What does a cross-country vegan strong-person party bus have to do with burnout? Absolutely nothing. But it did come up in this week’s episode, and honestly, we kind of love the idea. Once we got back on track, Sawyer and Giacomo dug into the messy, exhausting, and all-too-familiar topic of burnout—what it looks like, how to recognize it, and what to do when you realize you're running on fumes.

Sawyer shares his own experience from his lawyer days (spoiler: it wasn’t pretty), and Giacomo offers insight on how burnout shows up in coaching clients—especially the ones who think admitting they're overwhelmed is a weakness. This one’s part personal story, part strategy session, and totally relatable.

If you’re caught in the loop of "just get through this week" on repeat... you need this one.
