Burnout isn’t just “too much work.”
Most of the time, it’s unhealed patterns, people-pleasing, and living in survival mode while calling it “normal.”

In Episode 167, I’m joined by Danielle Zilg (coach + therapist-in-training). We talk about what burnout is really pointing to, why most people chase quick fixes, and how real change happens when you stop avoiding the truth.

In this episode, we cover:

• The real reason people stay stuck in “Band-Aid fixes”
• What burnout is actually trying to tell you
• Overworking as a coping strategy (and where it comes from)
• How to choose the right coach without getting burned
• Coaching vs therapy: what each is best for
• Why the best decisions feel calm, not hyped
• Danielle’s simplest advice: Choose yourself
