The Recalibration

#104 When the Role You're Playing Becomes the Reason You're Drained


Listen Later

It’s not just burnout. It’s role fatigue — and your nervous system knows it. If you feel like you’re unraveling in a role you’ve outgrown, this episode is your relief and recalibration.

You’re not exhausted because you’re weak.
You’re exhausted because the role you’re playing no longer matches the truth of who you’ve become.

In today’s episode of The Recalibration, we name a form of burnout high-capacity humans rarely recognize: role fatigue.

This isn’t about workload. It’s about identity-level misalignment.
From Julie’s personal story to client patterns and the wise pivot of Jim Collins, we explore the emotional and physiological toll of performing a version of yourself that’s expired.

You’ll learn:

  • Why high performers override nervous system signals
  • How fatigue shows up when you're out of sync with your role
  • The key difference between burnout and misalignment
  • Why identity-rooted action is essential (not optional)

Micro Recalibration:
What role are you performing that no longer fits who you are becoming?

Leader Recalibration:
If you lead a team, a project, or a household—this is for you.
Leadership isn’t about title; it’s about responsibility and influence. Bring this question into your team culture. Let it guide 1:1s, retreats, and personal development conversations. Invite honest reflection about alignment — and give permission to evolve.

This is your cue to stop performing and start becoming.
Realignment starts now.
