We’ve been taught that effort equals worth.
That staying busy means we’re doing life right.

During a 14-day water fast, something unexpected happened. I created from calm instead of pressure — and the result was better, faster, and far more joyful than anything I’ve ever forced.

In this episode, I share a simple but profound lesson about high achiever burnout, why overworking yourself doesn’t lead to fulfillment, and what becomes possible when you stop proving and start listening.

If you’re successful on paper but quietly exhausted, this conversation is for you.
