Episode notes
Resentment might be the clearest early warning sign of burnout—and most people completely miss it. In this episode, we break down why resentment shows up, why it sticks around, and how it quietly drains your energy, focus, and performance. Resentment isn’t weakness. It’s a signal that something feels wrong and you don’t feel able to resolve it. Left unchecked, it keeps your nervous system on high alert, fuels overthinking, and blocks recovery. You’ll learn: What resentment actually is (and why it repeats) How stress and perceived threat amplify it Why it makes you feel stuck and powerless The hidden cost of “being right” Practical steps to release resentment and regain control How emotional intelligence replaces reaction with leadership This isn’t about suppressing how you feel. It’s about understanding it—and using it to take your power back. ----------------------------------- Resources: Leadership Performance Coaching Dex AI Coach Confidential. Expert. Free.
