130 - How to Get What You Really Want - Without Burning Out Trying
Do you ever stop yourself from wanting more because it feels selfish or impossible to achieve?
In this episode of Burnout-Free Me, we’ll unpack the hidden fears that make “wanting” feel unsafe, and how to give yourself permission to desire more without guilt or burnout.
You’ll learn how to recognize the difference between external expectations and genuine desire, why your values are the clearest guide to what you truly want, and how Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs can help you build a sustainable foundation for growth.
I’ll also share a real coaching story about moving from “Should I?” to “How can I?”, and a powerful mindset shift that changes everything.
Getting what you really want isn’t about working harder, it’s about aligning with who you are and what matters most. And pursuing what you want shouldn’t lead to burnout. It should bring you back to yourself.
