Episode 162: Is Your Burnout Misalignment?

Most people think they’re overwhelmed. Maybe they aren’t - they could be misaligned. 

In this episode, Jim breaks down why high performers feel stuck—even when they’re capable, driven, and doing “everything right.”

The issue isn’t effort. It’s the gap between identity, values, and behavior.

Jim outlines four key areas to evaluate when you feel off:

• Identity: Who you say you are vs. how you behave
• Values: What you claim matters vs. what you reward
• Desires: What you want vs. what you’re willing to sacrifice
• Fear: What you’re avoiding that’s holding you back

Misalignment creates internal friction, which leads to burnout, procrastination, and quiet resentment.

The fix isn’t more productivity. It’s honesty (to ourselves), paired with action.
