In this Fusion Hack, Phoebe Hagan reframes burnout as a signal, not a sentence. She shares how giving yourself freedom—and getting honest about what you don’t want—can be the catalyst for real change. Instead of forcing the same routine harder, she walks through the mindset shift of choosing “I want something different,” then aligning your actions with what’s actually pulling you forward. For Phoebe, sustainable progress starts when motivation becomes a want-to, rooted in meaning and enjoyment—not pressure, guilt, or identity collapse.
A central theme is identity: Phoebe introduces “The Bodybuilder Box,” emphasizing that the how should form your identity, not the what. She uses a slingshot analogy to explain resistance—how feeling stretched or stuck can precede the release into your next level. Burnout, she argues, can sometimes be the best thing that happens because it forces clarity, boundaries, and reinvention. The episode closes with a practical challenge: stay curious about yourself, and keep showing up—even if it starts as “fake it until you make it”—until the mindset becomes embodied and automatic.
