The Hidden Rule Making High Achievers Exhausted

About this episode

Allyson Chavez discusses the Pressure Gospel and its impact on high achievers' exhaustion and self-worth.

You’re not exhausted because you’re failing. You’re exhausted because you’ve been living by a gospel God never wrote. In this episode, Allyson pulls back the curtain on The Pressure Gospel — the silent belief system that convinces high-capacity leaders that exhaustion = obedience, productivity = worthiness, and burnout = holiness.
