Mich Bondesio opens Season 15 with reflections on burnout and how to rebuild work and life without burning out again. This episode explores a quieter, often unspoken form of ambition: soul-fuelled ambition driven by purpose, care, and a desire to create meaningful impact. Mich shares her own lived experience of burnout and recovery, and why traditional productivity models fail humans who are deeply invested in their work.

In this episode:

• The hidden dangers of “burning bright” in purpose-driven work
• How burnout shows up before collapse
• Why productivity was never the problem
• Performance vs pacing: why resilience without reflection is a trap
• Why work-life balance is a myth
• A new definition of productivity rooted in intention, values, and sustainability
• What Season 15 will explore: rebuilding after burnout and designing work that lasts

Key insight: You don’t need to do more. You need to do more of what matters — with clarity, consistency, and care.
