You're doing your best. You give work your all. And yet, something's not right. What else can you do? This week, we go back to the basics of how to create a simple life so you can regain your freedom and minimize burnout when Plan A didn't work out the way you hoped it would.?

Have you ever felt like you were stuck between a rock and a hard place?

Do you think about your life choices in black and white terms where either you do something you don’t want to do and feel miserable or you don’t do it and feel guilty?

Your decisions don’t have to be complicated.

Your thinking doesn’t have to be extreme.

Your results don’t have to suck.?

What if there was a way to create a win-win scenario?

Read about it in this week's article, "What to Do When Your Work Isn't Working Out."

Listen

Gary Collins was a “kid from nowhere who wanted to do better than his parents to escape “poorville.” He “did everything right” but got caught up in chasing the carrot.

His burnout was a “blessing in disguise.” Now he shares his 3-legged stool of living a simple life, the exact principles that allowed him to have a total reset and “get back to old Gary.”

If you’ve lost touch with who you were, don’t miss this interview on?Decode Your Burnout.

Watch

Susan Cain was an associate at a Wall Street law firm, working "16-hour-days for seven years straight!" But this is not a burnout story.?

When Susan didn't make partner like she had hoped, she left the law firm and got asked by a friend a question that changed her life.

In her?TED talk, Susan talks about a state of mind she calls "an inconsolable longing for we know not what" and encourages us, "when the dark times come," to ask ourselves the same question her friend asked her all those years ago.

Bonus

I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to speak to two amazing and powerful women recently, Andrea Samadi (host of the?Neuroscience Meets Emotional and Social Learning podcast) and Belinda Ellsword (host of the?Work From Your Happy Place podcast).?

You can never get enough burnout talk, am I right?
