The Deeper Reason You Feel Burned Out: Your Burnout Type™ has a Pattern

The Deeper Reason You Feel Burned Out: Your Burnout Type™ has a Pattern

Maybe you’ve switched jobs, taken on new challenges, or tried to slow down… but no matter what you change, the same drained feeling creeps back in.

You’re doing the work, hitting the deadlines, showing up for everyone — yet inside, it feels heavier than it should. You tell yourself it’s just a busy season, but the truth is, this “season” has been going on far too long.

Burnout doesn’t always show up as collapsing from exhaustion. 

Sometimes it’s high performance without fulfillment. Or a quiet voice saying, “I’ve done everything right…so why am I not happier?”

That’s because burnout isn’t just about stress or overwork — it’s a deeper misalignment between how you’re wired to thrive and how you’ve been working, leading, and living.

And here’s the tricky part: the way you’ve been operating probably feels normal. You’ve been doing it for years. It’s how you’ve always solved problems, created results, and built success. But what feels personal is often patterned — and predictable.

Your Burnout Has a Pattern

After working with hundreds of high-achieving leaders, I’ve seen the same six burnout patterns repeat again and again. 

Each has its own trap, its own warning signs, and its own way out. 

Once you know yours, you can stop solving the wrong problem and finally take your power back.

In this episode, I’ll share a bit with you about the six burnout types™ so you can start to see your own pattern — and discover how to create success that doesn’t come at the cost of your health, relationships, or joy. 

There Is Another Way

If you don't know your pattern, you'll keep solving the wrong problem. The moment you name your pattern, you can take your power back.

Powerful Quotes

"Burnout doesn't look the same for everyone. For some, it's emotional exhaustion. For others, it's stagnation, resentment, and feeling underutilized." –Blake Schofield

"If you don't know your pattern, you're going to keep trying to solve the wrong problem. You'll keep thinking the next promotion, a better boss, or some time off will solve it, only to find yourself back in the same cycle months later." –Blake Schofield
