I was one of the folks from the Unsubscribe community that found your workshop and life work extremely valuable and very much aligned with my own philosophy. Thank you for what you do. It’s very much needed in the world 🙏🏻
Beautiful. I define burnout as “rowing against the current”. I’ve been there again this year, pursuing someone else’s dream. Now I’ve redefined what success means for me. And will check alignment regularly, to see if it will still feel right.
Love the extension of the downshift metaphor and reframing it as essential to the climb, not a retreat from it. The distinction between overwork burnout and misalignment burnout from your presentation resonates. Most people (high-performers especially) are running their engines hard without knowing what fuel they actually run on or what terrain they're built for. So they're not truly performing at their best. Feels like the systematic self-awareness practice you're describing is what's missing. Curious to learn more about your process.

Thanks for the kind words Dylan. Great to see you last week!
Such a useful framework that, I would suggest, needs to be thought about by people who are retired or retired-adjacent.
Seconded!!! I’ve had a few conversations with such folks lately and there’s some real work required to uncover “who am I and what do I really want?”
I love this subtle distinction, so interesting! So great to hear you and your work is doing well and thriving too!
Thank you David! Sending love from upstate NY.
This was great. -and spot on.
I also came across your work via unsubscribe.
It really hits home!
Great work.
