    Why High-Capacity People Burn Out — The Voice You Should Stop Obeying

    Most high-capacity people aren’t exhausted because they’re doing too much. They’re exhausted because they’ve been obeying expectations God never assigned. In today’s episode, Allyson reveals the hidden reason your energy, clarity, and joy have been draining—even when life “looks fine.” This isn’t about burnout. It’s about misdirected obedience, silent rules, and the pressure-driven identity you were never meant to sustain. You’ll learn how to recognize the voice of pressure, the voice of fear, and the voice of God—and why your exhaustion is actually a holy invitation back to your true design.
