The Painful Reason You’re Burned Out

Is your drive to be productive burning you out?

Does the idea of relaxing create anxiety or guilt?

And how can we tell if we’ve been hijacked by our fear?

In this coaching call, I help a husband and father take a look at what drives his deep need to be productive. We explore how we use work to escape our emotions as well as what’s possible when we’re not running away from ourselves.

In this interview:

  • The shadow side of productivity
  • Why we burn ourselves out
  • What fuels ambition for many people
  • Learning about the ‘boardroom in our minds’
  • Making sure we’ll always be safe and secure
