You’re not tired because your mission is too big.You’re tired because your identity hasn’t evolved to carry it.
In today’s episode of Daily Power Boost, we unpack a brutal but freeing truth: burnout isn’t always about overwork, it’s about inner misalignment.
When you lead from an outdated identity; the fixer, the doer, the people-pleaser; you burn through energy trying to prove instead of be. Even purpose-driven work will drain you if your self-concept is stuck in survival mode.
Because pressure can’t power purpose.Only alignment can.
