The Hidden Cause of Burnout No One Talks About
Are you pushing yourself to keep going… while secretly avoiding the truth you don’t want to face?
Today I’m asking you one simple question: What are you avoiding?
Because guest what? Burnout isn’t caused by working too much. It’s caused by working on the wrong things for too long. And often, those “wrong things” come from avoiding the conversations, emotions, or realities we don’t want to admit.
I share my own story of ignoring my body’s need to slow down and the clarity I gained once I stopped pushing and started listening. Plus, I’ll walk you through a simple reflection practice to help you uncover what you’ve been avoiding so you can stop running on fumes and start leading from truth, clarity, and alignment.
✨ What you’ll learn in this episode:
The hidden signs you’re avoiding something important (and how it drains your energy).
Why avoidance keeps you stuck in survival mode.
A simple exercise to uncover what you’ve been ignoring — and reclaim your power.
How facing your truth leads to more clarity, freedom, and energy in life and business.
If you’re ready to stop avoiding what you already know deep down, this episode will give you the clarity (and the nudge) to finally face it.
