2042: From Burnout to Flow State: How to Achieve More Without Doing More

<p>What happens when you&#39;ve checked all the boxes? The career, the family, the financial success, the home. You&#39;ve done everything you were supposed to do, and yet something still feels...off.</p><br><p>Maybe you&#39;re exhausted. Maybe you&#39;ve become so good at achieving that you don&#39;t actually know how to stop. Or maybe, as you move through midlife, you&#39;re starting to wonder: Is this really what I want? And who am I when I&#39;m not busy getting things done?</p><p>My guest today knows this reckoning intimately.</p><br><p><strong>Unni Turrettini</strong> is an author, speaker and former Wall Street professional whose latest book, <em><a href="https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GY27FLSV?lv=shuf&channelId=500&plpRedirect=mhFallback" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Soulware</a></em>, explores how we can reconnect with ourselves in a world that increasingly rewards productivity, performance and external validation.</p><br><p>Unni spent years in high-pressure legal and financial roles, pushing herself so hard that she once physically collapsed at a professional event. But even after building what looked like a picture-perfect life, she found herself questioning why she still felt unfulfilled.</p><br><p>Today, we&#39;re exploring the difference between healthy ambition and what Unni calls fear-driven overachieving. We&#39;ll talk about why midlife can trigger a crisis of identity, how to stop operating in constant survival mode, and why giving yourself permission to work less might actually make you more creative, productive and even profitable.</p><p>And in a very timely twist, we&#39;ll explore how Unni uses AI, including ChatGPT, to help reconnect with herself rather than become even more dependent on technology.</p><p><strong>How&#39;s midlife going? <a href="https://www.jotform.com/build/262556781257063" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Fill out Farnoosh&#39;s survey</a> and help shape the podcast in 2027.</strong></p>
