How Career Burnout Makes You Forget Your Own Strengths
Season 2
Episode 90
Published 3 weeks, 1 day ago
Description
When burnout sets in, one of the first things to go is your ability to remember what you're actually good at. Lucas and Luna explore the 'strength amnesia' phenomenon — where exhaustion literally blocks access to your own competence memories. They break down the neuroscience, share a striking example from a senior product manager who forgot she was a top negotiator, and offer a practical retrieval exercise called the 'competence log' that takes three minutes a day. This episode helps listeners reconnect with their skills without adding more pressure.
