Podcasts about Burnout

High performance doesn't always feel urgent. If burnout recovery, decision fatigue, or success feeling empty has left you unsure what's next, this episode anchors identity beyond effort and reminds you that you are held — even in quiet seasons.This Sunday episode of The Recalibration explores Vertical Alignment — how identity is rooted beyond performance, pace, or visible progress.For many high-capacity humans, the most unsettling seasons aren't chaotic — they're quiet. When urgency fades and momentum slows, questions surface: Is anything actually happening? Am I falling behind?In this episode, Julie Holly offers a faith-rooted reframe for burnout recovery, success without fulfillment, spiritual exhaustion, and identity drift — especially when growth feels invisible.In this episode, you'll hear:Why quiet seasons often signal less resistance, not less progressHow burnout recovery can feel unfamiliar when urgency disappearsWhy high performers struggle when success no longer requires self-pressureThe difference between effort-driven momentum and identity-rooted movementA biblical pattern of identity preceding action, illustrated through Jesus (Matthew 3:17, NLT)Why ILR is not mindset work, habit stacking, or productivity reframing — but a root-level recalibration that restores identity so every other tool can finally workThis episode gently reminds listeners that belonging comes before becoming, and that alignment deepens long before it shows up externally.Today's Micro RecalibrationThere is nothing to fix or apply.Simply notice:Where did I stop pushing this week — and nothing fell apart?Let that noticing build trust.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Burnout recovery for high performers doesn't always feel intense. If success feels quieter than expected, this episode explains why calm, steady movement is often a sign of real alignment—not stagnation.This Saturday episode explores Horizontal Alignment—how your internal state shows up in real life after a quieter week of recalibration.If you're a high-capacity human navigating burnout recovery, decision fatigue, or a season where success feels less urgent than before, this episode helps you make sense of that shift without fixing or forcing anything.In this episode, you'll explore:Why quiet weeks often signal less internal resistance, not a loss of momentumHow burnout recovery can feel calm when pressure and self-override are no longer driving youThe difference between capacity and the cost you've been paying to access itWhat it looks like to relate to yourself without constant self-managementWhy ease can be a sign of maturity—not complacency or disengagementThis is not mindset work or productivity advice. It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—a root-level realignment that begins with who you are, not what you do, and allows progress to emerge without pressure.Team / Leadership Recalibration (Horizontal Alignment)If you lead others, notice this week:Where conversations felt steadierWhere decisions required less urgencyWhere trust replaced pressureHorizontal Alignment shows up when leadership no longer relies on intensity to move things forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationThere's nothing to do today. Simply notice one moment this week where you related to yourself with less force—and let that be enough.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Your MessagesFor those experiencing burnout… how I've been navigating. Truth is Australia hasn't been what I thought it would be. I mean im looking forward to the day the noise goes silent & I finally enjoy it here. Burnout can be so hard especially when there is no space safe enough to calm your nervous system. When will it end? Is this over yet? Can I breathe? Is it safe? If this hits home then this is that safe space to feel validated. You are valid ~Sirona LeonaSupport the show

