Episode 145. Bound Energy: The Missing Link in Burnout Recovery
You’re putting in the effort.
You’re doing the “right” things.
So why do you still feel exhausted… or stuck?
In this episode, we’re unpacking a concept most burnout conversations completely miss: bound energy.
This isn’t a woo-woo discussion about vibes or motivation. It’s a grounded, practical look at how your focused attention, unmade decisions, avoided conversations, and suppressed emotions quietly drain your energy—and keep burnout in place, even when you slow down or try harder.
You’ll discover:
- Why burnout isn’t always caused by doing too much
- How energy becomes trapped in everyday life and work (especially in dental practices)
- Why motivation keeps failing—and discipline feels surprisingly better
- What it actually looks like when energy becomes unbound
- How to do a simple audit to identify where your energy may be stuck right now
If you’ve ever thought, Why isn’t this working? or I should feel better by now, this episode will help you connect the dots in a way that finally makes sense.
Burnout isn’t a personal failure.
It’s a signal.
And this episode shows you how to listen—and start releasing what’s been holding you back.
HEY THERE! LET'S CONNECT...I'D LOVE TO GET TO KNOW YOU BETTER!
