Ryan Lang & Brook Bishop

If you’re a coach, it’s highly likely that you are passionate about helping others get in alignment with their dreams, their lives, and their purpose. But if you’re pouring the majority of your time and energy into other people, there’s a surprisingly high chance that you might actually be out of alignment yourself – and even suffering from burnout (or fast approaching it). In today’s episode, we get into the four ‘Ps’ and the ‘C’ of Doom, also known as burnout. We unpack what we can do to avoid the circumstances that lead to burnout, steps for bringing us back into alignment with our purpose, and how we can learn to let go of a mindset of scarcity and step into one of abundance. Tune in to hear Ryan Lang and Brook Bishop’s insights on the causes of burnout, how to address them, and why it’s so difficult to recognize burnout when you’re in it (especially if you’re a high achiever). Join us for this important conversation on burnout, coaching, and getting your groove back!
