Good Fatigue: When Tired Means You’re Doing It Right

You don’t have to grind 24/7 to prove your worth. The day you take the cape off is the first day you actually start to fly.

Show Notes:
In this honest and refreshing episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee admits something he’s long resisted saying: “I’m tired.” But rather than viewing fatigue as weakness, he explores how being tired can actually be a sign you’re living in alignment with your purpose.

Baylor breaks down the difference between the exhaustion that drains you and the fatigue that fuels you—the kind that comes from chasing dreams you chose. He also dismantles the toxic myth of “Superman syndrome,” reminding us that strength isn’t about pretending you’re indestructible—it’s about knowing when to rest, recharge, and be human.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• How to identify the difference between good fatigue and burnout

• Why chasing alignment beats chasing endless productivity

• The power of admitting “I’m tired” without guilt or shame

• How rest sharpens your performance instead of slowing you down

• Why removing the cape is the key to real freedom and longevity
