The Hidden Costs of Passion: How It Can Lead to Burnout and What to Do About It with Bri Conn, CFP
Everyone talks about following your passion—
but no one warns you about the hidden costs.
Entrepreneurs, financial professionals, and business owners push themselves to the edge in the name of success, only to wake up burned out, anxious, and disconnected from the life they worked so hard to build.
In this episode of The Childfree Wealth Podcast, I speak with Bri Conn, CFP from the Childfree Wealth Firm. We dig into the unspoken truth: passion can be both your greatest driver and your biggest downfall.
We’ll unpack how overcommitment, people-pleasing, and money stress fuel exhaustion, and why ignoring the signs puts your mental health and business at risk. Most importantly, you’ll hear what you can actually do about it—how to create boundaries, reset your nervous system, and reclaim work-life balance without losing your edge.
If you’ve ever wondered why “doing what you love” sometimes feels like it’s draining the life out of you, this conversation will hit hard.
Tune in and discover how to keep your passion and your sanity.
