174: The Campaign Hangover: What To Do When You’re Exhausted (and Still Need to Raise More)


Listen Later

If you’ve hit that post-campaign wall, tired, drained, and wondering if anyone else feels the same, this episode is for you.

In today’s episode, I share what to do when you’re completely wiped from GivingTuesday or a year-end push but still have fundraising goals to hit. You’ll learn how to recover strategically (without going silent), re-engage donors who gave once, and use short “sprint campaigns” to rebuild your energy and results. Because burnout isn’t a sign that you’re doing it wrong, it’s a signal that you need structure, rest, and a smarter rhythm to your fundraising.

Topics:

  • What is the campaign hangover, and why is it completely normal
  • How to recover from fundraising fatigue without losing momentum
  • Why rest and structure are non-negotiable for sustainable growth
  • How to design “sprint-style” campaigns that prevent burnout
  • Why donors often give again within the same 30-day window
  • The importance of shifting your message post-campaign, not going silent
  • Quick two-minute tweaks to boost conversions without new content
  • How to reuse winning posts, emails, and videos from earlier campaigns
  • The three ways to reset your energy fast (walk, talk, or move your body)
  • How to push smarter, not harder, through the end of the year
