Episode 21: How to Break Free from Burnout

Have you ever had a season where everything looks “successful” on the outside—clients, stability, even admiration—yet inside you feel utterly depleted?

I’ve been there. Recently, I found myself standing in the shower, water running for 30 minutes, unable to step out. Sales were down 60%. For three months, our fixed costs and salaries were 30% over income. I was paying 22 team members from my own savings and I hadn’t paid myself a single euro—while working 10+ hours a day. At home, Joy had a virus for two weeks. I stopped working out. The weight of it all was crushing. In the noise of the water, I realized something had to change.

That moment changed everything for me. And it may be the same for you.

In this week’s episode of the Global Academy of Coaching Podcast, I share that turning point and the exact framework I used to end burnout—without sacrificing my calling.
