Podcasts about Burnout

Scott had a great leadership team, great clients, great culture, and great brands. He also had burnout so deep it was following him home to the dinner table. The hardest part was that there was nobody to blame and nothing obvious to point to. When the usual culprits are missing, most people do nothing. Scott did something else entirely and went from a 20-year advertising career to owning a franchise he loves in less time than he ever thought possible. What You'll Learn: Why burnout without a bad job is one of the hardest versions to catch and act on and what the signs actually look like when there is no villain in the story How outgrowing a career, not overwork or a toxic boss, can produce genuine burnout symptoms and why most people never make that connection What career experimentation actually looks like in practice including the option Scott almost dismissed entirely that ended up being the right move Why identifying your values before investigating options is the step most people skip and why skipping it is what sends people back to the same type of role with a different company name How the same signature strengths that built a 20-year corporate career translated directly into building a business from scratch Our book, Happen To Your Career: An Unconventional Approach To Career Change and Meaningful Work, is now available on audiobook!

Episode Description What if the coaching work you're most passionate about isn't actually the thing your ideal clients are ready to pay for? In this episode of the Million Dollar Niche series, Dielle Charon tackles one of the biggest niche mistakes she sees: building your niche around burnout, self-care, time management, confidence, identity, self-worth, or another feeling. She explains why these niches can be difficult to sell, why feelings aren't a clear result you can permanently promise, and why she believes the strongest niches are anchored in health, wealth, or relationships. But Dielle isn't telling you to abandon the deeper work you care about. Instead, she shows you how burnout, capacity, self-worth, and emotional healing can become part of the way you help someone achieve a tangible result they're already searching for. She also breaks down why fear of responsibility and lack of experience can cause coaches to water down their promises—and how to start smaller without giving up the niche you ultimately want to build. If you've been posting consistently but nobody is reaching out, or you've been afraid to promise a specific result because you can't control every outcome, this episode will help you rethink what you're selling, identify the expertise you already have, and stop throwing away a potential million-dollar niche because of fear. Timestamps 00:28 The niche mistake Dielle sees over and over again 02:35 Why burnout, self-care, and feelings aren't high-converting niches 04:55 Why every coach is already a burnout and time-management coach 07:00 Why feelings like confidence and self-worth aren't tangible results 09:20 The health, wealth, and relationships pattern behind successful niches 11:40 Why your own healing journey can mislead your niche decision 18:25 The deeper fear behind promising a specific client result 26:15 The Life Wins Audit: finding the million-dollar niche you may be overlooking Join the 5 Day Know Your Niche Workshop: https://forthe23percent.com/niche Join the membership: https://forthe23percent.com/everything-sales

Le congé sabbatique peut-il aider une dirigeante à ralentir, prendre du recul et retrouver de la clarté sans renoncer à son ambition ?Dans cet épisode, vous découvrez comment :apprivoiser le ralentissement en créant volontairement des espaces vides dans votre agenda, sans chercher immédiatement à les remplir ;sortir de la performance permanente et retrouver un rythme plus juste, propice au repos, à la lecture et à la rêverie ;prendre du recul sur votre activité, vos décisions et les années écoulées pour observer ce qui fonctionne encore et ce qui doit évoluer ;laisser émerger votre créativité et clarifier vos envies, vos besoins, vos relations et votre avenir professionnel ;donner une place concrète à vos rêves, à votre famille et à votre bien-être, sans opposer ambition et sérénité.Après quinze ans de vie professionnelle intense, dont dix à la tête de sa propre entreprise, Jenny Chammas partage ce que trois mois de congé sabbatique activent en elle.Elle raconte la difficulté initiale à ralentir, la tendance à remplir son temps et le besoin de déconstruire une habitude profondément ancrée : faire, produire, avancer et se sentir valorisée dans l'action. Puis elle explique ce qui change lorsqu'elle s'autorise réellement à ne rien prévoir : le temps devient plus élastique, la pression diminue et la prise de recul s'installe.Pour une femme dirigeante, changer de rythme ne signifie pas perdre son élan. Cette pause permet de mieux comprendre les systèmes, de moins prendre les événements personnellement et de décider avec davantage de clarté. Elle ouvre aussi un espace inattendu pour la créativité, l'ennui, le plaisir et la pleine conscience, sans objectif de performance.Cet épisode vous invite enfin à réfléchir à votre équilibre pro/perso, à votre leadership équilibré et à cette question essentielle : que sommes-nous si nous ne sommes pas notre travail ?Une réflexion profonde sur le fait de ne pas se définir uniquement par sa carrière, de prendre du temps pour soi et de s'autoriser à réaliser ses rêves pour mieux revenir à ce qui compte vraiment.****Rejoignez la newsletter Sensées : elle vous donne accès à un concentré de coaching et d'inspiration.

Like or didn't like what you heard? Share your sip with me! What if becoming a better leader isn't about adding another strategy, habit, or leadership tool, but about understanding yourself?On this episode, I'm joined by Michelle Scott, Executive & Intuitive Leadership Coach, for a conversation about the internal side of leadership we don't talk about enough.With more than 15 years of experience coaching C-suite executives, senior leaders, founders, and rising executives, Michelle helps high-achieving leaders move beyond the cycle of striving, stress, overthinking, and burnout to lead with greater clarity, presence, confidence, and ease.Together we explore why self-leadership matters, the blind spots that can hold even highly successful leaders back, how our internal state affects the way we show up for others, and why intuition deserves a seat alongside strategy and experience when making leadership decisions.Because sometimes the next level of leadership isn't about doing more—it's about becoming more aligned with who you already are.So grab your favorite sip and join us for a conversation about leading from the inside out. ☕️Connect with Michelle Scott:Website: Michelle Scott CoachingLinkedIn: Michelle Scott MA-CHH, D.S.S.Support the showFor more sips and tips, connect with me on social and follow @LeaderSips @Leadspirations and @LifeisGrit on Instagram, Threads, X, Facebook, YouTube, and Pinterest.

