The question is not if you will ever feel burned out as a homeschool mom, it's when. And this time of the year tends to be a common time for moms to feel like this. There are a few factors that contribute to burnout and the key to overcoming it, so you can stay in the game with homeschool, is to recognize the signs, get to the root cause, and create a reasonable solution. Burnout should not lead to shame. Rather, it should bring us to our knees so that you can surrender the day and your homeschool to Jesus. All is not lost. What if He has a greater plan for you that is on the other side of the burnout feeling? Let's be honest with one another, pray more, and lean in through this process...together. ♥ Leigh   DESIGN YOUR FAMILY'S UNIQUE HOMESCHOOL THAT YOU'LL LOVE! https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/blueprint   CREATE YOUR HOMESCHOOL FAMILY'S HOME TASK SYSTEM https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com/tidyhome    GET EXCLUSIVE MENTORSHIP WITH LEIGH https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/mentorship   SIMPLIFY YOUR MEAL PLANNING https://littlebylittlehomeschool.com/meal     Website -  https://www.littlebylittlehomeschool.com Newsletter -  https://littlebylittlehomeschool.myflodesk.com/subscribe Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/ Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/littlebylittlehomeschool/     Listen to these related episodes: 172. 5 Ways to Help Instill Faith in Your Homeschool Child and Why It Is Worth the Time    366. 4 Controversial Things We Did In Our Parenting    426.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel you're giving everything to your agency and only getting exhaustion as a result? Agencies grow best when they're built around clarity, empathy, and self-awareness. Whether it's pricing, boundaries, team management, or AI, the common thread is intention. Today's featured guest understands that you don't need to hustle harder. You need to design smarter, around who you are, how you work best, and what kind of business you actually want to run. She'll share her perspective on agency growth, self-awareness, leadership, and how AI should actually be used inside a modern agency and provide a real look at what it takes to build an agency that's profitable, human, and sustainable without losing yourself in the process. Ingrid Schneider is the CEO and founder of Stay in Your Lane, a fractional CMO and franchise development agency, and Train in Your Lane, an AI education company helping teams build real AI intuition. What started as fractional work after being laid off during the pandemic has grown into a 16-person team running full marketing departments, launching brands, building LMS platforms, and training companies like Ben & Jerry's and Ace Hardware on how to actually use AI to solve problems. In this episode, we'll discuss: Going from survival mode to self-worth: pricing and confidence. How to set boundaries and protect your brain. Design an agency that energizes you, not drains you. Managing people, not just performance with a human-first approach.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. Building an Agency on Trust and Integrity Ingrid doesn't come from a tidy, linear career path. After being laid off as a CMO during the pandemic, she made the decision to not work for anyone else again. She started doing fractional CMO work to replace her salary, focusing on trust, authenticity, and doing the work well. What began as a solo operation three and a half years ago is now a full team serving a wide range of clients. Some rely on Ingrid's team to run their entire marketing department. Others bring them in for focused, fractional engagements. The growth didn't come from aggressive sales tactics—it came from being reliable, human, and honest about what they were good at. Learning Your Worth and Unlearning Survival Mode When Ingrid landed her first client, she charged $3,000 a month for two brands. And that client still complained about pricing. Like many agency owners, she was focused on replacing her salary, not building a business. Survival mode has a way of shrinking your sense of value. Learning her worth didn't come from a pricing spreadsheet. It came from personal work deconstructing old beliefs, recognizing her own capabilities, and understanding the impact she could have on others. Ingrid talks openly about how her upbringing and past experiences shaped her tendency to underprice herself and overextend. As her confidence grew, so did her standards. She began collecting people with grit, sometimes hiring for attitude over experience, and building a team she trusted deeply. The biggest lesson for her was: if you don't believe in your value, your pricing, and your agency, will reflect that. Preventing Agency Burnout: How to Set Boundaries Running a business can be incredibly stressful, which is why many owners can relate to being in fight or fly mode all the time. However, this is the worst thing for both your health and your business because chronic stress will affect your brain and get you to a point known as "flipping your lid." According to Ingrid, this term, which she learned from Dr. Daniel Siegel, describes what happens when stress pushes you into fight, flight, or freeze. Logic goes offline. Creativity disappears and everything feels harder. For agency owners, this shows up as exhaustion, impatience, and bad decisions, and healing will mean confronting the reality that you can't run a business well if your body and brain are in survival mode. In her case, Ingrid found healing by emphasizing boundaries as a leadership responsibility. Knowing where your value is best served, trusting your team, and recognizing when their lids are flipped allows you to lead with empathy instead of pressure. The agency doesn't need a burned-out hero. It needs a regulated, self-aware leader. Designing an Agency That Energizes You, Not Drains You This is a lesson that agency owners that currently feel miserable with their business and wanting to give up should learn. Drawing your boundaries will look different to everyone, but you can start by