ABOUT THIS EPISODE
You’re hitting your goals. Business is growing. But you’re running on fumes—and no one’s asking if you’re okay.
If that feels familiar, this episode is for you.
In this honest and relatable conversation, Chrissy and Josh break down what burnout really looks like for business owners and managers. Josh shares how ignoring the signs landed him in the hospital. Chrissy explains why “rest is a leadership skill” and how she learned (the hard way) to protect her energy and her team.
Chrissy and Josh unpack the subtle burnout symptoms high achievers tend to ignore like emotional numbness, over-scheduling, and detachment from wins. They reveal how even your best employees may be silently burning out, why hustle culture kills productivity, and how to spot the early warning signs in both yourself and your team. You’ll also learn the difference between supporting your team and enabling poor performance, plus the exact systems Chrissy uses to model sustainable, resilient leadership.
Whether you’re a business owner, team leader, or burned-out manager trying to keep it together, this episode gives you the tools to create a healthier business without losing your mind (or your best people).