On va pas vous mentir... Star Wars Galactic Racer n'était clairement pas dans nos priorités en arrivant à la Gamescom 2026. On s'était même dit, un peu bêtement, encore un jeu de course Star Wars qui va surtout s'appuyer sur une licence culte pour faire l'économie de toute originalité.Et vous savez quoi ? On s'est vraiment trompés.Après plusieurs sessions et quasiment une demi-heure manette en main, on a retrouvé une sensation qu'on n'attendait absolument pas : de la nervosité, du fun, des courses agressives… et surtout un petit parfum de Burnout qu'on pensait avoir perdu depuis longtemps.Un peu comme retrouver une vieille caisse pleine de souvenirs au fond du garage, avec encore quelques traces de takedowns sur la carrosserie.Dans cette preview, on vous raconte pourquoi Star Wars Galactic Racer pourrait bien être la grosse surprise racing de cette fin d'année, avec un feeling Burnout qu'on pensait presque disparu !Bonne écoute

WARTELISTE: https://mailchi.mp/40f66b749b03/shadowwork ---------- Spirituell ausgebrannt? Warum Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, Heilung und Spiritualität dich manchmal nicht freier, sondern erschöpfter machen Du hast schon so viel an dir gearbeitet. Bücher gelesen, Podcasts gehört, Kurse gemacht, meditiert, reflektiert, vielleicht Schattenarbeit, Astrologie, Energiearbeit oder Traumaheilung ausprobiert und trotzdem fühlst du dich innerlich leer, müde oder orientierungslos? In dieser Folge des echt feinfühlig Podcasts spreche ich darüber, warum gerade so viele feinfühlige, hochsensible und bewusst lebende Menschen an einen Punkt kommen, an dem sich ihr spiritueller Weg nicht mehr nährend, sondern erschöpfend anfühlt. Es geht um spirituelles Burnout, um den Druck der Persönlichkeitsentwicklung, um toxische Social-Media-Spaces, Selbstoptimierung, Trauma-Muster, Self-Gaslighting und die Frage, warum dein Nervensystem irgendwann sagt: Ich kann nicht mehr. Du erfährst, warum Erschöpfung nicht bedeutet, dass du versagt hast, sondern oft ein Signal deines Körpers ist, dass der alte Weg nicht mehr passt. Statt noch mehr Input, noch mehr Methoden und noch mehr „an dir arbeiten“ braucht es vielleicht etwas anderes: Langsamkeit, Körperwahrheit, Kapazität, Regulation und einen Weg zurück ins echte Leben.

Faithful women often become the ones everyone depends on. Over time, carrying responsibility becomes so familiar that it no longer feels heavy; it simply feels normal. In this episode, I share a simple story that reveals a much deeper question:What are you carrying that Jesus never asked you to carry?You'll discover:• Why dependable people naturally become the ones others lean on• The hidden beliefs underneath the burdens we carry• Jesus' invitation to the weary and burdened• How to recognize hidden depletion before it becomes burnout• Why you cannot receive with hands that are already fullSometimes faith doesn't look like carrying more. Sometimes faith looks like putting something down. If you've been carrying more than you were ever asked to, Come Away is an invitation to put it down. A two-day encounter with rest, identity, healing, and the fullness of the life Jesus paid for.

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Dr. Maggie Sass and Dr. Ross Blankenship, consulting psychologists and authors of Friction: How Tension, Emotion and Change Reveal Better Leaders. Project managers are trained to remove blockers, and much of the time that's exactly right. But Maggie and Ross draw a distinction that's easy to miss: some friction is simply waste, and some friction is information. You'll hear how the unwritten rules we learned about emotion early in life still shape how we lead, what starts happening in a room before an irritated leader says a word, and the four words Ross thinks can rescue a team meeting. We also dig into why burnout is often a system design problem instead of a self-care problem, what a project leader can actually do about structural friction when they can't redesign the whole system, and which human capabilities are worth protecting as AI makes more of our work faster and easier. If you're looking for a more practical way to read the tension on your team and use what it's telling you, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "But I think the unwritten rule at home was that talking about emotions and living through them safely were two distinct things." "Humans need things, and sometimes they don't even know what they need until you are together in a space or in a call." "You don't ask questions. You don't bring up creative ideas because you have no idea how that's really gonna go given what you're watching a leader do." "But I think the older I've gotten, the more convinced I am that our job as adults inside organizations is not necessarily to be perfect, but it's to repair as fast as possible when you make a mistake, and that's the thing that doesn't happen when people are scared." "I've found that these four words can save your team (and marriage): 'I'm experiencing some friction'." "It helps me remember that between the stimulus and the response, I have space, and the more that I give myself, the better." "There is no real way to separate task and relationship because the humans are doing the tasks." "Being the hero may allow you to solve massive problems or create really compelling products in the short term, but it's not a sustainable way to run a business because businesses are run by people and people have limits." "It's a good example where AI makes you more productive, like, you got 'em done faster, and almost entirely strips the meaning out of it." "And we need to take seriously that our kids need to learn to fail so that they develop resilience."

I once argued with the leader of a soul care institute who said you can't live in the white water all the time, and that you must have some time of calm waters in order to live sustainably. I told him I was strengthening and equipping myself to endure the white water all the time. And I believed it. And I did it! Until…I couldn't. And then it took multiple episodes of acute burnout to finally let go of the pace I was trying to sustain. A pace that I now recognize was more about feeding my insecure identity than anything else. That and realizing I was not actually God and the world and everyone in it didn't actually rely on me for their existence. I feel there are many angles and levels of burnout, and my guest today is an expert in some of them. Dr Neha Sangwan had her epic story of burnout as a doctor juggling 18 critically ill patients per day and barely surviving 36-hour shifts fueled by sugar and caffeine in her early 30s. She did it…till she couldn't. And she realized something had to give. She used her scientific background to jumpstart her journey of renewal and started a mission to help people avoid burnout. But it's not simply to slow down. She is a fan of high production. But, sustainably. Neha's book is titled, Powered by Me: From Burned out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life. This was one of the early messages I had on my own path. I didn't avoid burnout, but I've recovered.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes takes the stage at The Practice Launchpad event to share the business lessons he wishes more dentists learned before becoming practice owners. Drawing from his experience owning 16 practices and making nearly every mistake along the way, Mark breaks down why so many dental practices struggle with profitability, leadership, systemization, team retention, and cash flow.  He explains the importance of building a systems-dependent practice instead of a people-dependent one, creating a strong patient experience, understanding the numbers behind the business, and surrounding yourself with the right support. Mark also shares the Four Futures framework and why financial success means very little if your health, relationships, mindset, and overall quality of life are falling apart.

Exercise, Recovery, Relaxation—and Muscle as the Key to Healthy Aging: Nutritionist Leyla Muedin discusses science-backed wellness trends that pair exercise with effective recovery and deliberate relaxation to support performance, resilience, and healthy aging, noting benefits such as fewer overuse injuries, better sleep, steadier energy, and improved adherence. She highlights relaxation practices (breathwork, meditation, gentle yoga, outdoor time, massage, consistent sleep routines) and encourages making recovery part of daily life, including creating home or community “wellness spaces” like pools for gentle movement and stress reduction. She emphasizes sustainable habits supported by tools like wearables and heart-rate variability tracking. The episode then frames muscle as a “longevity secret weapon,” explaining its roles in metabolism, glucose storage, insulin sensitivity, inflammation control, and joint stability, citing the PURE study on grip strength and mortality, warning about sarcopenia, and recommending strength training, higher and well-distributed protein intake with age due to anabolic resistance, plus adequate sleep and recovery.

