In this episode, Finding New Hope, Dex explores how professionals can rediscover hope and purpose after burnout. Drawing inspiration from Viktor Frankl’s Man’s Search for Meaning, Dex shows how meaning and purpose are not luxuries—they’re essential for resilience, recovery, and fulfillment.

He examines why burnout so often erodes hope, how chronic stress distorts our perception of self-worth, and what it takes to reclaim your power and confidence when you’ve run dry. Through visualization, reflection, and self-compassion, Dex invites you to reconnect with your authentic, capable self—the one who still believes in your own future.

This episode is an antidote to despair, and a call to rise—stronger, wiser, and more human than before.

Key Takeaways

Hope is a choice and a practice. As Viktor Frankl wrote, “Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose.”
Meaning and purpose are survival tools, not nice-to-haves. They keep us connected, resilient, and capable of thriving even in hard times.
Burnout breeds despair, not because you’re broken—but because you’ve been running on empty.
You can reawaken your inner leader. Visualize your future self: grounded, calm, confident, and capable.
Self-compassion is not indulgence—it’s medicine. Hope returns when you take the rod off your own back.
The transformation begins when you decide to believe in yourself again.
