Listen Later

You’re slogging away in a job that’s slowly draining your soul, but you tell yourself you have nothing to complain about. The paycheck is steady, the benefits are fine… so why does it still feel like something’s dying inside you?

In this episode of Burn the Map, we’re talking about pre-traumatic growth: how to make a change before crisis hits, and how to start designing a life that fits without waiting for a breakdown.

You’ll learn:
• How to recognize when stability has quietly turned into stagnation
• The difference between burnout and “soul rot” (and why it matters)
• Simple ways to prepare for a big life or career shift while you still have options
