Burnout Isn’t Your Fault, It’s a System Failure with Lynn Colepaugh

Burnout isn’t a personal failure...it’s a system problem.

Alyssa Nolte and Lynn Colepaugh challenge the myth that long hours and hustle prove success. Instead, they rethink what really causes burnout and why fixing systems, not blaming people, is the key to healthier work and stronger results.

This episode makes the case for smarter ways to work, from reducing decision fatigue to using AI as a true partner. If you’ve ever felt stuck in the grind or questioned whether hustle culture is worth it, you’ll want to listen in.

3 Key Takeaways:

• Hustle culture rewards busyness, but real progress comes from focusing on quality over hours.
• Burnout drops when you simplify systems, delegate, and cut unnecessary tasks.
• AI can be your best “intern,” helping with research, personalization, and freeing time for high-value work.
