#131: Leading on Empty? How to Stop Burnout Before It Stops You
About this episode
Feeling burnt out? You’re not alone.
You’re trying to lead, support, coach, and hold it all together—but it’s starting to show. That quiet dread. The blurred lines between work and, well, everything else.
Here’s the thing: burnout doesn’t mean you’re broken. It means the system you’re operating in needs an upgrade.
What if the problem isn’t how much you’re doing... but what you believe about what you have to do?
Listen to this episode with April Little. We’re talking burnout, boundaries, belief systems—and how to actually build something better.
