We often talk about burnout as the result of stress, long hours, or too many deadlines.

But what if… it’s deeper than that?

What if burnout is fueled by something more hidden—like work addiction masked as productivity, purpose, or even pride?

In this episode, I open up about my personal journey from being a high-performing lawyer to a recovered workaholic—and how work became my socially accepted addiction.

You’ll discover:

• The subtle signs of work addiction (that most high achievers miss)

• Why we glorify “busy” and how it feeds burnout

• The emotional cost of overworking—and how it impacts your health, relationships, and identity

• What it really means to work hard without harming yourself or those you love

• How to start setting boundaries that actually stick
