I’m joined by Dr. Patty Ann Tublin, a human behavior and performance expert, who shares why so many professionals—especially new entrepreneurs—fall into the burnout trap and how to break free. We discuss the power of delegation, the importance of knowing your "why," and practical strategies for reclaiming your time without sacrificing success. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or stuck in the cycle of constant hustle, this conversation is for you!