Episode Description:This second installment of “From the Archive” returns to James's early, unfiltered conversation with Tim Ferriss. They unpack how to market by creating newsworthy moments (including a frigid book-launch fiasco turned lesson), how to learn anything using Tim's DISS framework (Deconstruction, Selection, Sequencing, Stakes), and why “possibility is negotiable” when you seek outliers and test assumptions. Tim explains fear-setting, slow-play networking that leads to real mentors, and the origin story of BrainQUICKEN → BodyQuick, including direct-response tactics, offline ads, and early UFC sponsorships. The through-line: run small experiments, protect your best energy, and stack skills to raise your odds.What You'll Learn:How to engineer “newsworthy” launches and recover from execution misses without losing momentum.The DISS method for rapid learning (Deconstruction, Selection, Sequencing, Stakes) you can apply to languages, poker, orFear-setting, not goal-setting: define worst-case scenarios, prevention steps, and recovery plans to make bolder moves.Mentors without asking “be my mentor”: add value first, build loose ties, and let a few relationships compound.From side-hustle to exit: repositioning, channel selection (including print/radio), and why out-of-fashion inventory can be a bargain.Timestamped Chapters:[02:20] A launch-day disaster in 10° weather—and the customer-recovery playbook.[05:00] “Possibility is negotiable” vs. the default “probable” path.[06:57] Finding mentors by learning before earning: the slow-play relationship strategy.[10:00] Optionality: the angel-investing analogy for career and mentors.[14:00] The DISS framework for learning anything.[18:50] Hunt the outliers: why “who shouldn't be good at this—but is?” unlocks technique.[24:30] Fear-setting: risk = likelihood of an irreversible negative outcome.[26:20] Micro-experiments to de-risk big transitions.[27:24] Secret origin: BrainQUICKEN → BodyQuick; from nootropics to non-stimulant pre-workout.[31:55] Repositioning, targeted niches, and early UFC placements.[33:13] Don't ignore “old” channels: print and radio as arbitrage.[33:55] Burnout, one-way ticket to London, and systems that led to a sale.[40:36] Title testing (and red herrings) in publishing.[46:16] The 4-Hour Workweek started by accident [52:14] Publishing myths: how “impossible” ideas become inevitable [01:07:58] TV vs. podcasting: control, constraints, and creative freedom [01:31:34] Investing: bet on people (the beer test + mall test) Additional Resources:Tim Ferriss — official site/podcast hub: tim.blog • The Tim Ferriss ShowThe 4-Hour Workweek (Expanded & Updated): Amazon listingThe 4-Hour Body — official site: fourhourbody.comThe 4-Hour Chef — official site: fourhourchef.comThe 4-Hour Workweek — official site: fourhourworkweek.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us a textThe calls keep coming, but the solutions don't. We sit down with crisis clinician and EMDR therapist Morgan Yaskus to trace how a frayed safety net pushes first responders into impossible roles—and how that mismatch breeds moral injury. From long drives to the nearest DMV or ER to midnight discharges with no plan, we map the structural barriers that turn compassion into exhaustion and good intentions into public criticism.Morgan shares what mobile crisis teams can do well—resolving most calls on scene, staying with families after deaths, and offering a humane handoff—and where policy still ties everyone's hands. We talk about the revolving door of brief psychiatric evaluations, the bureaucratic maze of IDs and benefits, and the social media spotlight that amplifies one bad moment over a hundred quiet saves. Small towns feel this even harder: everyone knows everyone, scanners travel fast, and rumors outrun the facts.We also get practical. Morgan explains how EMDR intensives can speed recovery from single‑incident trauma, why embedded wellness trainings reduce stigma, and how family wellness programs give spouses and kids tools to navigate shift work, hypervigilance, and communication breakdowns. The theme isn't “do more with less.” It's “build a system that holds what responders are asked to carry,” with warm handoffs, guaranteed short holds, transport support, and streamlined ID recovery to break the cycle.If you care about first responder mental health, this conversation is a map and a motivator. Listen, share with your team, and send this to someone who thinks burnout is a willpower issue. Then tap follow, leave a quick review to help others find the show, and tell us: what single policy change would make the biggest difference where you live?To contact Morgan, go to her website at www.bewildandrooted.comFreed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

Why do so many people struggle with fatigue, stubborn weight gain, hormone issues, and burnout — even when they're eating “clean” and training hard? In this episode, we break down the real reason your body isn't healing and why most health advice fails to address the root cause.Joined by Lindsay Perry, this conversation dives deep into a systems-based approach to health, exploring how the gut, liver, hormones, nervous system, sleep, and stress all work together to control energy, metabolism, and long-term results.Rather than focusing on symptoms, trends, or extreme diets, this episode explains what's happening under the hood — from ATP production and mitochondrial function to cortisol regulation, nervous system balance, and metabolic flexibility. You'll learn why pushing harder often backfires and how chronic stress quietly sabotages recovery, fat loss, and hormone health.We cover:Why gut and liver health are foundational for hormones and energyHow stress and nervous system dysregulation block healing and fat lossThe role of sleep and circadian rhythm in metabolism and recoveryWhy detoxification and elimination are biological processes — not fadsHow to fuel properly based on stress, activity, and current health stateLindsay Perry brings real-world coaching insight throughout the episode, helping connect science with practical application for people who feel stuck despite doing “everything right.”If you're tired of surface-level health advice and want a clear, root-cause explanation of how the body actually heals, this episode will change how you think about health, fitness, and recovery.00:00 – Introduction & Why Most People Aren't Healing00:41 – The “March Method” & Root-Cause Health Explained01:02 – ATP, Mitochondria & Cellular Energy Basics01:19 – Hormones, Cycles & Why Balance Matters02:44 – Detox, Elimination & Why the Body Gets Stuck04:14 – Cold Exposure, Stress Adaptation & Recovery05:50 – Stress Load, Burnout & Early Cortisol Discussion07:55 – Fueling the Body: Fat vs Carbs Explained10:57 – Sleep, Circadian Rhythm & Metabolic Health12:12 – Gut Health: The Foundation of Healing15:48 – Liver Function, Detox Pathways & Hormones18:35 – Inflammation, Energy Deficits & Fatigue21:30 – Nervous System Regulation & Chronic Stress24:35 – Cortisol, Survival Mode & Weight Loss Resistance28:10 – Why Pushing Harder Makes Things Worse32:24 – Metabolic Flexibility & Long-Term Healing34:27 – Nervous System Reset & Final Takeaways35:57 – Closing ThoughtsDisclaimer:The information discussed in this episode is for educational and informational purposes only and is not intended as medical advice.

