High performers often fear peace will cost them their edge. In this episode, Julie Holly reframes wholeness as a strategic advantage — showing how identity coherence increases clarity, execution, and sustainable effectiveness.What if wholeness didn't slow you down — but actually made you more effective?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly addresses the quiet resistance many high-capacity humans feel when the conversation turns toward peace, integration, or inner alignment. Beneath performance pressure and decision fatigue is often an unspoken fear:If I stop fragmenting myself… will I lose what's made me effective?This episode dismantles that fear and reframes wholeness as a strategic upgrade — not a personal softening.In this episode, you'll explore:Why performance pressure often comes from identity fragmentation, not workloadHow role confusion and constant self-management quietly drain energyThe hidden cost of success without fulfillmentWhy fragmentation is inefficient — even when it looks like strengthHow peace reduces internal friction and sharpens executionWhy effectiveness improves when identity becomes coherentPsychology + Nervous System InsightJulie draws on psychology and nervous system integration to explain:How identity-based motivation becomes cleaner when you're one person across rolesWhy internal division increases cognitive, emotional, and identity loadHow wholeness removes background effort — freeing capacity without disengagingThis is not burnout caused by failure.It's fatigue caused by misalignment.A Living Example of Integrated ExcellenceJulie points to Denzel Washington as an example of drive without internal division.

What if the problem isn't medicine — but the way your career is structured right now?In this episode, Tracy sits down with Annie Wildermuth, PA, leadership consultant, and ICF-certified coach, for a thoughtful, grounded conversation about career pivots, burnout, and how clinicians can make intentional changes without blowing up their lives.Annie shares her own non-linear career journey — from emergency medicine to academia, medical education, leadership development, and coaching — and explains why so many clinicians feel stuck when the “traditional” career path no longer fits. Together, Tracy and Annie unpack why waiting until you're in crisis to think about career strategy is so common — and how much easier it is to make aligned decisions when you plan ahead.They explore one of the biggest myths in medicine: that non-clinical work is automatically the solution to burnout. Annie offers a refreshingly honest take on whether the grass is really greener, what she misses about patient care, and why values — not job titles — should drive career decisions.You'll also hear practical guidance on how to: • Identify whether your burnout is about workload, values misalignment, or lack of purpose • Decide if leadership opportunities are worth building where you are — or if it's time to move on • Make smaller, sustainable changes inside your current role before pursuing a big pivot • Navigate the fear of learning something new (yes, even an entirely new specialty) • Take career transitions one manageable step at a time — without paralysis or perfectionismAnnie introduces a powerful framework from Drive — autonomy, mastery, and purpose — and explains how even small shifts in these areas can dramatically improve fulfillment at work. Tracy adds real-world examples from her own coaching clients and personal experience, including why “working less” alone rarely cures burnout.The episode closes with a reminder clinicians need to hear: you don't need to have everything figured out. Careers evolve. Values change. And choosing a new direction doesn't mean your previous path was wrong — just that you've grown.If you've been wondering whether it's time for a change, this conversation will help you slow down, get clear, and move forward with intention — instead of panic.

Why Does Success Feel So Hard (When You're Good at Your Job)? You're successful. You're respected. So why does work feel heavier, more exhausting, and less fulfilling than it should? Burnout in capable professionals rarely comes from failure. It comes from years of being the person who steps in, figures it out, and carries more than their share. In this episode, Blake explores why high performers feel exhausted even when they're doing everything "right". You'll hear why common fixes like rest, boundaries, or a new role rarely create lasting change, and you'll learn what actually does.   Episode Highlights When Success Starts Feeling Heavy [01:00] - A client who did everything right but felt exhausted [02:15] - "I keep over-giving and I don't know how to stop" [03:20] - When caring deeply still leaves you drained How Being Capable Becomes Costly [04:10] - The ability that made you successful started costing you [05:30] - When success strategies quietly turn into stress patterns Why Change Doesn't Stick [06:45] - Changing environments but finding the same cycles [08:20] - Root patterns driven by the subconscious What Actually Creates Sustainable Success [09:45] - How to change the patterns keeping you stuck [10:50] - Success doesn't have to require self-sacrifice Powerful Quotes "This isn't the kind of burnout where you hate your job.

