Real Influence w/ Joey Vaillancourt25 Mai

116.Live Coaching Session on Overwhelm, Anxiety, and Burnout Recovery

What happens when the person teaching the tools becomes the one struggling to use them?

In this episode of the Real Influence podcast, I sit down with my wife, Monika, for a raw and unfiltered live coaching session on overwhelm, anxiety, burnout, and suffering.

Instead of speaking from the other side of the breakthrough, I open up in real time about feeling mentally overloaded, emotionally exhausted, disconnected from clarity, and trapped under pressure from multiple areas of life.

Together, we unpack:
• why high performers get stuck in overwhelm
• how nervous system regulation affects the way we think
• the hidden identity patterns behind burnout
• why suffering comes from meaning, not circumstances
• how coaching helps uncover blind spots
• what it actually looks like to rewire your brain in real time

If you've been carrying pressure silently while trying to hold everything together… this episode is for you.

This isn't polished self-help.

It's a real conversation in the middle of the struggle.

TheGreatLifeExperiment.ca — You built the life. You hit the goals. But the pressure never actually left.

The Great Life Experiment is a free 30-day challenge with one powerful question each day to help uncover the unconscious patterns driving stress and suffering.
