In this conversation with Pam Dwyer, we name something a lot of high-functioning people live with but rarely talk about: Quiet Depletion.
It’s that slow drain beneath the surface when you look like you’re doing “great” to everyone else, but inside you’re running on fumes, especially if you’re a leader, caregiver, or creative carrying a lot of weight.
We also unpack Delay the Binge, Pam’s idea of building a pause before the reaction, the coping pattern, or the burnout. Not pressure. Not shame. Just space, enough space to choose differently.
This is a natural continuation of our last conversation:
Plus One (how the past shapes us) → Quiet Depletion (the hidden cost of nonstop pushing) → Delay the Binge (the purposeful pause that interrupts the pattern).
If you’ve been holding it together for everybody, but you know you’re slowly leaking energy… this episode will feel like someone finally turned the lights on.