Winning on paper but feeling cooked on the inside? Yeah… I've been there.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm breaking down what I call the Burnout Audit — five sneaky signs you're quietly burning out even if your business is growing, your calendar is full, and everyone thinks you're “crushing it.”Because here's the truth: burnout doesn't always look like a breakdown. Sometimes it looks like success… with a stressed-out nervous system.And if you've been feeling tired, disconnected, reactive, or like you can't fully enjoy the life you're building… this one is for you.Burnout is real, and it's way more common than most people want to admit. Studies show 77% of people report experiencing burnout in their job or business — and it's usually tied to exhaustion, cynicism, and reduced performance over time. Which is the opposite of what we're here to do.So here are the five signs to look for:First, you're tired even after you sleep. If rest doesn't restore you, you're not just busy… you're depleted. A simple shift that helps? Cut caffeine after noon, keep your phone out of the bedroom, and give yourself a 30-minute screen-free wind down for three nights straight. Sleep isn't a luxury — it's your competitive advantage.Second, you're achieving… but you feel nothing. If you're hitting goals but feeling numb, that's not maturity — that's emotional shutdown. Usually, it means you stopped doing the things that actually light you up. Bring back one fun thing every week. If you lose your joy, you eventually lose your edge.Third, you're always “on.” Even with your kids, you're thinking about work. Even on vacation, you're checking email. Try this: no screens the first 30 minutes and last 30 minutes of your day, and one daily offline block. If you can't unplug, you can't be fully present anywhere.Fourth, your patience is gone, and you're reactive as hell. Small problems feel massive. You snap quicker. That's not your personality — it's your nervous system begging for safety. Box breathing (4 in, hold 4, out 4, hold 4) is a fast reset you can use anytime.And fifth, your relationships are getting your leftovers. Your business gets your best, your family gets what's left. Create a “home transition” — change your outfit, change your energy, and take off the armor when you walk through the door. No amount of money can replace your presence.If any of these hit home, here's your simple reset: reduce one draining thing this week, restore one recovery habit daily, and reconnect with what matters most. Burnout isn't usually a time problem — it's an alignment problem.You don't need to burn down your business. You just need to stop burning yourself down.

High performers often equate momentum with pressure. If burnout recovery has made things feel calmer instead of urgent, this episode explains why that's not regression—it's alignment. Learn how renewed momentum works at the identity level.Momentum doesn't always feel intense.For many high-capacity humans, the most disorienting part of burnout recovery is realizing that progress no longer feels urgent.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores Renewed Momentum—the stage where forward movement begins to feel lighter, steadier, and more sustainable.In this episode, you'll learn:Why calm momentum is often mistaken for stagnation or disengagementHow burnout recovery changes your internal signal for progressWhy urgency was never proof of effectiveness—just pressure in disguiseWhat's actually happening in the nervous system when momentum feels easierHow identity alignment reduces friction, decision fatigue, and self-overrideWhy “lighter” movement often lasts longer than driven effortThis episode speaks directly to high performers navigating:burnout recovery, decision fatigue, role confusion, success without fulfillment, spiritual exhaustion, and identity drift.Julie introduces Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) as the differentiator—not another mindset tactic, but the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again. When identity is aligned, momentum no longer requires self-sacrifice.Team Recalibration (for leaders)Instead of asking “What's next?”, try asking your team: “What's already moving?” This reinforces progress without manufacturing urgency and builds trust without pressure.Today's Micro RecalibrationNotice one place this week where you moved forward without forcing it. No fixing. No optimizing. Just recognition.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Urban residents are increasingly adopting dopamine fasting as a structured way to disconnect from the constant noise of modern life. In cities like Austin, New York, and Cleveland, residents utilize this practice to seek relief from digital distraction and overstimulation. According to the sources, here is how urban residents use these techniques to address overstimulation and burnout: Intentional Breaks from High-Stimulus Activities Residents in top-ranking cities for this trend engage in intentional breaks from activities associated with instant gratification. Rather than a literal "reset" of brain chemistry, the practice is focused on reducing the frequency of dopamine spikes triggered by modern behaviors. Common strategies include: Digital Detoxes: Taking multi-day or week-long breaks from social media and video gaming to break compulsive reward-seeking loops. Dietary and Lifestyle Changes: Avoiding sugary snacks, processed foods, and alcohol as part of a broader effort to manage stimulation. Reengaging with Low-Stimulus Activities: Using the time gained to focus on nature, reading, or direct social connection, which provides deeper satisfaction than digital inputs. Combatting Burnout and Enhancing Focus Urban residents utilize these breaks specifically to combat the "constant connectivity" that leads to burnout. By stepping away from incessant stimulation, they aim to achieve several psychological benefits: Mental Clarity and Productivity: Participants report increased focus and executive function, which are essential for navigating demanding urban work environments. Emotional Regulation: The practice is linked to improved mood, reduced anxiety, and a decrease in symptoms of depression. Present-Moment Awareness: By removing digital distractions, residents find they can cultivate greater mindfulness and intentional living. Integration into Workplace Culture The trend is also being recognized as a tool for holistic wellness in professional settings. Leaders and HR professionals are encouraged to support employees in setting boundaries with technology and taking intentional breaks to support long-term well-being and build healthier workplace cultures. Expert Cautions on Implementation While many see it as a healthy practice, experts in the sources suggest that the most effective way to address burnout is through moderation and purposeful reduction rather than total deprivation. Taking the practice to extremes can lead to isolation or decreased life satisfaction; therefore, it is often recommended as a component of a balanced lifestyle rather than a rigid "fast". Analogy for Understanding: Think of dopamine fasting like letting an overheated engine idle. The goal isn't to remove the oil or fuel (the dopamine) which the engine needs to run, but rather to stop redlining the motor so it can cool down and operate efficiently again without burning out.

