The Link between Burnout and Motivation

Burnout isn’t just about how much you’re working.
It’s about what’s motivating you while you’re working.

In this episode of FERA Fireside, we explore the often-missed relationship between burnout and motivation, especially for passion-driven women, leaders, and business owners.

You’ll learn why two people can work the same number of hours with wildly different outcomes, why freedom alone doesn’t prevent burnout, and the relationship between  how you’re motivated and how easily your energy is depleted… even when you love what you do.

We cover:

• Why burnout can happen at 30 hours a week or not happen at 80
  
  

• How motivation and the nervous system work together to prevent or create burnout
  
  

• Why burnout is often a pattern, not a schedule problem
  
  

• How to start noticing what’s actually driving your behavior moment to moment
  
  

This episode is especially supportive for women who care deeply about their work, hold a lot of responsibility, and are trying to lead without burning themselves into the ground.