Episode Summary: Emotional Exhaustion and holiday burnout are very real experiences. Today we’re going to be talking about the post-holiday aftermath that many of us feel for a myriad of reasons. We are going to cover expectations—unmet and unspoken; the subsequent disappointment which follows and the straight up exhaustion of making Christmas happen for our loved ones. If we don’t pause for a moment following the holidays, we rush headlong into the long winter months with unresolved sadness, which impacts our mental and emotional well-being, making those January blues stronger. Our goal today is to equip you with space to process what happened or didn’t happen, reminders that you are not alone, and practical hope-filled tools to apply to the post-holiday aftermath you may be experiencing. Quotables from the episode: The living room is scattered with wrapping paper, ornaments are askew on the tree, and a fine layer of dust covers everything. Family has wandered off to pursue individual pursuits and you’re sitting alone. You did it. You curated gifts based on personal interests and desires. You planned special meals and made the once-a-year Christmas treats. But now the exhaustion sets in. You wonder if your family appreciates your effort, and you question whether it’s worth it. Crawling into bed and skipping the big family get together later that day sounds great. Instead, you pull yourself up and put another foot in front of the other. “Do the next thing,” you whisper, but wonder if you actually can. Today we are talking about How to Heal from Emotional Burnout and Holiday Exhaustion. Emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion is a real experience that many of us deal with. It can start as early as October or November and lingers into January. I love the reminders in Psalm 46 to be still, but it can be so hard to do. But when I keep reading, I see that knowing God and bringing him glory helps me frame being still inside the comforting knowledge that God is with me through it all. It’s the “all” that trips us up during the holidays. How do we determine how much or how little to do? How do we manage our expectations within the framework of stillness wrapped in God’s presence? One of the contributing factors in emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout comes from a motive to serve others and to create a special experience for them. It’s a good and noble desire to do this. The gift of hospitality, even to our own families, is a special way to show them God’s love. That’s where my desire comes from: I want to show my family love by doing for them. But when we neglect the best thing, we find ourselves running through the holidays in our own strength, which creates emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion. I love the sisters, Mary and Martha, found in Luke 10:38-42. These two women show us how to both serve and be still. I’ve never liked how Martha is shown as wrong and Mary as right. If we take the time to read what Jesus said, we learn there is a good way and a better way. Martha had good motives in serving Jesus and the other guests. In the context of healing from holiday exhaustion and emotional burnout, the desire to create a beautiful holiday experience is a good desire. Martha’s mistake was her unspoken expectation that her sister should be helping her create this amazing experience for the Lord. However, Mary spent her time listening at the feet of Jesus. While it looked like she was doing nothing, she shows us how being still is an active response. Spending time with Jesus is a better desire. It changes us from the inside out. Let’s explore how to hold both the good and the better in the same space and time. I’ve always had mixed feelings when it comes to the account of Mary and Martha. I want to be a Mary, but I definitely relate to Martha’s personally as a get-it-done kind of person. I can’t tell you how often I hear “I don’t know how you do all you do!” And in transparency, for many years, I wore that as a badge of honor, until doing became my downfall. One thing that has always stood out to me in the account of these two sisters is when Scripture says But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. It’s not that what Martha was doing was bad…it just wasn’t the best thing. It’s so easy to set aside our private, personal time with Jesus during the crazy, busy holiday season, and embarrassingly, I have succumbed to that at times. But what you’re saying is that healing from emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion starts with being still with Jesus. It’s within the stillness with Jesus where we can be refreshed and guided for our next thing. We can ask the Holy Spirit to show us where we may have expectations that could lead to disappointment. I must continually remind myself that life is not a movie script, with perfectly plotted responses. There is no call for “Cut!” or “Go again.” Our family members deal with their own internal angsts, expectations, and disappointments, which clash with ours. If we start the day with Jesus and invite him into every part of our day, we can hold the good with the better and reveal both a Martha and a Mary side to our families and ourselves. Unmet expectations (of others and ourselves) can contribute to emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, so we have to be intentional when we want to change course. Addressing expectations by making time with Jesus a priority during the holiday season is vital, but let’s turn our attention to some practical steps. One step we can do post-holiday is to ask our families what traditions or activities are important to them. We may be doing all the things, but maybe we don’t need too. Taking the time to talk about expectations, and adjusting them going forward both helps to heal, and create self-guards going forward. A second aspect that crucial for our healing from emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout is to Create space in your life to rest and recover. There’s no universal required day to take down the decorations and return the gift bags to their storage space. Lay on the couch post-Christmas and New Years. Turn off the lamps and turn on the Christmas lights. Take time to rejoice in Jesus coming to earth for you. Contemplate God with us. Be still and know he is God. Depending on how depleted, fatigued, or burned out you may feel, I would add to that to create a “recovery zone”. Pick a short window every day, even if only 10-20 minutes, where you intentionally do nothing that requires output. Instead, sit with a cozy drink, listen to calm music, step outside for a breath of fresh air. This sends your nervous system the message: “I am safe. I can rest.” The fourth suggestion we have for how to heal from emotional exhaustion and holiday burnout is where we can learn from Mary. I’d suggest a brief post-holiday evaluation can be very helpful by answering two questions. First, What wore you out? Second, What gave you life? Taking the time for a post-holiday evaluation helps heal from emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion because self-reflection helps our brain release what is internally keeping our mind in a state of stress, and is a way to prepare and protect your mental and emotional strength for the next year. This is where we realize where we may have lost sight of “God with us.” It’s easy to keep saying yes and to add more. Some years we have the capacity for a lot and other years we need to scale back. Three of my kids have birthdays in November, January, and February. Reserving energy for their births changed how I did Christmas, from the décor to the gifts to the food. And I discovered an important truth—it’s not so much what we do that makes Christmas special but the who. Who we are with and who we focus on. A fifth tip, which is really important, is to Replenish What Was Depleted. To do this, I would add a third question to the self-evaluation, and that is to ask yourself What did the holidays season drain the most? If it was sleep, commit to earlier nights for a week or two. If it was social energy, block out quiet evenings. If it was finances, enact a low-spend month or two. If it was emotions, journal what you carried and release it to God. We know that the level of emotional exhaustion or holiday burnout is different for everyone, and some years are worse than others, but with a shift in our perspective, a bit of self-reflection, communicating with our family, creating space to rest and recover, and intentionally replenishing what was depleted, we can experience healing from emotional burnout and holiday exhaustion. Scripture References: Psalm 46:11-12 “He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth. The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” Luke 10:38-42 “As Jesus and his disciples were on their way, he came to a village where a woman named Martha opened her home to him. She had a sister called Mary, who sat at the Lord’s feet listening to what he said. But Martha was distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. She came to him and asked, “Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to do the work by myself? Tell her to help me!”41 “Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, 42 but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Recommended Resources: Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner AWSA 2024 Golden Scroll Christian Living Book of the Year and the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Christian Living and Non-Fiction categories YouVersion 5-Day Devotional Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, AWSA Member of the Year, winner of the AWSA 2023 Inspirational Gift Book of the Year Award, the 2024 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in the Devotional category, the 2023 Christian Literary Awards Reader’s Choice Award in four categories, and the Christian Literary Awards Henri Award for Devotionals YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 1 YouVersion Devotional, Today is Going to be a Good Day version 2 Revive & Thrive Women’s Online Conference Revive & Thrive Summit 2 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 1 Trusting God through Cancer Summit 2 Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson, winner of the AWSA 2020 Best Christian Living Book First Place, the first place winner for the Best Christian Living Book, the 2020 Carolina Christian Writer’s Conference Contest winner for nonfiction, and winner of the 2021 Christian Literary Award’s Reader’s Choice Award in all four categories for which it was nominated (Non-Fiction Victorious Living, Christian Living Day By Day, Inspirational Breaking Free and Testimonial Justified by Grace categories.)

