When Growth Feels Bad: Burnout vs. Doing Hard Things


Listen Later

Not everything that feels hard is burnout , sometimes it’s just growth doing its thing.


In this episode, I’m talking about how chasing the goals you really want won’t always feel good, and how to tell the difference between genuine burnout and the normal discomfort that comes with doing hard things. Whether you’re deep in a fitness journey or just feeling stuck in life, this is the reminder you probably need.


I cover:

-Why growth should feel uncomfortable

-The signs you’re actually burned out vs. just avoiding the hard stuff

  • -What to do when motivation fades

  • -How to build momentum (even when you’re tired)

  • -Why discomfort doesn’t mean you’re doing it wrong

  • -If you’ve been feeling unmotivated, overwhelmed, or just unsure what the hell is going on with your energy — this one’s for you.
