On The Burnout Club: Chasing Feelings vs. Working Hard: Insights on Avoiding Burnout

This is a replay of my interview on The Burnout Club podcast, hosted by Patrice Bonfiglio—a hedge fund industry veteran and all-around powerhouse.

Key Takeaways:

• Burnout isn’t caused by working hard—it’s driven by chasing a specific feeling or using emotion as fuel to push yourself to extremes.
• A key sign of burnout is physical illness—it often shows up through physical symptoms.
• Overcoming burnout requires a two-pronged approach: logical reasoning combined with subconscious work using hypnotic techniques for focused relaxation and deeper insights.
• Real-life examples from my high-achieving clients show how chasing feelings of accomplishment or confidence can unintentionally lead to burnout.
• Reflections from Patrice and me on our experience attending the Project 1490 retreat, where we first met in person.
