Episode Notes:

Is it drive… or just depletion in disguise?

In this episode of The Intuition Incubator, I dig into the sneaky relationship between ambition, productivity, and burnout. If you’ve ever confused your to-do list with your self-worth, or mistaken constant motion for meaningful progress—this one’s for you.

We’ll unpack the myth that busyness equals success, and explore how urgency can quietly hijack your intuition. I share real talk about honoring your energy cycles, the critical (and often uncomfortable) need for rest, and how creativity doesn’t respond well to being micromanaged.

You’ll leave with practical ways to:

• Align your hustle with your deeper “why”

• Recognize your own energy patterns before you crash

• Recover without guilt and recalibrate with clarity

Spoiler: the path to sustainable success isn’t paved with spreadsheets and stress. It starts with ease. Let’s rethink what it means to be productive—and give ourselves permission to rest.
