CHRIS DUCKER: Bouncing Back from Burnout

After experiencing burnout and adrenal fatigue, author and entrepreneur Chris Ducker realized hustling harder wasn’t the answer. He gets candid about burnout, recovery, and why joy-filled practices are essential for leaders who want to last. Two of his favorites: bonsai gardening and birdwatching. He also makes a compelling case for getting outside. It’s a refreshing invitation back to an embodied, sustainable way of life.

Memorable Quotes

“I hadn't necessarily been burning the candle on both ends. But what I had been doing was a little too much of pretty much everything.”
“You don't need to break in order to take a break.”
“Self-care actually is a strategy, and it's a strategy that you can use to your advantage, particularly from a business owner standpoint.”
“Ultimately you're the engine, you're the spark, you're the difference maker. But even engines need a little maintenance.”
“Hobbies, particularly creative hobbies, if you spend a minimum of two hours a week on your hobby, you will be as much as 30% more productive in your work.”
“Any kind of success that costs you your health or your family or your joy isn't really actually success.”
“We want that big win, that big roar. And you only get that by being really consistent and the real game here is patience. It's consistency, it's showing up when it's not sexy, when it's not flashy, it's doing the unsexy work.”

Key Takeaways

Burnout Isn’t Just Overwork. Stress from life, context, and even unsustainable pace can take you down. Your body always keeps the score.
Self-Care Is Strategy. Leaders last when they guard their health and energy—because even engines need maintenance.
Hobbies Heal. Joyful pastimes don’t just prevent burnout; they restore creativity and can boost productivity by up to 30%.
Step Outside. Just 15 minutes in nature can reset your mind and body. Make it nonnegotiable.
Small Shifts, Big Change. Consistent micro moves compound into lasting transformation.
