Description

What if your burnout isn't about how much you're doing... but about what it's costing you to still be the one doing everything?

In this episode, we're unpacking the real cost of being essential to everything in your business - and spoiler alert: it's probably way more than you think.

I'm breaking down the three hidden costs you're paying: the emotional toll (decision fatigue, resentment, guilt), the physical impact (sleep issues, chronic stress, burnout), and the massive financial cost (like the client who lost £15,000 in opportunities because she was too proud to pay £100 for tech support).

Plus, we're diving into the psychology behind why we cling to being needed everywhere - and what becomes possible when you finally let go.

If you're ready to stop being essential to everything and start being essential to the right things, this episode is your wake-up call.
