Send me a Text Message! I am Happy to Hear from You.

A casual conversation with AI revealed something that stopped me in my tracks—I had been experiencing burnout for over ten years without even recognizing it. While I'd been helping others find their path to success, I'd been silently struggling myself, operating on autopilot for years while trying to figure out my own journey.
Looking back, the signs were obvious. Mental fatigue, emotional exhaustion, detachment from activities I once enjoyed, and that persistent feeling of running on empty. For more than 13 years, I've been reinventing myself, constantly searching for clarity about my purpose. I was like a candle burning at both ends, slowly consuming itself while trying to light the way forward. The most surprising part wasn't just the burnout itself, but how I had normalized it as simply part of the journey, rather than recognizing it as a warning sign.
In this deeply personal episode, I share how burnout manifested in my life—from inability to engage with activities I loved to isolation from meaningful connections. I explore the three different paths people take in life and why those of us trying to reinvent ourselves are particularly vulnerable to burnout. Most importantly, I reveal the strategies that have helped me recover: setting clear boundaries, focusing on one platform instead of trying to be everywhere, engaging deeply with a smaller community, and honoring my limitations while finding creative solutions. If you've ever felt stuck in a cycle of exhaustion and frustration while trying to build your version of success, this episode might be the mirror you need to recognize your own patterns. Remember, burnout doesn't mean you're broken—it means your system needs a reset. Share your story with me on Substack, and let's connect about how you recognize and recover from burnout in your own life.
