DEEPLY RESTED PODCAST
Ep. 22: Why Our Obsession With Passion Is Causing Burnout
with Terri Trespicio
We live in a society obsessed with passion. I can’t scroll through Instagram without being reminded that my life would be easier if I just surrendered to my passions.
There’s an underlying belief that passion is the ultimate antidote to burnout… but is it really?
Terri Trespicio, writer, speaker, brand advisor, and the author of Unfollow Your Passion: How to Create a Life that Matters to You, believes passion is a liability that often makes our burnout worse.
Terri is on a mission to help creative, service-oriented humans move beyond burnout by rewriting the rules that keep us stuck in the passion trap.
In this episode, Terri will share:
- The key to preventing passion from becoming another item on the to-do list
- How your relationship with “the rules” is contributing to your burnout
- A powerful 3-part prompt to help you rewrite “the rules” and take control of your life
- Why you should really give yourself permission to half-ass everything 🙌
Terri also shares the real antidote to burnout—this is KEY if you want to recover from burnout and live your happiest life. Hint: it has nothing to do with passion! 😉
Finally, Terri and I discuss why the typical work/life balance suggestions don’t resonate for us and suggest a different paradigm that might be the key to truly enjoying your life as an entrepreneur.
