Episode 204: The Great Exhaustion

Welcome to The Great Exhaustion. No, not a new Netflix docuseries, just your life… and ours!

Biz-Souls’ dynamic duo Rona Lewis and Jeffrey Hansler pull up a couple of chairs, rub their temples, and talk candidly about the bone-deep fatigue that seems to have settled over… well, everyone.

Change fatigue. Decision fatigue. “Another email?” fatigue.

You’re exhausted. We’re exhausted. The whole room is exhausted. Hey, are we borrowing lines from Rocky Horror?

But this isn’t just whining into the void.

Rona and Jeffrey unpack why people are so depleted right now — emotionally, mentally, and professionally — and what happens when constant uncertainty, nonstop change, and low-grade anxiety become the background noise of work and life.

They explore:

• Recognizing that exhaustion isn’t a personal failure, it’s a signal

• How stress quietly rewires our habits, reactions, and relationships

• The difference between being “busy” and being burned out

• Why powering through is no longer a strategy — it’s a warning sign

This episode isn’t about fixing everything. It’s about fixing what you can and planning for a healthier future.

If you’ve been feeling worn down, stretched thin, or quietly asking, “Is it just me?” — it’s not. And you’re very much among friends.

Pull up a chair. Take a breath. Welcome to The Great Exhaustion.
