The Blessing Buried in the Betrayal: How to Recover From Burnout That Rest Won't Fix
Most high-achievers think burnout is a workload problem. It isn't. In this episode of Listen Then Speak, executive coach and certified counselor Jahmaal reframes burnout and betrayal as two sides of the same wound, and reveals why no vacation, boundary hack, or productivity system fixes exhaustion that lives at the belief level.
If you've ever come back from time off and felt depleted by Tuesday, this one names what's really happening: you've been over-functioning to avoid grieving a betrayal you never processed. Here you'll learn the difference between betrayal as destruction and betrayal as revelation, walk through the L.I.S.T.E.N. Method applied to betrayal, and get practical steps to recover personally and professionally.
