Everyone's talking about millennial burnout right now, and I wanted to add my voice to the conversation — not with more fear-mongering, but with what I actually believe about freedom, work, and burnout heading into 2026.

This one's a bit different — it's not a strategy episode, it's a conversation I've been having on repeat with clients and friends lately. I talk about why I think the internet has lied to us about what freedom actually is, the values I optimise my life around, and a moment a few weeks ago where I genuinely asked myself if my business was still what I wanted.

In this episode we cover:
— Why everyone's talking about millennial burnout right now, and the 3 reasons I wanted to weigh in
— Why I believe the internet has lied to us about what freedom actually is
— What Scalable Freedom really means to me (hint: it's not a clear calendar)
— The moment I asked myself if my business was still what I truly wanted
— Why burnout happens when we stop having fun, not just when we work hard
— The 3 values I come back to — mission, family, and building generational wealth
— The questions I want you to sit with if you're feeling tapped out

I'd love to hear from you on this one — DM me on Instagram and tell me what resonated, or what freedom looks like for you.
