How To Know If You Have Burnout - Alan Lazaros

Send us Fan MailFeeling successful on paper but strangely unfulfilled is more common than we admit — especially in midlife, when the roles stack up and the old definition of success stops landing.So how do you know… is it burnout, or are you misaligned?In this episode, I sit down with Alan Lazaros, founder and CEO of Next Level University, to unpack what fulfilment actually means — and how to use it as a compass when you’re tired, stretched thin, or questioning everything.We explore how to recover from burnout, but also go deeper than that — because sometimes it’s not just exhaustion, it’s a sign that something in your life no longer fits.Alan shares his story, including a life-altering turning point that forced him to reassess everything, and how that led him to a more intentional way of living and working.From there, we get into the patterns many of us fall into — overachieving in one area while neglecting others — and how that imbalance can show up as anxiety, overwhelm, health issues, or that low-level feeling that something’s off.We also talk about why you have anxiety and how to deal with overwhelm in a way that’s practical— small, consistent shifts that actually change how your life feels.You’ll hear simple frameworks you can use straight away, including health, wealth, and love as a prioritisation lens, PMES (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual), and how fulfilment can be a signal that you’re on track — while regret can point to where something needs attention.We also touch on the pressure many women feel in midlife — overgiving, blurred boundaries, and the process of reconnecting with your own needs without guilt.Visit our website to find out more about this week's guest.All of our guests, including this one, are included in our Guest Directory so that you can find out more about them and the work that they do.https://midliferebelpodcast.com/guest-directoryIf you'd like to support the show you can buy me a coffee!https://buymeacoffee.com/midliferebelpodcast
