The Emotional Cost of Work That Doesn’t Fit Anymore


Listen Later

There’s a kind of burnout that doesn’t come from doing too much—it comes from doing the wrong things for too long.

In this episode, I talk about the emotional toll of staying in offers, systems, and client relationships that no longer fit. This isn’t about mindset. It’s about misalignment—and the quiet cost it takes on your energy, your self-trust, and your business.


What I cover:

Subtle signs your offer is burning you out (even if it “makes sense” on paper)

The difference between hard work and emotional labor

How misalignment can show up as avoidance, resentment, or exhaustion

Why “just raise your rates” isn’t always the right move

A tiny but powerful audit you can do today to start recalibrating


Listen in if:

You’re emotionally tapped but still showing up out of obligation

You’ve outgrown an offer but haven’t figured out what’s next

You’re scared to change things because it used to work

You need someone to say, “Hey—it’s okay to shift”