Dr. Neha Sangwan is an internal medicine physician turned communication and burnout expert, and the founder and CEO of Intuitive Intelligence. After burning out herself early in her medical career, she spent the next 20 years studying the physiology of stress and now coaches leaders at companies like Google, Apple, and American Express on how to have honest conversations and read their body's signals before they hit a breaking point. She's the author of Talk Rx and Powered by Me, and has spoken on three TEDx stages.In this episode, we discuss:(1:14) The Body Doesn't Care Where the Stress Comes From(1:52) Why Chronic Stress Causes or Worsens 80% of Illness(5:57) Her Own Burnout Story as a Physician(11:07) Being Sent Away as a Toddler: The Root of Her People-Pleasing(13:06) The Six-Year-Old Moment That Shaped Her Whole Career(15:21) Two Mountain Dews and a Snickers: Her "Genius" Survival Strategy(22:05) The Body Map: How to Read Your Own Physical Signals(30:10) The Three Phases of Burnout (It's a Slope, Not a Trap Door)(34:02) Talking to Her Body Instead of Shaming It(46:35) The Burnout Self-Assessment: Where Are You Gaining or Losing Energy?(55:38) Why We Choose Pain Over Difficult Conversations(1:07:21) The Five-Floor Framework for Having Hard Conversations(1:13:09) Why Sitting With Someone's Pain Is a Doctor's Real Job(1:15:54) The Five Levels of Human Connection (Sacred Exchange)(1:18:01) Her Message to Her Six-Year-Old SelfWatch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/imRj-Y68ERMLearn more about Dr. Neha Sangwan here:Website: https://nehasangwan.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/doctornehaIntuitive Intelligence: https://intuitiveintelligenceinc.comBooks: Talk Rx / Powered by Me

If you've been listening to this podcast for a while, you know I love talking about business strategy, marketing, leadership, and scaling. But every once in a while, a conversation takes me somewhere much deeper.This is one of those conversations.When Leanne Lopez Mosley invited me onto her podcast, I expected we'd talk about entrepreneurship and content creation. We did—but she also asked me questions I'd never answered publicly before.We talk about authenticity versus oversharing, why I don't actually love creating content (but love what it makes possible), how growing up with scarcity shaped my relationship with success, why I walked away from law school without even owning a camera, and the identity shifts required to build an eight-figure business.I also share what surfaced during a week-long solo retreat that changed how I think about trust, leadership, marriage, and becoming the next version of myself.If you've ever wondered what really happens behind the scenes of building a business—and the internal work that growth requires—I hope this conversation reminds you that success isn't just about better strategies. Sometimes it's about becoming the person capable of carrying the life you're building.And yes… after all that, Leanne and I head into the kitchen to make my famous guacamole.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:00] Why opening up about the things I usually keep private changed how I think about connection, leadership, and building trust online.[03:44] How the strongest entrepreneurs survive every algorithm change by mastering the fundamentals instead of chasing every new tactic.[09:26] Why growing up with scarcity can unconsciously cap your growth—and the mindset work required to break through those invisible ceilings.[15:41] The unlikely story of leaving law school, starting with almost nothing, and accidentally building a personal brand before "personal branding" was even a thing.[26:59] How to create meaningful content, protect your peace, and avoid the burnout that comes from oversharing online.[33:04] The leadership lessons I'm learning while building an eight-figure business—and why trusting your team is harder than hiring one.[42:00] The emotional realization that surfaced during a solo retreat and how learning to trust others started with learning to love myself.[48:20] A behind-the-scenes kitchen conversation filled with laughter, love stories, and the guacamole recipe everyone asks for.Listen to Related Episodes:The Letter I Wrote to My Younger Self (And Why It Changed Everything)The Harsh Truth About Content, Burnout, and Staying in the Game3 Rules I Follow To Get Real Results In Business And Life

What does it actually take to recover from burnout, beyond the standard advice to practice more self-care? In this episode, Dr. Jim Dahle talks with emergency physician, executive coach, and author Dr. Rob Orman about the realities of burnout in medicine. Rob shares his experience consulting on HBO's 'The Pitt' using real interviews from mass casualty responders, and discusses why he stepped back from full-time clinical practice to focus on coaching physicians through burnout, performance issues, and career sustainability. Rob explains why terms like "self-care" often fail doctors, since they don't address the actual sources of stress, and he shares a pivotal moment from his own career: screaming in his car during traffic on the way to a shift he dreaded, a moment that led him to finally admit he needed to make a change after 12 difficult years. He also offers concrete, usable tools, including a simple technique for defusing conflict by choosing curiosity over defensiveness, and the concept of the "drama triangle," a pattern of hero, villain, and victim roles that can trap people in unproductive conflict. The conversation closes with a look at medicine's historical roots in self-sacrifice, tracing back to clergy and early surgical training, and why that inherited mindset still shapes how doctors think about rest and limits today. Burnout isn't a personal failure. It's a mismatch that can be addressed with the right tools, the right support, and the financial capacity to actually make a change when you need one.

You've been told you can't have it all, but maybe that's not quite the problem. The real problem is nobody ever taught you how to measure what any of it actually costs.This episode is a replay of Tiffany's appearance on Workday Playdate, the podcast hosted by her friend Erin Diehl. In it, Tiffany and Erin work through the questions ambitious women carry into every day but rarely say out loud: What do you do when you've stopped dreaming because you don't have the capacity to want anything new? How do you know if something really isn't your season, or if you're just afraid to make room for it? What's the actual cost of the choices you've already made, and are you allowed to feel resentful about them? And when a raise finally comes through, should any of it go toward buying your time back?Tiffany breaks down the difference between "I can't" and "I don't know how." One is a dead end. The other is a starting point. She explains why burnout has nothing to do with being busy and everything to do with putting in the same effort and feeling no progress, and why every yes deserves to be measured with the same honesty as a budget. She also names the three tasks she outsources before anything else, and tells the story of the twenty-minute conversation that talked a CEO out of quitting her job.You'll walk away knowing how to:Tell the difference between "I can't" and "I don't know how," and use it to move forward instead of stalling outMeasure the real size of a "yes" before you say itBuild a "not now" list instead of giving up on an idea for goodOwn the cost of a choice you made instead of quietly resenting itOutsource the three tasks that give back the most time for the least effortThis is not a conversation about having it all. It's about deciding, on purpose, what's actually yours to carry.For more from Tiffany:Follow Tiffany on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffany.sauderLearn more: https://www.tiffanysauder.com For more from Erin:Follow Erin on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itserindiehl/?hl=en Learn more: https://www.itserindiehl.com/ Ready to build your own Life of And?

