Burnout Is Not a Personal Failure (and What’s Really Driving It) — with Alan Briggs
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode, we take the next step: If limits are holy… then what do we do with burnout? Canon Mark Eldredge and Rev. Brian Pape are joined by leadership coach and author Alan Briggs to explore a critical reframing: Burnout is not a personal or spiritual failure. It’s often the result of what Alan calls “voluntary self-exploitation.”
Many leaders aren’t breaking down because they lack faith or resilience— they’re carrying weight they were never meant to carry. Drawing from his book Anti-Burnout: A Lighter Way to Live and Lead in a Heavy World, Alan helps uncover what’s actually driving exhaustion beneath the surface—and what a healthier, more sustainable way of leading can look like.