You are never wrong for being worried about your child. You are allowed to ask questions, ask for help, and ask for another set of eyes. Advocacy is not confrontation, it is care. And the doctors caring for your family are human too, carrying both expertise and emotion into every room they enter. In this episode, I sit down with pediatric ER physician and creator Dr. Beachgem for a wide-ranging, honest conversation about what families often misunderstand about emergency care, how to advocate for yourself and your child in the hospital, and what it really looks like to practice medicine on both sides of the stretcher. And yes, we also talk about The Pitt, why it resonates so deeply with healthcare workers, and why humanizing medicine matters more than ever. We discuss: • What pediatric ER doctors really want parents to know before walking into the ER • Why waiting in the ER does not mean no one cares • How and when to advocate for a second opinion in the hospital • What “Condition H” or rapid response means for patients and families • How social media has changed how doctors listen to patients • Why ER doctors often see risk differently than outpatient pediatricians • Common injuries ER doctors wish families understood better • The emotional toll of emergency medicine and how clinicians cope • Why humanizing doctors matters for the future of healthcare • What gives hope in a system that feels broken To connect with Dr. Beachgem follow her on Instagram @dr.beachgem10 and check out all her resources at linktr.ee/beachgem10  00:00 – The emotional weight ER doctors carry01:00 – Why this episode, and why The Pitt hits so hard02:40 – What medical dramas get right (and wrong) about the ER03:45 – Meet Dr. Beachgem, training, career, and why she creates content07:30 – Burnout, misinformation, and why showing up online matters09:20 – Advocacy as a patient, when speaking up saves lives12:50 – Condition H and how to ask for a second opinion in the hospital14:05 – What parents often misunderstand about ER wait times16:15 – Triage explained, why waiting doesn't mean no one cares18:15 – Risk colored glasses, injuries ER doctors never forget22:00 – Trampolines, e-bikes, helmets, and real-world safety patterns26:10 – Why The Pitt humanizes medicine better than most shows31:00 – COVID flashbacks, grief, and emotional survival in the ER36:35 – Coping with loss, compartmentalization, and burnout43:30 – What gives ER doctors hope, and a message for parents Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

