About this episode
Most people think burnout comes from too much work. But for high performers, the deeper problem is often identity.
When you fuse your worth to your output, rest stops feeling like maintenance and starts feeling like failure.
In this episode, I break down why that happens, why successful operators struggle to slow down, and the two ways to fix it without becoming less driven.
