Your best employee is reliable, loyal, and gets everything done. They are the one you trust. The one who picks up the slack. The one who always figures it out.

And they are probably exhausted.

In this episode, Dr. Jason unpacks a real coaching conversation with a high-performing office manager who finally said the quiet part out loud. She was overwhelmed, burning the candle at both ends, and running out of capacity.

This episode dives into:

Why building your practice around “unicorns” is dangerous

How great employees quietly absorb the work of two or three people

The hidden cost of constant training, onboarding, and fire-fighting

Why burnout is usually a systems problem, not a people problem

How late-night texts, constant urgency, and chaos steal time from families

The power of one-on-ones, daily check-ins, and real communication

Why assigning time to your calendar is not optional if you want sustainability

If your practice “works” because one person is holding everything together, this episode is your wake-up call. Great teams are built on systems, clarity, and protected time, not quiet sacrifice.

Listen in if you want to keep your best people healthy, engaged, and actually with you for the long haul.
