High Performance without Burnout | with Frank and Sabrina Szabo


Season 1 Episode 17


What's your biggest takeaway?

Many believe that burnout is just about overworking. But in many cases, burnout actually stems from being underutilized. 

In this episode of The Jump Moment, I talk with Frank and Sabrina Szabo, founders of /chaynj/ (pronounced “Change”), a coaching business dedicated to helping high performers prevent and recover from burnout. We discuss the dangers of tying your identity to performance, the fears and transferable skills involved in making the jump to freelance, and the critical role of community in sustaining your business.

Episode Highlights:

  • Burnout is often about underutilization rather than overwork
  • High performance can be healthy with the right rhythms
  • The tension of finding transferable skills when leaving a long career
  • Why fear is natural (and even helpful) when starting something new
  • Community as both protection against burnout and fuel for freelancing

About Frank and Sabrina Szabo:

Frank and Sabrina Szabo are partners in life and co-founders of /chAYnj/, a coaching practice focused on those who operate under constant emotional demand and high responsibility. As a Hungarian-Brazilian team, they bring cultural depth, grounded presence, and hard-earned insight to their work. Their coaching supports individuals who hold it all together at the office, at home, and often in silence. Because they understand the weight of that role firsthand, they help clients recover clarity, agency, and a sense of self.

Sabrina is a leadership coach, educator, and ICF Foundation Ambassador. She currently pursues a PhD in Intercultural Education and holds a Master’s in Global Leadership. Frank is a high-performance coach and author who has spent over twenty years supporting Olympic athletes and pressure-tested teams. In addition, he holds certifications in EQ-i 2.0® and EQ 360. Both Frank and Sabrina are ICF Professional Certified Coaches. Together, they remain committed to making emotional well-being both practical and deeply personal.