High performers often feel drained even when life is working. In this episode, Julie Holly explains why always being “on” exhausts your nervous system — and how identity-level recalibration restores energy without disengaging from leadership.Why do high performers feel tired even when nothing is technically wrong?In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores the hidden cost of always being “on” — a state that often looks like strength, leadership, and responsibility, but quietly drains capacity over time.Many high-capacity humans experience a unique kind of exhaustion that doesn't come from overwork alone. It shows up as decision fatigue, role confusion, success without fulfillment, and a persistent sense of being depleted despite competence and momentum. This episode names what's happening beneath the surface: vigilance — a nervous system state designed for short bursts of readiness that has quietly become a way of life.Julie unpacks the science behind vigilance and explains how three invisible loads stack over time:cognitive load from constant decision-makingemotional load from holding others and managing impactidentity load from sustaining the version of yourself that keeps everything workingThis isn't burnout caused by failure or weakness. It's fatigue caused by adaptation.The episode also highlights Rosalind Brewer as a living example of calm authority in high-pressure environments. Her leadership demonstrates that presence and regulation do not dilute power — they stabilize it.Throughout the conversation, Julie differentiates Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) from mindset tactics, productivity hacks, or surface-level rest strategies. ILR doesn't ask you to disengage or do less. It works at the root — recalibrating identity so the nervous system no longer relies on tension to maintain effectiveness. This is the recalibration that makes every other tool work again.If you've ever felt capable and depleted at the same time…If success feels heavier than it should…If you're longing for relief without losing your edge…This episode offers clarity, permission, and a path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhere am I staying “on” because it's familiar — not because it's required? No fixing.

Burnout doesn't usually come from caring too much. It comes from carrying too much for too long. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about trauma-informed leadership, nervous system overload, and how nonprofit leaders can respond to stress with clarity instead of reactivity. We unpack how to spot burnout early, set real boundaries, and build cultures of care that support both your people and your mission without pretending yoga fixes everything.

