Some conversations stay with you long after they're over. This is one of them.In our first episode, Nick sits down with Jonathan Malm — author of Don't Burn Out Burn Bright — to explore what it really means to live and work sustainably in a world that rarely slows down on its own. Jonathan has spent years walking alongside people in work, ministry, and family life who are quietly running on empty, and his book offers something rarer than advice: a way back to yourself.Together they reflect on the hidden costs of hustle culture, the tension between calling and capacity, how AI and social media are changing the inner landscape of our lives, and what it looks like to stop burning out and start burning bright — not as a productivity strategy, but as a way of being.This episode is an invitation to slow down long enough to ask the questions that matter.What you'll hear:— The early warning signs of burnout most people miss— How work, ministry, and identity quietly become entangled— A grounded, honest look at AI and social media in our daily lives— The philosophy behind Don't Burn Out Burn Bright — and who it's written for— What the road back to health actually looks likeFind Jonathan's book: https://amzn.to/4chyWXeConnect with Jonathan: https://www.instagram.com/jonathanmalm/Explore the Sonnal Focus Journal: https://simplysonnal.comJoin the Sonnal Community: https://www.skool.com/sonnal-focus-community-2761/aboutJournal prompt for this episode: Where in your life have you been confusing endurance with health — and what might it look like to choose a different pace?
