Two of my most brilliant friends are burned out.
Not from being weak.
But from carrying too much, for too long, without pressing pause.
They knew the job wasn’t right.
But they stayed, because comfort is seductive, and fear wears many faces:
→ What if I can’t find better?
→ What if I’m not really as good as they think?
→ What if this is as good as it gets?
And here’s the truth:
That fear isn’t failure.
It’s human.
But it is a signal.
To reflect. To realign. To get help.
This weekend, if you’re in a similar spot, don’t ignore the signs. Do something, however small.
🩶 Journal what’s draining your energy.
🩶 Take one thing off your calendar.
🩶 Ask yourself: What would future-you thank you for?
We can’t afford to burn down our bodies for a job that wouldn’t even send flowers to the hospital.
Need help getting clear? That’s exactly what our Diagnostic Sessions at The Leadership Clinic™ are for.
See you next week,
Dr. Kerstin
Want to Know How You’re Really Doing?
Here’s the part they don’t tell you in wellness blogs: you can’t optimise what you haven’t diagnosed.
That’s why at The Leadership Clinic™, we start with a Work-Life Longevity Diagnostic. It’s a 45-minute session where we identify what’s really draining your performance, then build a precise action plan around energy, leadership clarity, and long-term career health.
📍 This is for people who want real results, not more information.
👉 Book your session here. Your future self will thank you. With better sleep, stronger muscles, and far fewer meetings that make you want to scream.
