Ketamine Connections

Episode 63 | The Overdoer’s Wake-Up Call with Josh Terry

Anna Krishtal

Have you ever followed every rule, checked every box, done everything right—and still ended up exhausted, unfulfilled, or wondering why it isn’t working?

In this deeply honest conversation, Anna Krishtal sits down with Josh Terry to talk about the moment high-achieving people hit a wall and realize more effort isn’t the answer. Josh shares his personal story of following the rules into full-blown burnout—literally sitting in an ice bath until his body turned black and blue—and how that experience changed everything about the way he lives, works, and coaches others today.

Together they unpack:

  • 💡 The real definition of burnout: “Continually taking on tasks that require more energy than they give—until there’s nothing left.”
  • 🧠 How overdoing becomes a coping pattern for smart, motivated people—and why it feels so righteous.
  • 🔄 Josh’s antidote: doing what’s possible, not what’s “necessary,” and recognizing yourself as the variable in your success equation.
  • 🪞 Why burnout is really a crisis of hope—and how hope rebuilds when you honor your capacity.
  • 🌿 How altered states like ketamine (and other tools for state change) can create the awareness needed to rewrite your story.
  • ✨ The mindset shift from adding more to strategically removing what’s not working so your system can thrive again.

If you’ve ever been the person who prides themselves on pushing through, this episode is your permission slip to slow down, recalibrate, and start doing what’s truly possible.