Her work bridges theory and practice—offering evidence-informed strategies that honor human limits while advancing organizational impact.   Drawing on her background in nursing leadership, curriculum design, and frontline experience in high-acuity environments, she equips leaders to recognize signs of nervous-system overload—in themselves and their teams—and to respond with clarity rather than reactivity. Her approach emphasizes that sustainable leadership begins with psychological safety, nervous-system regulation, and realistic boundaries at every level of the organization.   Through keynotes, workshops, and coaching, Dr. Gray teaches that caring for the caregivers is not a luxury—it is a strategic imperative for retention, innovation, and long-term mission success. During the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership Podcast, Dr. Gray will share actionable insights on: Leading on Fumes: Recognizing early warning signs of burnout and practical first steps to reverse the trend. Cultures of Care: How to embed trauma-informed principles into communication, supervision, and organizational norms.   Regulated Leadership: Simple, science-backed regulation tools that help leaders hold space for others without sacrificing their own well-being.   Connect with Dr. Melanie: https://www.facebook.com/melanie.gray.550422 https://www.instagram.com/drmelaniewellnesscoach/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577286124894 https://x.com/MelanietheRN https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmelaniegray/ www.DrMelanieGrayTheConfidenceCoach.com Sponsored Resource Join the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership Newsletter for weekly tips and inspiration for leading your nonprofit!

In "From Burnout To Freedom With Small Teams And Seller Financing," Jenn & Joe Delle Fave share how they transformed their real estate journey from burnout and oversized operations into a lean, profitable creative finance business focused on freedom, family, and great terms. They break down Jen's transition from teaching to full-time investing, Joe's shift into creative finance after being capped by banks, the $100-down 0% interest deal that changed everything, and why they chose fewer, bigger, higher-quality deals over high-volume chaos. They also reveal how they structure seller finance terms, work remotely while traveling, avoid risky flips and thin wholesale fees, navigate today's high-rate market, and use masterminds and mentorship to accelerate results—all while building a business designed to support their life, not the other way around. _______________________________ If you want to learn how to run your business in 5 hours or less....

How can understanding neuroscience transform your decision-making and productivity? In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Cherian Koshy, author of Neuro Giving: The Science of Donor Decision Making, for a thought-provoking conversation that explores how neuroscience, decision science, and generosity shape productivity, leadership, and burnout prevention. Cherian shares how decades of work in nonprofit leadership led him to uncover the hidden neurological drivers behind trust, motivation, and decision-making. Together, Gerald and Cherian unpack why humans are not rational beings but rationalizing ones, and how understanding the brain's shortcuts can immediately improve focus, energy management, and meaningful work. The conversation dives into reframing productivity, aligning work with purpose, avoiding burnout through intentional structure, and designing environments where creativity and collaboration thrive. Cherian explains how urgency and constant stress drain the brain, why rest and downtime are essential for creativity, and how leaders can build trust-based cultures that unlock collective intelligence. This episode is a powerful reminder that productivity isn't about doing more. It's about working in harmony with how the brain actually functions.  If you're interested in learning more about how to influence and persuade or work with people based on how their brains work and not against it, this episode is a must listen.

Burnout doesn't happen because your pastor failed, your church is unhealthy, or no one stepped up to help. It happens when we believe we have no choice and keep serving under pressure instead of agency. In this episode, we talk honestly about why burnout isn't someone else's fault, why that truth can feel uncomfortable at first, and why it's also the doorway to real change. You'll hear: The stories that keep us stuck in burnout without realizing it Why waiting for leadership or circumstances to change rarely brings relief How agency creates options (even when nothing else changes)What it looks like to serve faithfully without burning yourself outJoin our free Facebook Community: www.facebook.com/groups/smallchurchministryRate, Review, & Follow Laurie on Apple Podcasts"I love Laurie and The Small Church Ministry Podcast!!"

