Ep#171 The Discipline Trap – Why Pushing Harder Won’t Cure Your Burnout 9:20

3 days ago9:20

9:20

Is self-discipline the cure for burnout—or part of the problem? If you’ve ever told yourself, “I just need to get my act together,” or felt ashamed for not being able to power through exhaustion, this episode is for you. We unpack one of the most damaging myths around burnout: that you can fix it by trying harder. For high-performing professionals, this trap is especially dangerous. The very trait that’s propelled you forward—relentless self-discipline—can become the force that drives you to collapse. In this honest and compassionate conversation, you’ll learn: -Why self-discipline often becomes toxic in burnout. -The emotional cocktail behind “just push through” (shame, fear, guilt…). -How to reframe discipline as self-loyalty and protection, not punishment. -The difference between surviving and thriving in your career. -What it really takes to recover—without stepping away from your job. -Plus: a powerful story of Dex’s own burnout and the turning point that changed everything. ✨ Burnout recovery isn’t about being harder on yourself—it’s about finally learning to stand with yourself.

The paradox of burnout is that we try to combat the stress of overwork by working harder to get ahead! Unfortunately, this does not address the root cause of burnout, and at best creates temporary relief. More often, we fail and sink deeper into exhaustion and despair. This week's episode, then, looks at why people don't recover from burnout - what holds them back? What can you do when you ARE ready to recover? It's easier than you think!
