Why Pushing Harder Is What’s Burning You Out

Описание: Life doesn’t respond to pressure—it responds to presence.
If pushing harder hasn’t brought the peace, clarity, or results you expected, this episode explains why.
In this conversation, we explore how high performers unknowingly confuse intensity with intention, and how that survival-based drive leads straight to burnout. When your nervous system is organized around urgency, your body never believes the future is safe—no matter how much you achieve.

This isn’t about giving up ambition. It’s about rebuilding success on regulation instead of desperation. When direction and nervous system safety align, clarity replaces force, and sustainable momentum becomes possible.

You’ll learn why:

Pressure drains energy instead of creating results
Survival mode disguises itself as discipline
Regulation—not effort—is what allows life to respond
Faith and neuroscience both point toward presence over performance

This episode includes a short self-empathy and faith-based practice to help your body shift out of survival and into grounded leadership.

The question isn’t how hard you can push.

It’s what happens when you finally stop.
