In this episode Tyler , Brannon and Ozzie talks about the reality of recovery burnout—how to know whether you’re burned out from your own growth work or from carrying other people’s recovery, and what “taking a step back” can look like without abandoning your values. They dig into misalignment, boundaries, seasons of life, and the guilt that shows up when you’re serving others while juggling family, parenting challenges, and building a business. Along the way, they talk about over-attachment, identity, and why recovery is more than meetings—it’s a lifestyle you live and adapt as life changes.
