Energy In...Energy Out

Episode Summary

Are you holding it all together… but secretly running on empty? If you’re the one everyone counts on, but lately your days feel heavier, your clarity is slipping, or your calendar is full—but your energy is gone—this episode is for you. You might not be burned out yet. But you’re close. In this raw and revealing conversation, Sharon Otaguro shares her own surprising brush with burnout—disguised as success—and the powerful moment when everything shifted. You’ll learn how to spot the early signs, understand why burnout often hits the high performers hardest, and how to reset your system without walking away from your purpose. If you're tired of holding your breath and pushing through, it’s time to recalibrate. This is your invitation to move from burnout… into flow.
