Ep. 73: Are You Burned Out or Just Misaligned with Suneet Bhatt
Welcome to Season Five!! Feeling exhausted, checked out, or just off? Before you call it burnout - what if the real problem is misalignment? I'm so excited about this conversation that I'm skipping my usual season-intro solo episode to get it to you sooner. This week, I'm talking with Suneet Bhatt - USA Today bestselling author, executive coach, educator, and founder of the Center for Purpose. He teaches purpose and meaning at Rutgers University, helps founders and leadership teams turn ambition into action, and is the author of Making Sense of Purpose and the Dream Village children's book series. Across everything he does, Suneet explores a simple but powerful idea: purpose isn't something we find once. It's something we make sense of, practice, and evolve over time. Together, we unpack the crucial difference between misalignment and burnout - because mistaking one for the other can keep you spinning your wheels - and we walk through practical reflection steps to help you actually live the life you want, not just fantasize about it. If you've been running on empty and wondering whether you need rest or a redirect, this conversation is for you.