asking yourself what you want to do every day and what you never want to do again. Just draw a circle on a piece of paper and start writing. Inside: the work that gives you energy. Outside: everything that drains you. You'll see that most likely what you need is to redesign your agency around this. You can't be all things to all people. Agency that try usually end up miserable and unprofitable. Wins and losses both matter, but only if you're paying attention to what they're teaching you. Topline revenue means nothing if you hate how you're earning it. Sustainable growth comes from aligning what's good for the business with what actually fills your cup. That alignment is what keeps agencies alive long-term. Managing People, Not Just Performance with a Human-First Approach As an empath, Ingrid leads with a people-first approach rooted in Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI). When something goes wrong, she looks at three things in order: herself, the system, and then the person. Are expectations clear? Do they have the resources they need? Is she showing up with patience? Perfectionism isn't the goal in her agency because perfection is stressful, unrealistic, and unnecessary. Instead, the focus is on doing really good work while protecting the team's mental energy. This is where AI comes in, not as a shortcut for thinking, but as a way to remove the minutia that burns people out. This has been the case for Ingrid, who enjoys managing people. If this is not your case, then focus on hiring people who can manage themselves. But remember you have to learn to let go if you want a self-managing team. There are countless ways to reach the same outcome and speed isn't always the metric that matters most. Sometimes the "slow" work produces the best results. Using AI to Empower Teams, Not Create More Noise Ingrid's approach focuses on education and the fact that everyone should be training their AI intuition to be able to understand how an AI tool works and how it could help them. She trained her own intuition by changing her social media algorithms to feed her AI micro-learnings. From there, it became about application: looking at every agency task and asking, Can AI help solve this better? Her team runs weekly "show and tell" sessions where they demo how they used AI to solve real problems. There's also an AI policy but it's framed as a permission slip, not a rulebook. Team members can experiment with tools on a company card, and if they prove value, the agency commits. The bigger point is this: if you're not empowering your team to use AI thoughtfully, you're holding them back. This isn't about pumping out more content—it's about freeing up human brains to do the work that actually matters. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Relationships can feel disorienting when roles shift and old patterns loosen. This episode sits with relational strain, uncertainty, and quiet fear — not as failure, but as an identity-level reorganization happening inside closeness.What happens when a relationship feels lighter — but also more uncertain?When roles loosen, effort drops, and clarity returns, many high-capacity humans don't feel relief right away. They feel exposed. The questions that surface aren't about communication skills or fixing the relationship. They're about identity, belonging, and safety inside closeness.This episode is intentionally different.Instead of teaching or resolving, we slow down and stay with the real, lived questions that emerge when relationships recalibrate — especially for people who have long carried responsibility, emotional labor, and steadiness for others.In this extended Saturday episode, we gently walk through the questions that clients, friends, and leaders most often ask — sometimes out loud, often silently — as identity shifts inside relationship:“If I stop playing this role… will I still be chosen?”“If I stop over-carrying — if I stop holding the emotional center — what is my place in this relationship now?”“Who am I to us if I'm not the one stabilizing everything?”“If things feel lighter in this relationship… am I allowed to enjoy that without waiting for the other shoe to drop?”“If I relax into this ease, am I being naive about what could happen next?”“What if my partner doesn't meet me here?”“What if mutuality doesn't appear right away?”“What if my partner doesn't change?”“How long does this feel awkward before it feels natural?”“How do I stay present in this relationship without compensating?”These questions aren't signs that something is wrong. They are evidence that identity is reorganizing faster than relational patterns — and that the nervous system is learning how to stay present without bracing, performing, or disappearing.Drawing from years of coaching high-capacity humans, lived relational experience, and the Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) pathway, this episode offers orientation rather than answers. We protect slowness. We honor grief for roles that once protected something real. We resist premature resolution. And we let the body feel what the mind is tempted to manage.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Welcome to episode 316 of Grow Your Law Firm. In this episode, Ken is joined by Allison Williams, a longtime practicing attorney turned law firm growth coach and founder of Law Firm Mentor. Allison shares her personal journey from burnout and near disaster to building multiple seven-figure businesses by systematizing every part of her firm and eliminating what she calls "crushing chaos." The conversation explores why being a great lawyer has little to do with being great at running a business, how lack of systems keeps firms stuck in overwhelm, and why working harder is often the worst possible strategy. Allison and Ken dig into practical, realistic ways law firm owners can regain control of their time, improve profitability, and build firms that support both professional success and personal life. The discussion also tackles AI's growing role in law firms, where it adds leverage, where it creates risk, and how it can dramatically reduce training time and