EP:176 In this episode, I'm getting really honest about what it actually takes to own your voice and your self-worth—especially when you've spent years people-pleasing, peacekeeping, and prioritizing everyone else's opinions over your own. I share stories from my own life—walking away from a successful business, losing my marriage, navigating my family dynamics—and how learning to trust my inner voice (even when it cost me everything I thought I wanted) became the foundation of my peace, joy, and mental health. We'll talk about: Why you stay small, doubt yourself, and fear “rocking the boat” How internalizing everything leads to anxiety, burnout, and even panic attacks Why verbalizing your emotions (with a safe person or space) is a powerful regulation tool The role of self-validation vs. chasing approval from partners, parents, or friends How small, consistent “hard conversations” slowly rewire your brain and build unshakable self-worth. My hope is that as you listen, you start to recognize where you're abandoning your own voice—and feel empowered to take one small step toward speaking your truth, even if it feels wildly uncomfortable. You are not broken. You're just not used to honoring yourself yet. If this episode hit home, I'd love to support you more deeply. Apply for Thrive or 1:1 support to start owning your voice in a sustainable, regulated way. Screenshot this episode, share it on Instagram, and tag me @brookeweinstein with your biggest takeaway. Make a list today of 3 hard truths you've been holding back—and choose one to gently practice saying out loud. You are 1000% capable of discomfort. You are 1000% capable of saying the hard thing. And you are absolutely worthy of a life that feels like yours. #ThriveLikeAParent #OwnYourVoice #SelfWorthJourney #PeoplePleasingRecovery #AnxietyHealing #EmotionalRegulation #MentalHealthPodcast #WomenWhoSpeakUp #BoundariesAreHealthy #Neuroplasticity #EnneagramGrowth #HealingFromWithin #AuthenticLiving #HonestConversations #BrookeWeinstein

Learn how B2B teams can scale creative operations, cut the busywork, and show up consistently with content that resonates. Charging by the hour? You're leaving money on the table. In this episode, host Jason Bradwell sits down with Jonathan Stark - author of Hourly Billing Is Nuts and host of the Ditching Hourly podcast - for a masterclass in pricing, positioning, and why daily publishing changed everything for his business. Jonathan breaks down why hourly billing traps experts in low-profit margins, the difference between cost-plus and actual value-based pricing, and his "scope last" principle that flips traditional consulting on its head. He also shares how publishing daily helped him build a loyal audience, deepen his expertise, and turn strangers into superfans. Whether you're a solo consultant or running a B2B service business, this conversation delivers clear, actionable frameworks to work less, charge more, and stand out. Jason and Jonathan dive straight into why hourly billing is fundamentally broken. It punishes efficiency, caps your income, and makes clients focus on time instead of outcomes. Jonathan explains the "fixed pricing trap" most consultants fall into, they think they're doing value-based pricing when they're really just doing cost-plus (estimate hours, multiply by rate, add margin). Real value-based pricing starts with understanding what success is worth to the client. The conversation shifts to Jonathan's signature principle: scope last. Instead of leading with what you'll do, lead with the outcome the client wants and price based on that value. Only after they say yes do you figure out the most efficient way to deliver it. This requires strong positioning, becoming the only choice for a specific problem, not the cheapest option among many. They explore how daily publishing transformed Jonathan's business. He's published something every single day for years, creating what he calls "asymmetric intimacy" his audience feels like they know him deeply even if they've never met. This built trust at scale and turned his owned media into a long-term growth engine that compounds over time. Jonathan shares practical newsletter tactics: the capture phase (getting people on the list), writing cadence (daily works for him), and why podcasting is like building localized celebrity. They also discuss burnout risks, how AI fits in (spoiler: it's a tool, not a replacement for thinking), and Jonathan's advice for anyone launching a podcast or daily newsletter: done is better than perfect, just start. If you're stuck in the pricing-versus-scoping cycle or charging by the hour and feeling trapped, Jonathan's frameworks will fundamentally shift how you think about your business. This isn't theory, it's battle-tested advice from someone who's helped thousands of consultants escape the hourly trap. Plus, his insights on daily publishing offer a blueprint for building trust and authority in any B2B market. 00:00 - Introduction: From developer to pricing evangelist 01:30 - Why hourly billing is broken 04:00 - The fixed pricing trap and cost-plus confusion 06:00 - What value-based pricing actually looks like 08:00 - Scope last: price outcomes, not inputs 10:00 - Positioning: become the only choice 13:00 - Daily publishing and asymmetric intimacy 16:30 - Owned media as a growth engine 20:00 - Newsletter tactics and writing cadence 23:30 - Podcasting builds localized celebrity 26:00 - Burnout, AI, and sustainability 30:00 - Advice for launching a podcast or daily list 34:00 - Done beats perfect—just start 38:00 - Final takeaways on pricing and standing out Connect with Jason Bradwell on LinkedIn Connect with Jonathan Stark on LinkedIn Visit Hourly Billing Is Nuts Visit Ditching Hourly Explore B2B Better website and the Pipe Dream podcast

