“You don’t burn out from doing too much — you burn out from doing too much of what you don’t love.”
In this inspiring episode of The Daring Well Podcast, host Rita Mercer sits down with Carly Pepin, an international business coach and human behavior specialist, to explore what it truly means to lead with alignment, authenticity, and balance.
Carly shares her powerful story — from launching her first business at 18, to thriving in the fashion industry, to helping others design businesses and lives that reflect what they love. She explains how burnout doesn’t come from doing too much — it comes from doing too much of what you don’t love. Together, Rita and Carly unpack the deeper truths about leadership, pride, shame, confidence, and the power of personal growth.
Listeners will walk away with practical mindset strategies to:
✨ Reconnect with your purpose and values
✨ Recognize and overcome burnout and misalignment
✨ Balance pride and humility through gratitude and fulfillment
✨ Build authentic confidence through self-certainty
✨ Redefine leadership both in business and at home
Whether you lead a company, a classroom, or a household, this episode will remind you that aligned leadership starts with knowing who you are — and loving what you do.