operational costs when used correctly. What you'll learn in this episode:   From Burnout to Breakthrough - Why hustle and long hours eventually fail law firm owners - How a single wake-up call led to building scalable systems Systematizing Without Overwhelm - A simple method to get processes out of your head and onto paper - Why improving systems by 10–15% beats starting from scratch Diagnosing the Real Source of Chaos - Identifying whether marketing, people, or operations cause the most pain - Focusing first on the problems that cost the most time and money Using AI to Create Leverage, Not Liability - Where AI boosts efficiency in training, workflows, and documentation - Why AI must be used carefully in legal work and decision-making Pricing, Profitability, and Long-Term Stability - How raising prices can improve client quality and firm performance - Designing solutions that reduce today's stress and prevent future burnout Resources: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/allisoncwilliams LinkedIn: linkedin.com/company/law-firm-mentor-llc Facebook: facebook.com/LawFirmMentor Additional Resources:    https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind https://calendly.com/jenna-pilmma/strategy-session-with-pilmma AI for PI Expo:   www.pilmma.org/ai-for-pi-expo

Frank and Stacey break down the critical difference between goals and purpose, why confusing the two leads to burnout, and how advisors who reconnect to their “why” build stronger client relationships, make better transition decisions, and enjoy their careers longer. Key questions answered in this episode: What is the difference between a financial advisor's goals and their purpose? Goals define outcomes; purpose defines motivation. Advisors who mistake goals for purpose often feel lost after achieving success. Why do advisors feel unfulfilled after hitting major milestones? Reaching AUM targets, exit valuations, or retirement dates doesn't replace the deeper fulfillment that comes from meaningful client impact. How does purpose improve advisor-client relationships? Advisors who understand a client's underlying purpose - not just financial objectives - build deeper trust and longer-lasting relationships. Why do many advisors think they want to retire when they really want a better environment? Burnout is often driven by firm constraints, not a loss of passion for clients. What conversations should advisors be having with clients that most never do? Purpose-driven conversations lead to better outcomes for both advisors and clients. If you're a financial advisor questioning your next move, feeling disconnected from your work, or considering a transition, this episode provides a framework to rethink success - and reconnect with why you started in the first place. For many advisors, rediscovering purpose is also what clarifies whether a firm transition is necessary - or whether the real issue is the environment they're in.

In this Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm sharing a spontaneous trail-side reflection on something that's been very present for me lately: how we manage drive without burning out and how we stay truly connected in a world that keeps telling us to “go bigger.”I talk about rethinking social media impact, why I'm increasingly prioritizing local and real-time connection, and how and asking better questions can completely change the quality of our relationships. I also share some simple practices I've been using, like voice memos and short phone calls, to stay meaningfully connected without adding more pressure or noise.Synchronous, human connection matters so much for feeling valued. That's why I wanted to explore how curiosity helps us move beyond surface-level interaction, and why small, intentional shifts can have a bigger impact than trying to reach everyone, everywhere.I close with a short mindfulness practice you can do anywhere to help you reconnect with your body, reflect on when you feel most connected to others, and take one small step toward more meaningful connection in your everyday life.You'll learn to:Ground into your body, even while in motionReflect on when you feel most connected to othersIdentify one small step you can take to create deeper, more meaningful connection offlineOther meditations:– Slowing Down the Rush– How to Regulate Your Emotions for Resilience and Performance– How to Combat Self-Criticism--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.

Many successful female founders and entrepreneurs are exhausted by planners, productivity advice, and the pressure to always do more, yet they still feel behind when it comes to time management. This episode of Dear FoundHer from the Forum slows that conversation down and asks why time feels so hard, even for capable, motivated women.Jill Beck, founder of Just Go Long and an accountability coach for women over 40, joins the discussion to talk about what she sees again and again in her work. The problem usually isn't a lack of effort or the wrong system. It's the absence of accountability in the middle of real life. Jill shares how she supports women through text-based accountability that fits into busy days rather than adding more to them.The conversation covers burnout, boundaries, confidence, and why it's so hard to follow through when your plate is already full. Jill also shares how her business came together in a very unflashy way, built on trust, referrals, and showing up consistently rather than chasing attention or growth trends.Episode Breakdown:00:00 Why Productivity Systems Fail Without Accountability02:27 Text-Based Accountability Coaching for Women Over 4005:29 Burnout, Health, and Sustainable Time Management06:48 The Time Pie Chart That Forces Real Tradeoffs10:12 Visibility, Confidence, and Letting Go of Follower Obsession16:04 Growing a Coaching Business Through Email and Referrals23:24 What's Next for Just Go Long and Corporate Time OverloadConnect with Jill Beck:Follow Jill on InstagramConnect with Jill on LinkedInSubscribe to The FoundHer Files Follow Dear FoundHer... on InstagramPodcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm Hosted on Acast.