Burnout feels real, but what if we've played a role in creating it? I want to explore burnout from a completely different perspective. Recently, I heard several clients say something similar: "My business is running me." But here's the truth: a business can't run you unless you make it your master. A business doesn't do anything on its own. What creates overwhelm is your thinking, your energy, your lack of organization, or your lack of prioritization. The business itself is neutral. It only reflects what you bring to it. The solution is to bring order to the chaos. When you're doing what you love and moving closer to your goals, it's going to feel difficult at times. There will be friction. There will be challenges. It may feel like you're squeezing through the eye of a needle. It may even feel like you're overdoing it. That doesn't necessarily mean you're burned out. It reminds me of a trip I took to Everest Base Camp. It wasn't just a trip. It was a transformation. Before that journey, I had been seriously ill. I was misdiagnosed, nearly died, and ultimately healed myself. That experience was behind me, but it shaped everything that followed. When I decided to trek to Everest Base Camp, I faced several challenges. I don't eat like most people. I had limited training time compared to everyone else. Others had months to prepare; I had six weeks. I also had no real idea what I was getting into, and the whole experience was far outside my comfort zone. It was intimidating. One day on the trek, we climbed nearly 2,000 vertical feet over the course of about nine hours. It was incredibly difficult. At first, I charged ahead and stayed near the front of the group. But before long, my mind started playing tricks on me. My body was responding to every complaint, every doubt, every fear my mind was creating. That day became one of the most powerful lessons I have ever experienced about the mind-body connection. With every step, I consciously worked on my thinking. I worked on my energy. I focused on moving forward without feeding the inner voice that wanted to complain, quit, or tell me it was too much. The voice was there all day. But I learned something important: Your energy responds to your thoughts. And your thoughts respond to your energy. When you intentionally shift one, you influence the other. The same thing happens in business. Whether your business is small, medium, or large, there will be moments when it feels like it's kicking your butt. But the experience changes when you choose a different way of thinking about it and a different way of managing your energy around it. Cleaning up your energy on a regular basis is powerful. Your mind, your business, and your energy are all connected. You can't separate them. When one improves, the others improve too. So if you're feeling burned out, consider this question: Is it truly burnout, or is it time for a new perspective, a new level of organization, and a new way of directing your energy?

You think you have stability. You think you have your health. You think you have all these things. But in reality, they can be taken from you at any moment without warning — Jennifer PetersonThere's a version of strength that looks like showing up for everyone else while quietly falling apart underneath it. Jennifer Peterson spent 25 years in critical care and trauma medicine — and then found herself on the other side of the emergency, bleeding out after a routine surgery, unsure she'd make it home to her own kids.In this episode, Jennifer shares the honest, unscripted story of that near-fatal medical crisis, the EMDR work that helped her carry it, and the burnout that finally pushed her to leave inpatient medicine. She opens up about why she pivoted into perimenopause and menopause care, and why so many women are dismissed, misdiagnosed, or handed antidepressants when what they actually need is real hormone support and someone willing to listen.If you've ever felt unheard by a doctor or like you had to fight for basic answers about your own body, this is a real life story about women's health, self-advocacy, and finding your people.

In this episode of How To Cut It, I'm joined by Rio Agor Watts at Revlon Professional's head office in London. Rio is Revlon's Group Education Manager for the UK and Ireland, and her job is to make sure education isn't just “product info” — it's practical, relevant, and actually works on the salon floor. We unpack what her role really involves, from shaping the learning experience hairdressers receive to the behind-the-scenes work that most people never see. Rio takes us through her own journey too — getting into hairdressing young, finding confidence and purpose in the salon, then moving from a large salon group into an independent and eventually into corporate education. She shares what she had to learn the hard way, and the moments that made her realise she wasn't just a stylist, she was someone who wanted to develop others. We also get into what Rio believes the industry needs right now, especially around texture inclusivity and education that's done with respect and integrity. She talks openly about her mixed Nigerian, white and Spanish background, how that shaped her identity and hair journey, and why asking better questions in the salon matters. Expect honest insight on confidence, communication, boundaries, and knowing your worth — from someone whose entire job is helping hairdressers grow.     RESOURCES Revlon Professional Education click HERE Connect with Revlon Professional UK on Instagram @revlonpro_education_uki Revlon Official Learning Hub click HERE Connect with Rio on Instagram @riorevlonprofessional Watch the conversation on YouTube @howtocutit   CHAPTERS 5:11 Weight Loss and Confidence 7:48 Roots and Identity 10:17 Texture Education Matters 12:05 From Money to Passion 14:08 Finding Growth at Headmasters 15:40 Leaving the Salon Machine 16:53 Why Education Wins 22:21 Joining Revlon Professional 23:57 Escaping the Doom Loop 25:52 Social Media and Booking 26:28 Educators and New Courses 28:53 Look and Learn Model 29:43 Visionaries Mentorship Programme 30:38 Championing Texture Inclusion 33:26 Neurodiversity in Education 36:20 Industry-Ready Training 37:35 Modern Work Boundaries 39:35 Ambition and Burnout 41:43 Social Battery Strain 43:22 Selling Yourself Well 44:34 The Power of Stage 46:06 What Makes Presenters Shine 48:15 Real Communication Matters 49:50 Retaining Talent Together 51:56 Charging Your Worth 54:39 Color, Care, and Scalp 56:39 Hair Loss and Growth

Spiritual director Charlotte Donlon on the rituals, permission, and belonging that keep writers out of burnout and the two-minute practice she uses daily.

This week we're sitting down with Anna Rinke, Co-founder of Homebody Studios, for a conversation that covers SO much.We get into what burnout actually felt like for her before anyone else could see it, the delusion it takes to build something from nothing, and the advice she'd give any woman who looks successful on paper but knows deep down she's unhappy. We also dig into how Homebody actually came together, what building a real brand (not just a studio) looks like, and the boundaries she's had to build for herself now that work no longer comes before everything else.Anna has also become a real force online when it comes to AI education, so we get into what people are getting wrong about it, how to actually start using it if you're only using it like a fancier Google search, and how she uses it to level up her own life.We close out talking about what she's reading, watching, and listening to right now — the books that changed her life, the podcasts making her smarter, and the people whose brains she's obsessed with.Here's what we get into:Anna's path from corporate to founding HomebodyWhat burnout looked like for her before anyone else could see itAdvice for the woman who's successful on paper but knows she's unhappyThe delusion it takes to build something successfulHow Homebody actually came together — and why she saw room in a saturated marketThe difference between opening a studio and building a brandWhat real community actually looks likeHer take on the pilates vs. weightlifting debateThe health and fitness non-negotiables she lives by nowHow she became an AI education force online — and what people are getting wrongPractical tips for using AI in your workplace and your personal lifeThe books, podcasts, and people who've shaped how she thinksWhat she's currently obsessed with, reading, and consumingConnect with Anna:Follow Anna: https://www.instagram.com/annanoellerinke/?hl=enFind Anna on Substack: https://annanoellerinke.substack.com/Follow Homebody: https://www.instagram.com/homebody__studios/?hl=enIf this episode resonated, share it with a friend who needs to hear it.

It's easy to feel like you don't have enough; it's the message we constantly receive through media and advertisements. It's the message that once you have this thing, or make this much, then you will be happy... all of your dreams will come true!

