We’ve all had those days where we’re wiped out and wondering, “Am I burnt out or just knackered?” In this ep, I unpack that question and break down the crucial difference between being physically tired and emotionally burnt out. Because they might feel the same, but they’re very different beasts.
Tiredness is your body saying, “Hey, slow down.” Burnout is deeper, when you’re drained physically and mentally, and it’s often a sign that you’re out of alignment with your work, goals, or purpose.
The truth? We’re built to work hard. But when there’s no clear why, even small tasks feel heavy. Burnout often creeps in when we’re grinding without direction or meaning.
This ep will break down how to check in with yourself and avoid the burnout spiral:
👊 Physical tiredness is normal, burnout is emotional exhaustion stacked on top
👊 Without a clear why, even your best work will start to feel pointless
👊 Find the parts of your job that light you up (and do more of those)
👊 Money without purpose won’t energise you, you need to know what you’re working for