In the Season 8 premiere of ABA On Call, Rick and Doug kick off the year by responding to three of the most pressing listener questions from the past season: how behavior analysts should think about punishment and ethics, how well-intended ABA can accidentally cause harm, and how the field can better address professional burnout. The conversation examines punishment through a technical, ethical, and real-world lens, emphasizing wellbeing, context, and the necessity of replacement skills rather than simple behavior suppression. The hosts then explore how skipping analytic steps, overreliance on familiar techniques, and systems-level pressures can lead to harmful outcomes despite good intentions. Finally, they turn to burnout as an organizational and relational problem, discussing supervision, workplace culture, and systemic contingencies that shape staff wellbeing. Together, these topics frame a practical, ethically grounded roadmap for doing ABA in a way that is both effective and humane.   To earn CEUs for listening, click here, log in or sign up, pay the CEU fee, + take the attendance verification to generate your certificate!

They explain how years of performance data, workout feedback, power and heart rate, and progression history now power a system that actively chooses the right workout for the day, reduces burnout, cuts down workouts that are too hard or too easy, and helps athletes recover faster from missed sessions or failures. The conversation dives into how simulations work behind the scenes, why long rides and “hidden fatigue” can quietly sabotage progress, and how features like AI Predicted Difficulty, AI Training Simulation, Dynamic Duration, and Training Approach sliders give athletes confidence that every session is worth their time. The result is training that feels consistently “just right,” adapts to real life, and helps athletes get faster with less wasted effort and fewer mistakes along the way.// RESOURCES MENTIONED- Sign up for TrainerRoad! ⁠https://trainerroad.cc/GetFaster⁠- Follow TrainerRoad on Instagram

What is up, Theology Nerds! This week I'm joined by my buddy Matthew Segall from the Footnotes to Plato Substack to announce something exciting: we're doing a joint reading group on Hartmut Rosa's new book Time and World. Rosa's a German sociologist who does big-picture thinking—like old school "let me tell you about modernity" stuff—and his work resonates deeply with process philosophy. His diagnosis? We're stuck in what he calls a frenetic standstill—exhausted, burnt out, running faster just to stay in place. I gave Matt my above-ground pool whirlpool metaphor: we're all running in circles, and if you stop, you get pulled under. Modernity promises us the good life through control—making everything available, accessible, attainable—but the cost is a mute world and the birth of monsters. Rosa's antidote isn't slowing down; it's resonance—a mode of relationship where we're genuinely touched, we respond, we're transformed, and we accept it's all gloriously uncontrollable. Process folks will eat this up: it's Whitehead's prehension, creativity, and divine persuasion in sociological clothing. The invitation? Stop. Listen. Let the world address you again. If you want to join us for the Zoom sessions this February, become a member of either Process This or Footnotes to Plato—preferably both. See you soon. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠Join us at Theology Beer Camp, October 8-10, in Kansas City! Dr. Segall is a transdisciplinary researcher and teacher who applies process philosophy to various natural and social sciences, including consciousness. He is also an Assistant Professor in the Philosophy, Cosmology, and Consciousness Program at the California Institute of Integral Studies in San Francisco, CA.

What did Herod Antipas' transformation of the "Sea of Galilee" into the commercial "Sea of Tiberias" mean for peasant fishing communities? Why did Jesus emerge from John's baptism movement proclaiming God's Rule through parables—and what made that medium so perfectly suited to that message?