At the best of times, alcohol makes us feel great — relaxed and gregarious, warm and fuzzy, happy and confident. But at the worst of times, it can morph into a serious problem, damaging our relationships, our health, and our lives as a whole.As we close out Dry January, a popular movement to abstain from drinking for a month, we explore our relationship with alcohol. Why we consume it, how it affects us, and when it's time to quit.We talk with surgeon and recovering alcoholic Charles Knowles about how booze affects our brains and health, and what finally pushed him to go sober for good; we hear about a trend known as “California sober,” and why so many people are embracing it; and we find out how zero-proof cocktail bars are helping some people socialize while sober. Charles Knowles was barely a teen when he discovered the power of alcohol to transform him from a shy outsider into the life of the party. But as he got older, and sank deeper into drinking, alcohol stopped being fun — and started affecting his health and his life. We talk with Knowles,  a surgeon and physician, about what makes some people more vulnerable to problematic drinking, how alcohol affects our brains, and how his life changed once he stopped drinking. Knowles' new book is “Why We Drink Too Much: The Impact of Alcohol on Our Bodies and Culture.” For a lot of former drinkers, "sobriety" means total abstinence — no alcohol, or any other substances that produce a similar buzz. But recently, a new, more permissive version of sobriety has been gaining popularity: "California sober." It involves embracing cannabis and psychedelics as a means of avoiding alcohol and hard drugs. Reporter Andrew Stelzer tracks the origins of this phenomenon, why some people find it helpful, and what researchers have to say about it.. One of the hardest parts about sobriety for a lot of people is dealing with the social impact. Not only is alcohol a social lubricant — it's often at the center of social events themselves. But recently, some entrepreneurs have been creating alternatives in the form of zero-proof cocktail bars. Pulse reporter Alan Yu visits Philadelphia's Bar Palmina to find out who goes there, and why.

Together, Dionne and Michelle explore the tension between discipline and play, productivity and rest, and how honoring your own rhythms can lead to more meaningful, sustainable creativity. Michelle reflects on decades of creative entrepreneurship, teaching, and fine art, offering wisdom on staying curious, embracing imperfection, and continuing to grow—even when motivation feels distant. This episode is a reminder that creativity doesn't have to be forced; it can be shaped gently, intentionally, and with joy.

Send us a textIf you're the one everyone turns to, you might be carrying more than you realize. We sit down with psychotherapist and mental wellness consultant Leah Marone to unpack the “serial fixer” habit—why it thrives in first responder culture and how it quietly fuels burnout, resentment, and frayed relationships. Leah works extensively with police, fire, EMS, and dispatch, and she brings sharp, compassionate insights you can use today without adding hours to your schedule.We break down the real difference between therapy and consulting, then rebuild the foundation of wellness with small, sustainable practices: bookending your mornings and nights, using micro resets during daily transitions, and reclaiming self-care as single-task presence instead of numbing or multitasking. Leah introduces a practical rule that changes conversations fast—support, don't solve—along with validation skills that help teammates, partners, and kids think more clearly and take ownership. You'll hear how the fixer impulse can become “compassion as control,” why quick advice often backfires, and how to replace that urge with grounded presence.Expect concrete tools and memorable metaphors. The internal “balloon” lets you notice pressure before it pops, and that shaken “soda bottle” reminds you to release slowly, not explode. We also cover sleep hygiene as the no‑nonsense cornerstone of recovery, data collection to challenge “dark cloud” thinking, and first responder-ready ways to downshift from high gear without losing your edge. If you want stronger boundaries, steadier energy, and deeper connection, this conversation will help you change your default settings.To reach Leah, here is the link to her work: https://linktr.ee/leahmaronelcswIf this resonates, tap follow, share it with a teammate who needs lighter armor, and leave a quick review so more first responders can find these tools.
