E354 | Am I Lazy Or Just Mentally Drained?


Listen Later

Lazy. 

It's one of the most shameful things you can be. And it's largely a title or accusation we make of ourselves. Why do we so frequently feel utterly drained, craving time to unwind and escape reality?

Is there a way to not just reclaim that time, but to structure our days more intentionally to prevent fatigue from building and spiraling into a never-ending cycle? What can we do to finally experience relief and regain control?

In today’s episode, Brett provides a framework to identify the warning signs, uncover the deeper issues at play, and ensure these feelings don’t erode your self-worth.

In this episode, we explore:

  • Psychological insights explaining why we feel so depleted
  • How to prioritize and structure your week to optimize work and rest
  • Mini retreats, transition rituals, and other tools to mentally reset during the day
  • Strategies for filling your cup and consistently showing up for YOURSELF
