Description

You’re not just working hard… you might be working yourself to death.If your job is your identity, that’s a red flag.

In this episode of *The Real Story*, Dr. Phil breaks down how high performers get trapped chasing self-worth through work — and why it’s costing you your health, relationships, and peace of mind.

• Burnout, anxiety, poor sleep

• Addiction to productivity and “getting things done”

• Higher risk of heart attack and stroke

This isn’t success. It’s a trap.


👉 If you feel guilty when you’re not working… you need to listen to this.
