Ep 50: Burned Out? How to Strive for 'Sustainable Balance' with Meg Trucano
Have you ever felt like the weight of the world was on your shoulders, especially during the hectic holiday season? I know I have! In this episode I sit down with Meg Trucano, a developmental psychologist and confidence coach, to talk about finding “sustainable balance” in a world that glorifies busyness. We dive into the roots of burnout, why we treat hustle culture like a badge of honor, and how to create a life that feels truly aligned with who you are!
Topics covered:
- The psychology behind burnout and how to recognize it.
- Why busyness is often seen as a status symbol—and how to reject it.
- Practical steps to create a life aligned with your values and passions.
- The concept of “sustainable balance” as a practice, not a destination.
- Strategies to manage energy and time for greater contentment.
- How to identify when it’s time to pivot in your career or life.
- The role of self-trust and support networks in personal transformation.
Here are some actions you can take whether you have 5 minutes or 50:
- If you have 5 minutes, read this article from Forbes called “Rejecting hustle culture: 4 ways to reduce hurry and increase happiness.”
- If you have 50 minutes, read another article this time from Calm called “What is burnout? 22 signs you’re facing it and how to recover.”
