Life Doesn’t Stop: How to Reclaim Your Energy and Values with Cheryl Olfert

Cheryl and Emma dig into the tension between doing and being: why so many professionals and caregivers burn out while still loving their work. Cheryl explains how values misalignment, not just workload, drains energy, and how clarifying purpose becomes a compass for saying no with confidence. The conversation highlights achievable tools: brief coaching, group support, journaling prompts, behavioral nudges and brain-based techniques (like using posture, affirmations and small rituals) that influence mood and motivation. This episode is a toolkit for anyone juggling responsibility, grief or overwhelm and wanting to reclaim fulfillment.