And why doesn't it ever work? A: This episode explains the psychology of contingent self-worth and the neuroscience of hedonic adaptation: when you stake your value on external things, the bar always moves, the reward always fades faster than expected, and there is never enough; understanding the mechanism is the first step to stepping off the treadmill.   Q: Someone I love seems to measure their worth entirely by what they have or what they've achieved — how do I understand that, and is there a way out? A: Henry's story of his patient and Aimee's story of her father both illuminate how the having-more strategy develops and why it becomes impervious to reason; this episode also names the false-self as the construction that drives the endless proving, and points to the inner compass that is always there underneath it. The good news is that there is a way out and this series explores those paths to enoughness.    Key moments: [00:00] Welcome — Enoughness part 2: having enough [00:30] Having enough isn't really about the amount — it's the belief that acquiring this much will make the bad feelings go away  [01:00] Conditional acceptance and love: growing up having to produce, perform, or prove before being given love — the untended grief that drives the proving [01:30] Francis Weller: what happens when we aren't born into a village with a full, joyous welcome of our gifts  [02:00] Henry's story: a venture capital executive, clearly depressed, sent to therapy against his will  [04:00] CBT couldn't break through — his thinking was so distorted he was impervious to reason; he clung to the belief that he added no value whatsoever  [05:00] The lesson Henry learned viscerally: it is futile to try to fill a hole in self-worth by accumulating money or anything else we value  [05:30] If you believe external achievement proves your worth, there will never, ever be enough — and what a drain on one's energy and vitality  [06:00] Aimee's father: grew up needing to grasp for more, family lived week to week — so grasping for more was genuinely what they needed to survive  [06:30] AImee Prasek "Money can absolutely buy relief from misery, but it doesn't buy happiness or joy with the same predictability."  [07:00] The neuroscience: dopamine tracks more with anticipation of getting the thing than with actually getting it — the reward at arrival is inconsistent and can be short-lived  [07:30] Most things can be taken away — a shaky foundation if you've built your identity or worth on them  [08:00] Aimee's father attached his worth to signs of success — culture pushes this onto us too  [09:00] His business fell apart and everything came crashing down — Aimee believes his contingent self-worth collapsed with it [09:30] Watching strangers take back the repossessed items — cars, boats, pieces of him; everything he'd staked his value on, gone in a day  [10:30] Henry: a prolonged grieving right there — it's the universal human experience [11:30] Hedonic adaptation, or the hedonic treadmill: big life events shift our mood temporarily, then we return to baseline  [12:30] Like Sisyphus: pushing the same rock up the hill, same outcome every time — all that effort does not create lasting change  [13:30] Hedonic wellbeing (drive toward pleasure, avoidance of pain) vs. eudaimonic wellbeing (meaning, authenticity, self-acceptance, personal growth) — it's not one or the other; you don't have to give up pleasure  [14:30] Socially-prescribed perfectionism added to the mix: contingencies of self-worth + hedonic treadmill + belief that others demand your perfection = perfect storm  [15:00] The belief that you can and should live without pain, full of only pleasure, proving it all the time — and it is just not true  [15:30] Henry: where the false-self gets born — when we learn that our worth is conditional on performance, appearance, or achievement, we hide the real self  [16:00] We construct a version of ourselves we believe will be acceptable, lovable, worthy of belonging — and it is exhausting to maintain  [16:30] Constant vigilance: am I saying the right thing, do I look right, am I achieving enough? Always the fear of being exposed as a fraud  [17:00] The paradox: the more we invest in the false-self, the less we're actually being loved for who we are — and deep down, we know this [17:30] Donald Winnicott's work on the false-self — link in show notes; also: the Authenticity series and the episode on feeling enough as a mom  [18:00] The false-self is like holding up a complex lie — cognitively and physically exhausting  [18:30] The inner compass is always there underneath the false-self — that knowing of our worth is never lost; it's never too late to come back to it  [19:00] Head to your Experiment in the Joy Lab Program to work on having enough; head to JoyLab.coach to access the Experiments [19:00] Closing wisdom from Lynne Twist: "Sufficiency isn't an amount at all. It is an experience, a context we generate, a declaration, a knowing that there is enough, and that we are enough."   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!    Please remember that this content is for informational and educational purposes only.

Peter ist Förster, Autor und nach einem Gespräch mit ihm schaut wahrscheinlich jede*r anders auf einen Baum als vorher. Wir sprechen darüber, warum ihn dieser Sommer erschreckt hat, warum er trotzdem nicht den Glauben an Veränderung verliert und was sein Burnout mit dem Versuch zu tun hatte, die Welt retten zu wollen. Es geht um Ehe, Empathie, Klimaschutz, Bakterien, Klos und die Frage, ob Bäume uns beim Pinkeln vielleicht doch sehen können.

Understanding collective grief and reconnecting to a sense of purpose explores the increasingly pervasive feelings of aimlessness and low motivation and what you can do about it. We are living through a time of ongoing crisis in a society that fails to recognize and allow room for the wide-ranging impact of grief when it's personal, let alone when it's collective. When you're not directly impacted by the crises (yet), it's understandable to be confused at the energetic drain you're experiencing. This episode unpacks how collective grief quietly shapes your brain and pulls at your energy, especially when we layer on stories of personal failing or laziness. Listen if you want language, context, and gentle tools to help you feel more understood and more connected to a sense of purposefulness in everyday life. Some of what I talk about in this episode includes:The “lazy” story we tell ourselves that keeps us stuck and ashamedHow grief and chronic stress impact the body, brain, and motivationSupportive ways to engage with stress, vicarious trauma, and collective griefPurposeful living and meaning-making as ways to feel reconnected and less aloneHave thoughts or questions about this episode?

