I’m breaking up with the constant grind of setting unrealistic goals without considering my values and capacity.
That was me in 2020/2021, working 16-hour days across four different jobs, hustling my heart out, until I had my main character moment and realized…
“If my calendar looks like a never-ending game of Tetris, but I’m the only one playing… I’m leaving this situationship faster than a dating show contestant.”
Channel your inner Mark Cuban, because I’m OUT.
Since you're here, I’m betting you’re also feeling the “thanks, I hate it” vibe of setting big goals while already anticipating burnout.
You know that feeling—it’s like setting out on a road trip but already dreading the traffic jam before you even leave the driveway.
Here’s the thing: burnout doesn’t come from working hard—it comes from working hard at the wrong things.
Because, you KNOW I’m never going to not work hard.
If you pushed a boulder up a hill and it rolled down the other side, you'd feel like a total baddy! You did it! You’re strong!
Work that works—even hard work—feels amazing!
But when you’re juggling four jobs, or in the earrrrrrrrly days of starting your business it can feel like you're pushing a boulder that won’t budge.
You’re pushing and pushing, but nothing’s moving.
You might start buffering with busy work—moving from boulder to boulder, reorganizing your schedule, redoing your brand colors for the 10th time, cleaning out your inbox. The tasks seem productive, but they don’t change anything. They don’t get you closer to your goals.
That’s where burnout starts. You feel like you’re doing everything right but getting nowhere. And eventually, you either give up or keep pushing, frustrated and exhausted.
That’s when you start to think, “Why do I even bother?”
Oh sweet friend, I hope you do bother.
What if I told you it's not about trying harder?
What if the boulder isn’t the problem?
Maybe it’s about choosing the right boulder, the right approach, or maybe you just need help pushing it.
Too often, we get stuck solving the wrong problem and end up quitting altogether.
It doesn't have to be that way-
But If you're going to be DONE with burnout—and I mean really DONE, not "we were on a break" done—you need something that actually works.
