What I Did to Break Through Burnout | 314
This might be the episode you need.
A few months ago, I shared something vulnerable on this podcast — I was in a funk. Actually, looking back, it was full-on burnout. The morning person who couldn't get out of bed. The relentlessly consistent podcaster who was procrastinating on everything. The marketing lover who felt... nothing.
But here's the thing: I’m on the other side of it now. And in this raw, honest episode, I’m sharing exactly what helped me break through: from the alarm clock hack that forced me to scan a QR code downstairs just to turn it off, to the tool that changed everything, to the hard conversations I had to have about scaling back.
This isn't about productivity hacks or pushing through. It's about the messy, real journey of acknowledging burnout, making changes, and slowly finding your way back to yourself.
What’s included in this episode:
The one thing I did that was possibly the most important step in recovering from burnout (spoiler: it's not what you think)
The physical basics that made a massive difference (and the app that literally got me out of bed)
How I scaled back my daily private podcast after 3+ years and hundreds of episodes—and why Making Good Happen is actually better now
The biggest mistakes I made that prolonged my burnout (so you don't have to make them too)
6 pieces of advice for anyone who's in a funk or heading toward burnout
