Burnout Breakthrough Accelerator Week 2

Lessons from a Quitter

In this week’s episode of Lessons from a Quitter, I continue sharing my Burnout Breakthrough Accelerator series. We dive into the second pillar of moving past burnout: uncovering the impossible standards we set for ourselves. From work expectations like never making mistakes or always going above and beyond, to personal standards of being the “perfect” partner, parent, or friend, we explore how these unrealistic bars keep us stuck in exhaustion and self-criticism. Through exercises and real-life examples—including a powerful story from a client—you’ll learn how to recognize these patterns and begin creating realistic standards that allow for success, joy, and sustainability.
