What happens when the thing you’ve been chasing suddenly doesn’t feel worth it anymore?
In this conversation, Alyssa Nolte and Eric Nehrlich unpack the pressure to achieve constantly and the freedom that comes from saying no. Eric shares the story of how working 100-hour weeks at Google led to a total collapse and a life-changing realization: success means nothing if it costs your health, joy, and relationships. Alyssa reflects on her own “mirror moment,” realizing she’d been modeling the same burnout cycle for her kids.
This episode is a must-listen if you’ve ever asked yourself, is it worth it? or felt trapped by the pace of your own ambition.
Key takeaways:
- Saying no is a skill and it’s one that can change your life.
- Energy audits help you find what fuels you and what drains you.
- The best leaders set clear expectations and model the balance they want for their teams.
