90. Is Your Job Slowly Draining You? Here’s What It’s Costing You


Listen Later

In episode 90, we’re talking about how to recognize when your job is quietly draining you and the hidden costs that come with staying in misalignment.

If you’ve been brushing off your fatigue, telling yourself it’s just “busy season,” or rationalizing that things will eventually get better, this episode is your reminder to take those signals seriously before burnout takes over. I’m sharing the subtle signs of early burnout, the deeper costs of staying too long in the wrong role, and client stories that show how confidence and clarity can be rebuilt when you choose change.


In this episode, I cover:

  • The early signs your energy is being drained (and why it matters to notice them)

  • How staying in the wrong role chips away at your confidence and clarity

  • The hidden cost of overriding your intuition and self-trust

  • Why you don’t have to “burn it all down” to create change and how small, intentional steps make the difference


Key Takeaways:

  • Ignoring early signs of burnout only delays progress and recovery

  • Staying in the wrong environment erodes self-confidence and motivation

  • You don’t have to wait until everything falls apart to make a move

  • Small steps toward alignment help you rebuild clarity and self-trust
