Hey there! I'm Michael Hunter from Uncommon Teams, and I'm genuinely glad you're here. If you've found your way to this podcast, it tells me you're ready to embrace change like an old friend, and I'm here to make that process easy for you—especially if you're currently feeling like you're running on empty or sacrificing your well-being just to keep up. Because in this powerful episode, I sit down with the incredible Evie Brockwell to dive deep into something that I'd like to call the Energy Paradox. Here, we uncover why chasing "more" might actually be holding you back from the outcomes and impact you truly desire. If you're ready to break free from the hustle culture, understand your own energy patterns, and cultivate a life where you genuinely thrive, this conversation offers the path forward. -- Key Takeaways:

• That "always on" feeling? It might be working against you. Don't mistake busyness for real progress.
• Rest isn't a reward. It's a strategic move. Learn why slowing down can actually make you a more impactful leader.
• Understand & learn to use your unique energy rhythms to unlock a whole new level of performance.
• Don't wait until burnout to change your pace. Start experimenting with what feels sustainable now, not later.
