Stacking Genius To Create Market Value

 Have you ever wondered if you’re burnt out or if this is just the price of participation in the modern economic climate? And what if you can't change jobs? Is it possible to make your job more purposeful and satisfying, even if you're trapped in it? 

I chat with Amina AlTai, the author of The Ambition Trap and an executive coach who's helped thousands of women optimize their work lives. She answers all of these questions and gets into why you’re burnt out and exactly what you can do about it, no matter your situation—if you’re stuck in a job you hate, if you’re looking for a new job, if you love your job but it’s exhausting you—you’ll end this episode with pragmatic steps to feel better ASAP.

🎧 What you’ll learn:

• The 3 types of burnout and how to identify which one you have

• The 5-part framework for purposeful work—use it to decide if you should stay in your job or quit

• How to tell if you're in the wrong career (before you waste years feeling miserable)

• The hidden wounds driving your overwork—and how to stop seeking validation through achievement

• Why your "zone of genius" matters more than your passion (and how to find yours in 3 steps)

• The 60/40 rule: the exact ratio you need to avoid burnout 

• How to spot burnout red flags during a job interview (so you never accept the wrong offer again)

• The best type of vacation for actually healing burnout 

• Why invisible labor is draining you—and how to stop being the "office therapist"