Dopamine isn't just about pleasure—it's the master regulator of motivation, pain, digestion, immune function, and healing capacity. In this episode of The Health Revival Show, we break down how dopamine dysfunction shows up as burnout, chronic pain, IBS, constipation, low motivation, anxiety, and stalled healing. We explore the difference between low dopamine tone vs dopamine resistance, how chronic stress and modern life blunt reward signaling, and why gut protocols often fail when the nervous system isn't addressed. You'll learn how dopamine impacts the immune system, gut motility, inflammation, and recovery—and what actually helps restore balance, from circadian rhythm and protein intake to dopamine detox strategies and targeted support. If you've tried “everything” and still feel stuck, flat, or exhausted, this episode connects the dots you've been missing.

In this episode of Counsel Culture, Eric sits down with executive coach, author, and former corporate leader Cory Carlson for a grounded conversation about leadership, burnout, and why success at work eventually collapses when life at home is neglected. Cory reflects on a recent personal loss that renewed his sense of urgency around intentional living and clarified his mission to help leaders win at home first. Cory shares his path from civil engineer to sales executive to full-time coach, including the season when imposter syndrome and pressure at the top began to erode his health, presence, and priorities. He explains how hiring a coach reshaped not just his performance, but how he showed up as a husband, father, and leader, and why so many high performers mistake busyness for effectiveness. Eric and Cory explore why leaders can't compartmentalize their lives, how personal stress inevitably shows up at work, and why avoiding personal conversations with team members limits both trust and performance. Cory challenges the idea that leaders at the top have it all figured out, drawing from years of coaching executives who look successful externally but are often struggling internally. The conversation dives into burnout, purpose, and identity. Cory explains why burnout doesn't come from forgetting how to work, but from forgetting why we work, and shares the framework he uses to help leaders reconnect with purpose and priorities. They close with practical insights on journaling, reflection, and daily rhythms that sustain leaders over decades, not quarters. In this episode, you'll learn: · Why winning at home first is essential for sustainable leadership · How imposter syndrome quietly undermines performance · The difference between being busy and being effective · Why personal conversations drive better leadership outcomes · How purpose anchors leaders during burnout · Simple habits that build clarity, resilience, and alignment This episode is dedicated to Cory's journey and the lessons forged along the way. This conversation is a reminder that leadership is not about arrival, but alignment. This conversation is what we make it. This, is Counsel Culture.

Most leaders understand the importance of health—but few actually live it out consistently.  In this episode, we're continuing our series on The Five Spheres of an H2 Leader with a focus on the second sphere: Health. This isn't just about eating better or working out more. It's about living integrated and aligned to your values and needs. Here's what we unpack: The Definition of a Healthy Leader A healthy leader lives integrated and aligned to their values and needs. Integrated means what you say matches what you do. Aligned means nothing is wearing down in the background—no misalignment that causes pain elsewhere in your life or leadership. Aspirational vs. Actual Values Most organizations have values on the website. But are they aspirational (who we want to be) or actual (who we really are)? If you say you value rest but never take a day off, that's an aspirational value—not an actual one. This episode challenges you to audit the gap between what you say and what you do. Understanding Your Needs: Heart, Soul, Mind, Body Leaders have needs. You're not a machine. You're a human with limitations. Using the framework of heart, soul, mind, and body, we explore what drains you, what fills you, and where you're neglecting recovery. High-octane leaders need high-quality fuel and recovery—just like world-class athletes. The Cost of Ignoring Health When leaders don't take care of their needs, there are always consequences. You might feel the pain in a different area—like a misaligned car that wears down the tread. Burnout, decision fatigue, and lost trust are just a few of the costs. The Benefits of Getting Healthy When you increase your health, you increase trust. Trust increases speed and momentum in your organization. You decrease decision fatigue. You build rhythms that feel natural instead of forced. And you become the kind of leader people want to follow—not because you demand it, but because you model it. Reflection Questions: • What values in your life and leadership are aspirational but not actual? • What personal needs do you have that you're not meeting? • Where are you disintegrated—saying one thing but doing another? If you're ready to lead healthy and high-impact in 2026, this episode is your wake-up call. Listen now and take your next right step toward becoming an H2 leader.