Burnout vermeiden Shownotes In dieser Episode geht es ums Burnout vermeiden als Unternehmer – und zwar um drei Warnsignale, die im Unternehmeralltag regelmäßig übersehen werden. Nicht, weil sie versteckt wären, sondern weil sie überhaupt nicht nach Erschöpfung aussehen. Eines davon fühlt sich sogar an wie Gelassenheit. Wichtig vorweg: Ich bin kein Arzt und kein Therapeut. Diese Folge ersetzt keine Diagnose und will auch keine sein. Sie soll Dir helfen, Veränderungen bei Dir selbst früher wahrzunehmen – und Dir zeigen, ab wann Selbstbeobachtung nicht mehr reicht. Zusammenfassung und Stichpunkte zum Burnout vermeiden Das ist die Zusammenfassung dieser Episode in Kurzform: Warnsignal 1 – Erholung erholt nicht mehr. Normalerweise funktioniert Erholung wie Aufladen: schlafen, Wochenende, Urlaub – danach ist wieder Energie da. Das Warnsignal ist, wenn dieser Mechanismus aussetzt. Acht Stunden Schlaf fühlen sich an wie vier, das Wochenende hinterlässt keine Spur, im Urlaub dauert das Runterkommen eine ganze Woche. Der typische Reflex ist, die Dosis zu erhöhen: mehr Schlaf, längerer Urlaub. Wenn Erholung aber nicht mehr wirkt, ist nicht die Menge das Problem. Warnsignal 2 – Es wird Dir zunehmend egal. Das gefährlichste der drei, weil es sich gut anfühlt. Ein Kunde springt ab und es berührt Dich nicht. Eine gute Nachricht wird abgehakt statt gefeiert. Viele deuten das als Professionalität. Der Unterschied: Echte Gelassenheit ist warm – Du bleibst ruhig, aber es ist Dir nicht gleichgültig. Dieses Signal ist kalt. Es entsteht nicht durch Reife, sondern weil gerade nichts mehr da ist, womit Du reagieren könntest. Warnsignal 3 – Mehr Aufwand, weniger Ergebnis. Das Signal, das am schnellsten Geld kostet. Aufgaben, die früher zwanzig Minuten dauerten, fressen zwei Stunden. Dieselbe Mail wird dreimal gelesen. Entscheidungen werden aufgeschoben, die sonst nebenbei fielen. Und weil Du dabei länger am Schreibtisch sitzt als je zuvor, fühlst Du Dich fleißig. Der Preis steht nicht in einer Krankenakte, sondern in Deinen Ergebnissen. Wenn Du Dich bei mehreren dieser Signale wiedererkennst, ist der nächste Schritt keine weitere Selbstoptimierung, sondern jemand, der sich fachlich damit auskennt. Beim Burnout vermeiden gilt dasselbe wie bei allem anderen im Unternehmen: Wartung ist günstiger als Reparatur. Shownotes und Episodendetails Warum ist Burnout vermeiden für Selbstständige schwieriger als für Angestellte? Weil niemand von außen bremst. Es gibt keinen Vorgesetzten, der Überstunden bemerkt, keine Personalabteilung, kein Rückkehrgespräch. Die einzige Instanz, die Alarm schlagen könnte, bist Du selbst – und genau die Instanz ist betroffen. Dazu kommt ein zweites Problem: Im Unternehmertum gibt es keinen Zeitpunkt, an dem etwas fertig ist. Wer Erholung als Belohnung fürs Fertigwerden behandelt, wartet unbegrenzt. Und ein drittes, das selten ausgesprochen wird: Bei Selbstständigen fällt Belastung mit Identität zusammen. Wer sein Unternehmen als Teil seiner Person versteht, deutet Warnsignale nicht als Überlastung, sondern als persönliches Versagen. Das erschwert das Burnout vermeiden zusätzlich, weil Hinschauen dann unangenehmer ist als Weitermachen. Der häufigste Satz zum Thema lautet: Dafür habe ich keine Zeit. In der Praxis heißt das fast immer etwas anderes – nämlich keine Priorität. Zeit für den Steuerberater ist da. Zeit für den wichtigen Kunden ist da. Zeit für einen Serverausfall ist sofort da. Es geht also nicht um Stunden, es geht um Rangfolge. Und was im Kalender steht, passiert. Was nicht drinsteht, passiert nicht. Warum diese drei Signale und nicht andere. Die meisten Ratgeber zum Burnout vermeiden beginnen mit Müdigkeit. Müdigkeit ist aber kein brauchbarer Indikator – die kennt jeder Unternehmer, und sie geht in den allermeisten Fällen wieder weg. Die drei Signale in dieser Folge haben eine andere Eigenschaft: Sie werden nicht als Erschöpfung erlebt. Sie werden umgedeutet. In Professionalität, in Fleiß, in eine Phase, die eben gerade anstrengend ist. Genau deshalb bleiben sie so lange unbemerkt. Was Du konkret tun kannst. Der einfachste Test zu Signal 1: Denk an Deinen letzten richtigen Urlaub. Wie lange hat das Gefühl danach angehalten – zwei Wochen, zwei Tage, oder war es schon auf der Rückfahrt weg? Der Test zu Signal 2: Achte darauf, wie Du über Deine Kunden sprichst. Nicht mit ihnen, sondern über sie. Der Ton verrät mehr als jede Selbsteinschätzung. Der Test zu Signal 3: Schau Dir eine wiederkehrende Aufgabe an, die Du seit Jahren machst. Wie lange brauchst Du heute dafür – und wie lange vor zwei Jahren? Und eine Maßnahme, die im Alltag mehr bringt als jeder Vorsatz: Behandle einen Termin für Dich selbst wie einen Kundentermin. Ein Kundentermin wird nicht verschoben, nur weil gerade viel los ist. Genau das ist beim Burnout vermeiden der Unterschied zwischen Absicht und Umsetzung. Wo Selbstbeobachtung endet. Ein ehrlicher Hinweis an dieser Stelle: Burnout vermeiden ist etwas anderes als Burnout behandeln. Diese Folge kann beim Ersten helfen. Für das Zweite braucht es fachliche Begleitung. Diese Folge ist ein Anstoß zum Hinschauen, mehr nicht. Burnout vermeiden funktioniert im Frühstadium über Struktur und Prioritäten. Ist die Erschöpfung dagegen bereits eingetreten, gehört sie in fachliche Hände – zum Hausarzt, zu einer Psychotherapeutin, zu einer Beratungsstelle. Passend dazu das Leitmotiv von Dr. Michael Spitzbart aus Folge 813: Ursachen behandeln statt Symptome. Er berät seit Jahrzehnten Führungskräfte und Top-Manager, und wer beim Thema tiefer einsteigen will, ist bei ihm richtig. Ein letzter Gedanke zum Burnout vermeiden: Dein Unternehmen kannst Du verkaufen, Deine Kunden weiterreichen, Deine Firma übergeben. Deinen Körper nicht. Er ist das einzige Asset, für das es keinen Ersatz und keinen Käufer gibt.

After more than 35 years in emergency medicine, Dr. Ken Ro began asking a different question: What could have happened years earlier to prevent the crisis happening in the ER today? In this episode, Dr. Ro joins Bethany to explore why high-performing leaders—especially in midlife—can slowly normalize exhaustion, brain fog, poor sleep, stress, and declining energy while continuing to perform. They discuss: Why leaders may not be overstressed, but under-recovered How physical health directly impacts leadership capacity and decision-making Why work gets our best energy while home often gets what's left Protecting the first and last hour of your day The danger of 24/7 accessibility and “micromanagement technology” Dr. Ro's RECLAIM Method for addressing root causes instead of symptoms Why midlife shouldn't automatically mean accepting a lower “new normal” The powerful question to ask your doctor: “If I stay on this trajectory, what will I look like in five years?” Why you cannot lead effectively with an empty tank

Four years ago, this pace of life would have flatlined me. Today I've doubled my coaching team since the start of the year, maintained the leanest and healthiest physique I've had in over five years, gotten married, healed a partial meniscus tear, and I'm handling more stress than ever. Not because I have less on my plate, but because I've fundamentally changed how I operate at a physical, mental/emotional, and relational level.   In this episode I'm walking through the real, unglamorous shifts that got me here: the habit and routine changes (spending way less time in a deficit, training less but harder, radically simplifying my routines, learning the difference between willpower and real systems), the relationship shifts (my marriage, my faith, and getting brutally honest about which friendships were actually serving me), and the mental and emotional work that made all of it sustainable: somatic tools, learning to stop romanticizing my struggles, and building real emotional maturity instead of just muscling through.   This one's long and it's dense, because this is genuinely the accumulation of years of work, not a quick fix. If you've been wondering what it actually takes to build a life and a body you're proud of without burning it all down again, this is the closest I can get to showing my work.   — Fitness, health, and holistic wellness for $22/month Interested in a luxury 1:1 online health coaching experience?

