#LeadandLift | Episode 125 | Sara Centanni

Burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s a warning sign. If you’ve ever felt drained, unmotivated, or trapped in a career that no longer serves you, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: there’s a way out.

Burnout is something we often ignore—until it forces us to stop. My guest, Sara Centanni, experienced this firsthand when she pushed herself to the point where her body literally couldn’t take it anymore. Instead of staying stuck, she took control of her life, invested in herself, and made a courageous career pivot to align with her true passion.

If you’ve been feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or out of alignment with your career, this episode will give you the tools and inspiration to make a change.

Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode:

• The early warning signs of burnout you can't afford to ignore
• How coaching, therapy, and self-care can transform your recovery
• The power of building healthy habits and a supportive community
• Why pivoting your career can be the boldest, best decision you'll ever make

Here’s a glance at this episode:

• Recognize the signs of burnout early and take action to address it. Sarah shared how ignoring the physical symptoms like migraines and back pain led to her burnout. Being aware of the warning signs is crucial.
• Invest in yourself through coaching and therapy. Sarah worked with a high performance coach and a therapist to gain clarity on her true self and goals, which was pivotal in her recovery.
• Build healthy habits and a supportive community. Sarah focused on improving her physical health, sleep, nutrition, and surrounding herself with growth-minded friends to create a sustainable lifestyle.
• Be open to pivoting your career if it's not aligned with your values. Sarah had the courage to transition out of her accounting job into coaching, even though it meant starting over in a new field.

Sara’s journey is proof that burnout isn’t the end of the road—it’s often the push we need to step into something even greater.

Remember, burnout doesn’t just affect your work; it impacts your health, happiness, and overall quality of life. If you’re feeling stuck, take this as your sign to prioritize yourself—whether that means seeking support, setting better boundaries, or exploring a new path.

 "Don’t be afraid to look inward. Make friends with whoever your true self is, find that person inside of you, and see what they truly want. Because when you're aligned with that version of yourself, that's where your power comes from." — Sara Centanni
