What if your exhaustion isn’t a burden — but a blessing? What if being tired means you’re actually living the life you once wished for?
In this episode, Michael Coxen shares a deeply personal reflection on success, purpose, and perspective — a reminder that tiredness isn’t always something to fix; sometimes it’s something to honor. Between being a broker, coach, husband, and friend, Michael opens up about what it really means to live a “full” life — one filled with responsibility, trust, and opportunity.
This isn’t a pep talk. It’s a reset. A simple way to reframe fatigue as gratitude — to see your busy season not as burnout, but as proof that you’re doing the work you once dreamed of doing.
What You’ll Learn in This Video
- The powerful difference between burnout and purposeful tiredness
- How gratitude can shift pressure into perspective
- A nightly exercise to reframe exhaustion into appreciation
- Why “I have to” becomes more freeing when replaced with “I get to”
If you’re an agent, entrepreneur, or anyone striving for more — this message will remind you that the life making you tired is often the one you built. And that’s worth celebrating.