When was the last time you actually stopped and asked yourself how you're really doing? Not the autopilot answer you give people at the gym or in a group text. The real one. That's exactly where I took a room full of guys during a recent workshop, and it cracked something open for every single person in there, myself included. In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I'm sharing the Montana Mastermind Exclusive Session Part 1, where I walk through the 10 alignments I use to avoid burnout and build what I call blissful balance. This isn't some complicated system. It's not rocket science, and you don't need a PhD to get it. But it's profound because of how simple it is, and I've watched it transform thousands of lives, including my own back when I was running myself into the ground as an entrepreneur. Here's the big shift. Most of us think burnout is about working too much. It's not. Burnout happens when a handful of areas in your life go completely unattended while you pour everything into one or two. You can be crushing it in your career and still be running on empty because your health, your relationships, or your spirit are getting ignored. The fix isn't working less. It's getting honest about where you actually stand, then making small, intentional moves in the areas that need it. Here's what stood out most from this session. Give yourself an honest score, not a nostalgic one. I ask people to rate themselves one to five in each alignment based on the last 30 days only. Not high school. Not "the person I used to be." Just now. That single shift in perspective is what makes the exercise actually useful instead of a feel good exercise in self deception. Selfless service only counts when there's no string attached. Giving to your kids or your best friend feels good, but it lives in a different category. Real selfless service is time, insight, or money given to someone with zero personal connection and zero expectation of return. I use an app called Kiva to fund micro loans for entrepreneurs in developing countries, and I've never once pulled my money back out. I just keep reinvesting it into someone else's shot. Your environment might be sabotaging your health more than your diet. We talk a lot about food and workouts, but EMFs, mold, and tainted water are quietly wrecking people's health and nobody's checking for it. I know guys who look absolutely jacked on the outside and are falling apart on the inside because their house is full of black mold. You cannot out exercise a bad environment. It just doesn't work that way. Fifty five percent of communication is nonverbal, and twenty five percent is tone. That means only a small fraction of what you're actually saying comes from your words. In my marriage, I use something I call the love calendar. Every night my wife and I score the day one to ten, average it, and track it over the month. It sounds simple because it is, but it keeps us honest instead of letting resentment quietly pile up. Your morning is sacred territory, and most people give it away for free. Right when you wake up, your brain is still in a theta state, more connected and more open than at almost any other point in your day. The second you grab your phone, that's gone. I protect thirty minutes in the morning and thirty minutes before bed as phone free time, and it has changed how I show up for literally everything else. None of this is about being perfect. It's about knowing where you stand and choosing, on purpose, to close the gap. That's the whole game. When I actually run through these ten alignments consistently, my life gets fuller, my relationships get deeper, and honestly I just feel like myself again. That's what happy hustling actually means. Not hustling harder. Hustling with intention. If any part of this hit home, I'd love for you to listen to the full episode. There's a lot more in there than I can fit into a blog post, and it just might be the reset you didn't know you needed. You can catch it now at https://happyhustle.com/podcast.

He built it out of necessity and now offers it to other clinics. Both apply to physicians practicing in the US and Canada. The free CRAFT manuscript and more information on DoctorFlow are in the show notes, and links are available at nonclinicalphysicians.com/great-income-with-no-burnout/.

In this episode of Ask George, Dr. George Hariri addresses a critical issue facing the industry: selling your practice early simply because you are tired. While the administrative and HR burdens of modern dental practice ownership drive many doctors to sell to DSOs, doing so prematurely cuts off your greatest wealth-building vehicle. George explains that burnout is not just a qualitative issue—it is a massive quantitative financial threat because the highest return on your investment in dental school comes from operating your cash-flowing practice for the longest possible time.If you are feeling overwhelmed in your current stage of dental practice ownership, you haven't failed—you simply haven't "nailed" the systems required for that level of success yet. By proactively identifying and solving the specific bottlenecks causing your exhaustion, you can secure your equity, reclaim your time, and maximize your income.Here is your guide to extending your career and maximizing the financial return of dental practice ownership:Audit Your Exhaustion: Track exactly what drains your energy over a two-week period, whether it is a specific type of demanding patient, a stressful clinical procedure like surgical extractions, or daily HR headaches.Delegate HR Burdens: If managing staff causes you severe stress, hire an office manager to handle schedule requests and team accountability. The cost of their salary is a small price to pay for the longevity it brings to your career.Design a Sustainable Schedule: Restructure your clinical days to prioritize rest, such as working an alternating three-day week that allows for a six-day weekend every two weeks without dropping your operational hours.Find Outside Outlets: Once your practice stabilizes and no longer needs aggressive growth, channel your entrepreneurial ambition into hobbies or fitness rather than constantly disrupting your business.Protect the Cash Cow: While outside investments like real estate are important, never fund them so aggressively that it ruins your personal lifestyle and causes you to burn out of dentistry.Ready to take the next step in your dental practice journey?

You don't have a burnout problem. You have a permission problem. You've been giving yourself permission to feel exhausted, but not permission to find out why. George has taken vacations that didn't fix it. Hired people to take things off his plate and still felt it. And told himself for years that rest would reset him. It didn't. Because rest doesn't fix misalignment. It just gives you a quieter room to spiral in. This is the implementation guide for the two Lacey Newman episodes, distilled into a three-part system you can run this week. Burnout as information. The three lies keeping you from systematizing. And the fear cost audit that Lacey shared that requires nothing but a pen, a piece of paper, and more honesty than most of us are used to. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The one diagnostic question that separates burnout from tired Why burning it all down is almost never the actual prescription The one contained shift that changes everything, without demolishing your business The three lies keeping you from documenting and delegating Why you're not too complex to replace, you're too undocumented to replace Lacey Newman's fear cost audit: pen, paper, and naming what it would actually cost you Why 80% of the change is just acknowledging the fear is there Why "ready" is a lie and what you do instead Key Takeaways: ✔️Burnout is information. Not a death sentence. Not a reason to blow everything up. A signal pointing at misalignment. Get curious with it. ✔️The test: if you go on vacation and come back dreading the return before you even leave, that's not tired. That's a symptom that needs a shift, not a rest. ✔️Make one contained, reversible shift. Not a rebuild. One client stopped working Fridays. Another stopped taking buyers. Both went from wanting to quit to loving their business again. ✔️The three lies: it's too complex to explain; I create a custom experience for every client; what I do is magic and no one else can do it. All three feel true. All three are dangerous. ✔️You're not too complex to replace. You're too undocumented to replace. Those are two very different problems. ✔️Document the process first. Voice memo, screen recording, having someone observe you. Then AI or a human runs it without you in the room. That's how you find out where the magic actually lives. ✔️The fear cost audit: write the goal, then write what getting it would actually cost you. Name every fear. Lacey said 80% of the change is just acknowledgment, the naming does most of the work. ✔️Ready is a lie. You don't work through fear by sitting with it. You work through it by moving through it. Take the hit. Notice you're still standing. Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — You don't have a burnout problem. You have a permission problem.

