About this listen

 In this episode, Ade shares a deeply personal journey from the excitement of a new career to the crushing reality of burnout. She candidly discusses the moment she realised her ‘spark’ had faded under the weight of exhaustion and organisational chaos, leading to a pivotal decision to step back and reassess. Tune in now to hear about the transformative power of slowing down, the importance of redefining success on your own terms, and how to uncover a deeper, more sustainable purpose even when passion feels lost. KEY TAKEAWAYS Burnout doesn't always happen with a big explosion; often, it creeps in slowly and quietly until you no longer recognise yourself. Sometimes the most productive thing you can do is stop. Stepping away allows you to listen to your body and mind, leading to necessary healing and clarity. When you feel disconnected from your work, your passion hasn't necessarily died; it may just be buried under exhaustion and noise. Rest is key to unearthing it again. Changing direction or stepping down isn't failure. It is often a strategic ‘pivot’ that allows you to serve your purpose in a way that is healthier and more aligned with your current self. Your worth is not defined by your to-do list, your job title, or how much you can endure. You are a human being who deserves to simply be, not just do. BEST MOMENTS "Burnout doesn't always start with a big explosion. Sometimes it just creeps in slowly and quietly, until one day you realise you're not the same person you used to be." "I had been so busy surviving that I forgot how to simply be." "Realignment is not quitting. Sometimes finding your way back means allowing yourself to change direction." "You can't connect the dots looking forward; you see them when you look back." "We don't just need a break; we need a blueprint. Something that helps us to move from burnout back to balance."
