Where Your Energy and Profit Are Quietly Leaking
Where Your Energy and Profit Are Quietly Leaking
Written by Dr. Lauretta Justin, Leadership Strategist & Founder of CEO of You®
Most high-performing women don’t burn out because they lack discipline or resilience.
They burn out because they’re leading without visibility.
When you can’t see where energy, time, and profit are leaking, you compensate with yourself — your attention, your emotional labor, your availability.
That compensation works for a while.
Until it doesn’t.
Energy leaks don’t announce themselves.
They don’t show up as a single problem to solve.
They show up as:
Decisions that keep landing back on you
Conversations you replay long after they end
A calendar that feels full but strangely unproductive
A business that generates revenue, while you feel depleted
And the most dangerous part?
Without clarity, these patterns start to feel personal.
They’re not.
Every blind spot in your business eventually costs you money, energy, and time.
Money can be replaced.
Energy can be restored.
Time cannot.
This is why January is not a motivation problem.
It’s a diagnosis moment.
Before new goals, new commitments, or new strategies — you need visibility.
This week’s video explores:
Why burnout is rarely random
How to identify the specific drains that keep repeating
Why structural clarity matters more than effort
You can watch the full conversation here:
If you’re curious where your biggest leak may be — without pressure or commitment — the Burnout Audit exists to give you that visibility.
Clarity is not about doing more.
It’s about seeing what’s already costing you.
