Burnout doesnât always look like collapse. Sometimes, it looks like quiet success â full client load, solid reputation, and a nagging sense that something essential is missing.
In this episode, Dr. Jess shares the unfiltered story of how he lost touch with the reason he became a practitioner in the first place. What started with two Zen monks on a hitchhiking trip turned into a career that checked every box⊠except the ones that actually mattered. If youâve ever found yourself saying yes to every opportunity without checking whether it still fits your life â this oneâs for you.
Youâll hear how subtle misalignments (even when things are âgoing wellâ) can slowly drain your energy and disconnect you from your purpose. And more importantly, how to begin the awkward, honest process of course-correcting â before the burnout fully sets in.
If your original âwhyâ has started to fade, or youâre wondering whether it still applies at all â tune in. Sometimes your why changes. That doesnât mean youâre lost. It means youâre evolving.