I saw a reel earlier that made me notice how burnout spreads. An entrepreneurial self-help influencer told followers to demand more power, money, and visibility for themselves. You may be familiar with this flavour of message… “How dare you keep your impact hidden?” they said, “given the state of things right now.” They criticised viewers, demanding that they stop letting fear of what others think rule them. “Start the business, write the book, and share it with a world that needs to encounter it.” There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the underlying sentiment. But I felt troubled by the burnout energy evident in the speaker. I watched with the sound off at first, which intensified the impact of their eyes and hand gestures on my nervous system. There was a sense of panic and hype, which felt completely at odds with what is required for deep courage to meet the very real need being spoken about. I didn't feel inspired or grounded in creative motivation. Instead, I was overcome by frenetic urgency and the indiscriminate demand to do more, driven by competition and fear. Things we already have in abundance. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CWf-FGZqIyE What Burnout Energy Pushes Us Toward There are enough people waving their arms and shouting demands about what we should be doing, using, and spending our finite resources on. What we need is space to slow down, take a breath, and listen deeply to that still, quiet voice within. This inner voice shows us what matters and why. Then we can choose how we bring it all to life. We need leaders who lead from that place, so we might be infused with and infected by the gentleness required to move out of that evident stuckness. That stuckness causes wheels to spin in the cycle of hurry, rush, and reactive firefighting mode. What Does Safety Make Possible? The word “safe” is used a lot today. To some degree, it has become diluted, making it difficult to define. But it's worth exploring because it sits at the heart of this issue. Maybe we have a desire to change something about ourselves, our lives, or the world. Or perhaps we've created, or are creating, something that could make a meaningful difference to other people. We now consider another buzzword of our times: vulnerability. It can feel vulnerable to be honest about what we want in life and to share what matters to us with those who matter to us. It can be scary to admit what we care about and what burns within us. That's because it can disrupt the status quo and challenge the image people have of us. It's vulnerable because we cannot be certain how people will react. Vulnerability Is More Than a Mindset Likewise, it may leave us genuinely physically vulnerable if we choose to stand up for what we believe is right, for example, through art or activism. This vulnerability isn't imagined. It's not simply an issue of mindset, limiting beliefs to overcome, or a conditioned cultural message we just need to override with reframe hacks. We know there are real-world threats out there. What struck me about the reel was that it failed to provide the support needed to underpin its demands. In fact, it undermined the courage, conviction, and energy required to speak up in a world that might be unreceptive or even hostile to what we have to say. The finger-wagging shame that comes from an influencer demanding we do more because it's cruel to hide from people who need to see us, however well-intentioned, will ultimately crumble and fold under its own weight. As a result, it creates the very passivity and inaction it warns against. Safety isn’t about comfort or avoidance. It’s the internal condition that enables honest reflection, creative movement, and sustained courage. This isn’t about mindset or thinking. It starts with the context of the stories we swim in, the supportive structures beneath us, and the material conditions that sustain life. Safety is Also Contagious One of the things I have consistently heard from people over the years who have connected with what I do, especially in The Haven and through the Serenity Island course, is the word safety. I'm always curious about what it means to those who use it, because it's not something I think about explicitly. When I started sharing The Return to Serenity Island at the start of 2021, I received messages from people that put words to the experience: “Oh my word, it is incredible! A really unique mixture of sound and sensory experience, coaching, imaginative play and informal, companionable talks. I'm absolutely hooked. I just did a module and cried like a baby because I felt so safe and seen. It is really special. That kind of cry you do when you're a kid, not because you're afraid anymore, but because you've been PICKED UP, and the relief just comes flooding out.” – Josie This spoke of safety not as the opposite of courage, but as the cornerstone around which courageous action can be sustained. A cornerstone we can return to and draw from without conditions on our intrinsic worth as humans. Safety, then, is feeling held as you are, without expectation or demand to prove yourself or fight for a sense of value. A Step Back From Burnout Energy This is a key value that underpins The Return to Serenity Island. It was a response to a feeling I had while doing my old year-end practice. I needed something that broke with the message of self-optimisation, personal productivity, and motivational resources, which, with an emphasis on striving, adding, and growing simply because it's what you're “supposed” to do, carried a creeping burnout energy. Tuula wrote, “Serenity Island has been the most powerful and lovely thing I have ever experienced. Andy has created an amazing adventure, cleverly weaving together incredibly beautiful soundscapes and deeply touching story narrative, which ignites your imagination, activates all senses and sends you on a journey of a lifetime on this island of your wildest dreams. It is playful and also a very useful creative project, which continues to evolve and grow with me. This Island work and its ripple effects have sneaked quietly and effectively into so many areas of my life already. I could not have found more effective and gentle coaching than with Andy.” The course is not something that comes with easy-to-market promises and packaged outcomes that everyone walks away with in the same way. Everyone who goes through it seems to encounter it from a different angle. But there is a common denominator of safety, which underpins everyone's response to it. Safety as a foundation for reflection, observation, and planning. A way to let what sits within us speak, and to give ourselves the best chance of hearing it. And as such, it's not a way to withdraw from reality. Instead, it helps us locate and root ourselves more firmly within it, so we can find strength, courage, and clarity about who we are, what we want to tend to and nurture, and how we will stand in the face of the forces that may take us away from ourselves. An Invitation to Serenity Island The Return to Serenity Island is a self-paced guided voyage with optional Zoom “Picnics”. These provide us with time and space for further reflection, support, and in-person connection along the way. This is a perfect time to grab a passport if this stuff feels right for you. The Serenity Island Passport gives you access to all materials and picnics for the next 12 months. And speaking of safety, I've made the course available on a choose-your-own-price basis. I know many people are navigating changing financial circumstances, and I truly mean it when I say: choose the amount that feels right for you. No minimum, no need to explain or justify your choice. I just want you there if you feel the pull. Arriving Through The Fog | A Narrated Soundscape It's much easier to show than describe, so I'll share the first of these six pieces that supplement the course materials. “Arriving through the fog soundscape is the most brilliant thing I have witnessed as a gateway into myself. If I stopped here, at the harbour to the Island, it would already be worth it for me. Thank you for this. It's filled with magic.” – Zoie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DSBXlLgPuTQ Welcome home!