Hi Nurse friend, This episode is MY EPIPHANY on Epiphany. This podcast is rebranding and today I will tell you why! If you are not a nurse…listen…and stick around! You will see why. Here's what you can expect from the podcast from here on out: ✨ Conversations with nursing and wellness experts ✨ Real stories of burnout, healing, and restoration ✨ Faith-based, science-backed tools you can actually use ✨ Simple, sustainable solutions to help you recover from burnout—without quitting nursing unless God leads you there ✨ Honest conversations about identity, boundaries, nervous-system care, and what it looks like to live whole inside a demanding career And if this podcast has helped you—even a little—I want to ask a few things of you:

Graphic Designer burnout is killing careers. And the industry is lying about why!Designers are crying burnout, quitting jobs, questioning their talent, and walking away from design entirely. Not because they hate graphic design. But because they've been told the wrong story about  designer burnout and they keep treating the wrong problem.Here's the part most Graphic Designers don't realize: burnout advice trains you to blame yourself instead of the industry. It convinces designers they're lazy. Weak. Undisciplined. Bad at boundaries. So they journal. Meditate. Take breaks. Then they walk right back into the same broken systems that burned them out in the first place.This week, in this solo episode of The Angry Designer Podcast, Massimo breaks down why Graphic Designer burnout is being completely misdiagnosed and why most burnout advice actually makes things worse. This is not about motivation. It is not about passion. And it is definitely not about grinding harder. It is about identifying the real causes of design burnout and calling out the industry problems nobody wants to touch.In this episode, you'll learn:- Why graphic designer burnout is not a personal failure and never was- The three types of burnout designers confuse and why that confusion keeps them stuck- How the design industry protects broken systems by pushing useless burnout adviceThis episode is not here to make you feel better. It is here to make you see clearer. Because if you keep calling this graphic designer burnout without questioning the industry behind it, you will either resent design or leave it entirely. And neither one is necessary.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

You know what's wrong — so why hasn't anything changed?Why do you keep thinking, “I'm so aware of this… shouldn't that be enough by now?”You've named the pattern a hundred times. Burnout. Overwhelm. Autopilot. You've tried fixing it (therapy, routines, tools, discipline) and somehow you still end up right back here. Knowing isn't the problem anymore. It's the part that comes after.In this episode, we sit in that frustrating gap between awareness and actual change. Not to judge it or rush past it — but to understand what's really keeping you stuck. This is about loosening the anchor underneath the pattern, not adding another thing to your to-do list.You'll be guided to reflect on:Why insight alone hasn't created the shift you expectedThe hidden belief that keeps stress and busyness feeling “safer”How solutions can fail when the root is left untouchedWhat it looks like to go beyond awareness and into real changeBy the end, you won't feel like you need to try harder or do more. You'll feel steadier, clearer, and less at war with yourself — with a new way to approach change that actually sticks.Resources Mentioned:Free Calm Mind Blueprint: http://www.samanthapenkoff.com/calm-mind-podNewsletter: www.samanthapenkoff.com/promptsWork with me:90 min Breakthrough Intensives - You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting.

Poser des limites est l'un des plus grands défis des femmes leaders. Dans cet épisode du podcast Sensées, Jenny Chammas, mastercoach certifiée et fondatrice de Coachappy, met des mots sur une posture très répandue : celle de la “bonne poire”. Cette tendance à faire passer les besoins des autres avant les siens, à éviter l'inconfort, à prendre sur soi pour que tout le monde aille bien. À travers cet épisode, vous allez comprendre pourquoi ne pas poser des limites vous coûte cher - en énergie, en reconnaissance, en argent et en impact - et comment changer de posture sans renier qui vous êtes.Être une leader “bonne poire”, c'est souvent assurer partout : au travail, à la maison, émotionnellement pour les autres. C'est ne pas dire les choses, ne pas faire les feedbacks nécessaires, accepter des retards, des débordements, des responsabilités qui ne sont pas les vôtres. C'est aussi porter la charge émotionnelle de son équipe, de sa famille, de son entourage, jusqu'à s'oublier soi-même. Jenny montre comment cette incapacité à poser des limites mène progressivement à l'épuisement, à la perte de sens et à une baisse de l'estime de soi.Dans cet épisode, vous explorez aussi l'autre posture possible : celle de la leader “bad ass”. Une leader qui reste empathique, mais qui ne se sacrifie plus. Une leader qui sait poser des limites, affirmer ses besoins, valoriser son travail et assumer ses choix sans culpabilité. Contrairement aux idées reçues, cette posture ne rend ni dure ni froide : elle permet au contraire d'exercer un leadership plus juste, plus clair et plus durable.Ce que vous saurez faire après écoute :– Identifier les situations où vous avez du mal à poser des limites.– Comprendre le lien entre people pleasing, culpabilité et manque d'estime de soi.– Mesurer le coût réel de la posture de “bonne poire” dans votre vie professionnelle et personnelle.– Développer une posture plus affirmée sans perdre votre empathie.– Faire de vos besoins une boussole légitime dans vos décisions de leader.Jenny partage également des réflexions clés sur la responsabilité émotionnelle, la peur de déplaire et l'importance de cultiver une estime de soi solide pour sortir des schémas de suradaptation. Cet épisode est une invitation à arrêter de ramasser les miettes et à prendre pleinement votre place - au travail, à la maison et dans votre vie.

