Sobriety stopped complicating life, but what happens when burnout takes over?

In this episode , Amanda and Melissa highlight the unexpected parallels between alcohol recovery and burnout recovery—and why so many sober people find themselves chasing the next high through work, achievement, or external validation.

They get real about:

• The misconceptions about burnout

• The addictive nature of workaholism &why slowing down feels like a threat.

• How the coaching industry fuels burnout with toxic productivity culture.

• The hidden costs of perfectionism, people-pleasing & chasing the algorithm.

• Practical tools to break free from burnout without falling into self-sabotage.

If you’ve ever felt like you replaced drinking with overworking & over-achieving — this conversation is for you.
