Description

In this episode, I get real about burnout, feeling stuck, and how I’m recalibrating my life and this podcast. After months of pushing myself too hard, I’ve realised that two episodes a week isn’t sustainable, and it’s time to shift gears. I open up about the challenges I’ve been facing—being stuck in one place due to van troubles, financial stress, and questioning my direction. But instead of spiraling, I went back to my core values, an exercise I first shared in episode three, and I’m walking you through it again.

If you’re feeling stuck, lost, or just need a reset, this episode will help you realign with what truly matters so you can start making decisions that feel right for you.

💡 Key Takeaways

  • Burnout and Recalibration: Recognizing when something isn’t working and adjusting.
  • Feeling Stuck: Why it happens and how to shift your mindset.
  • Core Values Exercise: A practical method for gaining clarity and direction.
  • Letting Go of Expectations: Why we default to what’s familiar and how to break the cycle.
  • Courage and Self-Belief: Making bold decisions that align with who you are.