If you're curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your goals, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma QuizPushing through stress works… until it doesn't.Chronic stress doesn't always show up as burnout right away. More often, it surfaces quietly through things like physical symptoms, emotional exhaustion, and a slow erosion of joy. This episode centers on how living out of alignment impacts the nervous system, the body, and long-term wellbeing, especially for high-functioning, purpose-driven people.A real world story illustrates how mental and emotional strain can accumulate beneath the surface, eventually manifesting as physical consequences that can no longer be ignored. The pattern is familiar: years of “shoulds,” pushing, and over-leveraging… followed by a moment when the body draws a hard line.This conversation is especially relevant for anyone interested in nervous system regulation, mind-body medicine, integrative health, or understanding how unresolved stress and trauma affect the body over time. Alignment isn't about perfection. It's about honesty, awareness, and choosing a path that supports both health and life.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[04:52] The hidden cost of living by “shoulds” instead of what actually feels aligned[09:14] What happens when stress and misalignment start showing up in the body[12:01] The moment making money quietly replaces fulfillment without you noticing[17:08] What changes when you stop outsourcing your intuition to experts and templates[21:36] The slow erosion of confidence that comes from not trusting yourself[27:45] The role identity confusion plays in burnout, anxiety, and feeling stuck[34:12] What real self-honesty looks like before alignment can return[39:58] Why surface-level mindset work can't resolve deeper misalignment[46:41] The warning signs of unhealthy power dynamics with coaches or gurus[52:14] The skill of taking advice without giving away your authorityFind More From Dr. Stephanie Davis:Dr. Stephanie Davis | WebsiteQuantum Rx | InstagramQuantum Rx | Skool

Burnout isn't laziness—it's a warning. This episode breaks down the hidden roots of hustle culture and why rest often feels unsafe for those raised in survival mode.

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike “C-Roc” sits down with Jenna Jozefowski for an honest, nuanced, and refreshing conversation about strength, health, and rewriting the rules of fitness. Jenna—an NASM-certified personal trainer, kettlebell coach, trauma-informed weightlifting coach, yoga and dance teacher, and former professional dancer—shares how years in the movement and wellness industry led her to question the narrow, often harmful definitions of what it means to be “healthy” and “fit.” She opens up about her own journey of burnout, disordered wellness practices, hormonal imbalance, and the wake-up call that forced her to stop running herself into the ground in pursuit of perfection. Together, Jenna and Mike "C-Roc" unpack the dangers of one-size-fits-all fitness advice, especially in the age of social media, and explore how listening to your body, embracing nuance, and building real strength—physically and mentally—can be far more empowering than chasing aesthetic ideals. From kettlebells and functional movement to curiosity, resilience, and calling out the BS in the fitness world, this episode is a powerful reminder that movement should build you up, not break you down.Website-itsjennaj.comSocial Media Links/Handles-https://www.instagram.com/itsjennaj/?hl=enhttps://pod.link/1602465342