Dear Boss Babe...If you've been telling yourself “I'm just tired” or “once this season slows down, I'll feel like myself again,” this episode is for you. Because here's the truth: you're not lazy, unmotivated, or broken — you're burned out from carrying too much without enough support. Today we are talking about burnout, hustle culture, and why high achievers lose their spark — not because they stop caring, but because their lives get heavier without better containers. I'm sharing behind-the-scenes truth from my own journey — from fundraising for my skincare brand Silk to running this podcast consistently for nearly three years — and how success without support quietly drained my joy. On paper, everything looked amazing. Inside, I felt exhausted, disconnected, and empty. This episode is your reminder that self-care isn't bubble baths — it's structure, boundaries, and support. Burnout isn't a sign that your dream is wrong. It's a sign that the way you're holding it needs to change. Why burnout is so common for ambitious women and high achievers How hustle culture keeps your nervous system stuck in survival mode The real reason motivation disappears (and how to get it back) Why your spark doesn't return by pushing harder How structure and support are the most overlooked forms of self-care One small shift you can make this week to feel lighter and more energized If you've been feeling resistance toward something you once loved, I'll help you ask a better question — not “What's wrong with me?” but “What's making this feel so heavy?” Because you don't need a new dream. You need a new way of holding the life you already built. This week, choose one area of your life that feels overwhelming and: Write down what actually needs to be done Create structure instead of letting it live rent-free in your head Put a boundary around what drains you Give your brain permission to stop bracing Your spark isn't gone. It's just waiting for you to make room for it. If this episode hit home, make sure you listen to this week's full episode: Episode 135 where we go even deeper into why high-achieving women experience burnout — and how to fall back in love with what you're building without abandoning yourself. ✨ Subscribe, leave a review, and share this episode with a fellow boss babe who needs permission to rest without guilt.

Whatever happened to real effort?Not hustle culture. Burnout. Or pretending to be busy. But the effort that comes from believing your life can be more than what you see around you every day. The people we see around are not satisfied, successful people, but part of a timid status-quo complacency. A society operating on fear. In this episode, Case takes an honest look at modern work culture, quiet complacency, and why so many capable people stop believing effort can change their lives.  This is about rediscovering the quiet, consistent effort that actually creates momentum — especially for aspiring entrepreneurs with ideas that have not yet become an online business. This is how you keep thinking, imagining and noticing gaps, inefficiencies, frustrations, and opportunities in the global marketplace. By remembering, you have to put in the effort. If you feel like there has to be more — this episode is for you. Your Action PlanStop waiting for the perfect planBuild before you broadcastCreate friction for procrastinationFocus on usefulness, not brillianceAccept being early-stageTo have an enjoyable life  in our global, advanced tech society, you can create value.  To have the business, career, finances and lifestyle you desire, follow a proven path that has delivered in good times and bad.  The path of entrepreneurship.

High performers in burnout recovery often expect clarity to come through effort. In this episode, Julie Holly explores why clarity returns naturally when pressure lifts—and how Identity-Level Recalibration helps you reclaim yourself without striving.Many high-capacity humans expect clarity to come from effort—more thinking, more fixing, more discipline. But during burnout recovery, clarity often returns a different way: quietly, when pressure lifts.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly walks listeners through the Reclamation stage of Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR)—the moment when your nervous system begins reorganizing and self-trust starts to return without force.This isn't a breakthrough fueled by adrenaline. It's what happens when identity stops being overridden by performance pressure.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why clarity doesn't always arrive as insight, but often as relief, steadiness, or familiarityHow confusion is usually a sign of system overload, not lack of intelligence or disciplineWhat's actually happening in your nervous system when pressure lifts and safety returnsWhy nothing new needs to be added for clarity to return—what's happening is subtractionHow Reclamation restores access to discernment, creativity, and decision-making without effortWhy returning to yourself feels calm instead of dramatic—and why that's a sign of alignmentWhat You'll Gain:Relief from the belief that clarity requires strivingLanguage to understand burnout recovery without self-judgmentPermission to trust steadiness instead of chasing intensityA felt sense of identity returning beneath role confusion and success fatigueJulie also clarifies how Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) differs from mindset work or productivity tools. This is not another tactic layered on top of exhaustion. ILR is the root-level recalibration that makes every other tool effective again—because when identity is aligned, behavior reorganizes naturally.Today's Micro RecalibrationComplete this sentence without overthinking it:“What feels like me again is…”No performing.