Ministry burnout often begins when church production and worship leaders neglect the very things their leadership depends on. In this candid episode, we examine how demanding ministry seasons can undermine sleep, nutrition, spiritual disciplines, mental health, marriage, and family life. We share practical ways to prepare for busy church calendars, build sustainable habits, ask for help, and serve with excellence without sacrificing what matters most.

The Learning Leader Show with Ryan Hawk www.LearningLeader.com The Price of Becoming www.LearningLeader.com/Becoming My guest: Angela Duckworth is a psychologist and professor at the University of Pennsylvania, and a MacArthur "genius" grant recipient. Her book Grit was a #1 New York Times bestseller, and her TED Talk is among the most-watched ever. Her new book is Situated: Find the People and Places That Bring Out Your Best. Key Learnings She almost lost her mom in the Atlantic. Angela took her 87-year-old mom snorkeling miles offshore. Her mom had not swum in decades. Within minutes, she had aspirated water into both lungs and was unconscious. Angela treaded water, held her mom's head up with one arm, and waved the other until help came. Her mom is 91 now and painting. No amount of grit would have saved them. Angela could not have swum her mother to shore. What saved them was changing the situation, which meant getting other people to their side. The situation is the ocean. It's that powerful, and most of us don't know what water we're swimming in. Grit isn't wrong. It's incomplete. Angela hasn't renounced anything. She's expanding it. Effort is what you bring. The situation determines whether that effort compounds or gets swallowed. Angela was a striver, and it worked for a long time. She knew she wasn't the most talented kid, but nobody was going to outwork her. She wanted to make the cheerleading squad without being able to do a split. She wanted a solo in choir while barely able to carry a tune. She worked her way to both. Most people would be surprised how far sheer effort can take them. Then it stopped being enough. To get as far as she actually wanted to go, and to do it sustainably for herself and the people around her, ignoring the situation was a mistake.  The shift: stop making the best of your situation through effort alone, and make the situation better first. "Of all the ways you can change your behavior, willpower is the absolute worst." You can white-knuckle a donut. You just can't do it forever. Resisting works in the moment and reliably leaves people exhausted, which is why it fails on day three. Your urges come from your thoughts. Your thoughts come from your surroundings. Donut, delicious. Then your hand moves. Instead of fighting the urge, ask where the thought came from. The better question: what situation would give me different thoughts? Not "how do I resist," but "where can I be so that the thought never arrives?" Three inputs shape what you think: the people around you, the physical objects within reach, and the place you're in. Situational agency. Angela coined the term. The situation isn't given to you. It's taken. Leon Marchand was already sixth in the world. His parents, both former Olympians, didn't tell him to train harder or wake up earlier. They told him to change his situation. He emailed Bob Bowman, moved to Arizona, and within two years cut more than eight seconds off his personal best and broke Michael Phelps's last-standing individual world record. A year after that, he won four golds in Paris. What actually changed for Marchand: the best coach in the sport, a lane full of people who all believed they could win it all, better facilities and nutrition and physical therapy, and a culture where world-class was the baseline rather than the ceiling. The situation isn't a given. The situation's taken. Control the controllables. The situation is one of them. Angela agrees with the mantra. Her objection is that most people apply it only to what's between their ears: mindset, attitude, goals. Marchand didn't rethink his attitude. He got on a plane. Get the outside game right, and you get much of the inside game for free. Change the room and the thoughts change with it. Every reason you can't change your situation is probably true, and beside the point. When Angela told people what she was writing, they immediately listed the reasons they were stuck. The mother-in-law, the spouse's job, the kids' school. None of it is wrong. All of it ignores the list of things they could change. Her late father-in-law's whole philosophy was two words: show up. Wedding, funeral, baseball game. Show up. John Wooden taught high school English for 14 years. He kept an apple on his desk. He thought of himself as a teacher first, which is also why he sat high in the bleachers during games instead of courtside. He'd taught them in practice. The game was theirs. What Wooden's players took with them: to be your best at anything, find a great teacher. Angela sees a DIY culture pulling the other way. When she tells young people to email someone, the answer is often that they'll just learn it on YouTube or ask a chatbot. You can teach yourself a lot of guitar that way. You will not become a great guitarist alone. Belief is borrowed more than you'd think. Nobody tries hard at anything without the thought "I can do this" somewhere in their head. That thought usually arrives from someone else first. Angela was a self-described ditzy cheerleader throwing keg parties. Her 10th- and 12th-grade English teacher, Mr. Carr, saw a writer. He handed her books. He took time on her pages. By graduation, she was the rare Harvard freshman who signed up for a second semester of the required writing course, just to keep going. The Pygmalion effect. Bob Rosenthal made up a test, told elementary teachers which kids were about to bloom, and picked the names at random. The teachers called on those kids more, listened harder, encouraged more. By year's end, the kids fulfilled the prophecy they'd been randomly assigned. Every single person she has interviewed has a Mr. Carr. Olympic athletes, Olympic coaches, CEOs, world leaders. Someone who could see farther than they could see. Confidence is a half-filled helium balloon. It has to get batted back up again and again. Which means you don't need your mentor once. You need them on the bad days. Angela forwards her rejection letters to her team. The journals she submits to reject over 90 percent of submissions, and the rejections run eight single-spaced pages. She sends them around so the younger scientists watch her fail, hear that she's angry and discouraged, and then watch her get back up. She failed writing this book the first time. Up before dawn seven days a week through an entire sabbatical, and the clock ran out. She called her publisher and her agent to give the money back and asked whether she owed interest. They called it a pause. She said remote controls have separate buttons for pause and stop. Burnout and imposter syndrome were abstractions until they weren't. She had taught both. She had never lived either. Not eating, not sleeping. What got her out was not more effort. It was a better situation: additional editorial support and mentors to get her back on track. Frankl and Maslow argued about this for decades, and Maslow conceded. Self-actualization aimed only at yourself leaves you unfulfilled. Maslow's final writing added a level above it and named it self-transcendence. There are only two types of people: those who are humble, and those who are about to be humbled. Angela's champagne moment a year from now: celebrating the people around her. Erikson called this stage generativity, and the question it asks is how everything you've learned can help the next generation do better than you did. Her students should excel her. They should be the ones on podcasts. She wants to cede the spotlight on purpose rather than have it taken. Her core identity is psychological scientist. Not speaker. Not author. The stage is a flow state, and she's good at it, but take away the research, and it isn't her anymore. Worth knowing which one yours is. Reflection Questions Pick the goal you've been grinding on the longest with the least to show for it. Is that an effort problem or a situational problem? Who is the best in the world at the thing you're trying to learn? What would it take to send the email this week, and then get on the plane? What is your purpose, in one sentence, written down? Mine is to inspire others to value and pursue excellence. What's yours?
