You don’t necessarily need more hours in the day.

You need to manage your energy better.

In this episode, I sit down with performance coach Joe Parish to discuss how ambitious people can pursue demanding goals without neglecting their health, relationships or personal lives.

Joe shares his experience of pushing himself to breaking point spending weeks unable to train, struggling with extreme fatigue and watching his confidence and self-worth collapse.

It became one of the most difficult but valuable experiences of his life.

Together, we discuss:

• Why traditional work-life balance doesn’t exist
• How to manage life using a “push and pull” approach
• The warning signs Joe ignored before burning out
• Why neglecting your health eventually damages your performance
• How to protect your body, business, brain and relationships during demanding periods
• Why you should plan around energy not only time
• How to identify which tasks energise, sustain or drain you
• The green, amber and red system for planning your week
• Why rest and recovery are essential parts of high performance
• How short breaks can dramatically improve productivity
• Why your goals should be an expression of who you genuinely are
• Three questions Joe uses to guide his decisions every day

The goal isn’t to perform at maximum intensity every day.

It’s to know when to push, when to pull back and how to protect the areas of your life that allow you to perform at your best.

If you’re ambitious but constantly feel overwhelmed, exhausted or guilty that something important is being neglected, this conversation is for you.
