#200 Burnout Isn't a Job Problem. It's an Operating System Problem.
Description
You don't need to quit your job to fix burnout. You need to rewrite the operating system running underneath it.
In Episode 200, it's time to remember what Give Yourself Some Leeway is all about.
This show was never designed to be a simple guide for leaving a job. Many of you tune in while struggling with career burnout, hoping for a sign to walk away. But the true intention has always been about reframing how you view your professional path.
We focus on aligning your daily work with your personal goals rather than just escaping a bad situation. True career progression comes from understanding your own motivations, not just running from what makes you unhappy. It is time to look at your trajectory with fresh eyes.
Burnout isn't what happens when you work hard. It's what happens when the gap between what your inner narrative expects of you and what's actually sustainable keeps widening, silently, until something gives.
If you love your career, your team and your work, this episode is for you.
