From Constant Recovery to Sustainable Excellence | Career Advice and Insights

The instinct that’s telling you work shouldn't require constant recovery? It's not entitlement—it's evolution.

In this episode, I share why I've never been comfortable with the "recovering journalist" label after 26 years in the field. We explore the Adrian Wojnarowski wake-up call and what his departure from ESPN really means for mission-driven professionals everywhere. You'll discover why your dedication actually makes sustainability harder, and more importantly, what to do about it.

Key Takeaways:

• Why exhaustion isn't the price of excellence—and never was
• How to redefine commitment without abandoning your mission
• The difference between serving your calling and serving a broken system
• A practical framework for creating work that energizes rather than depletes

This isn't about abandoning meaningful work. It's about proving that excellence doesn't require suffering. If you're tired of the push-crash-recover cycle, this episode offers a different path—one where sustainability becomes part of your mission, not a betrayal of it.
