Description

How do you know when you’re burnt out—and what do you actually do about it?
In this episode, I’m breaking down how to spot the signs of burnout, what short-term recovery looks like, and how to build long-term prevention strategies. I’m pulling from the book Burnout (a forever favorite of mine), but also sharing some of my own experiences with “micro-burnout”—that week-to-week fatigue that sneaks up on us even with things we love.

We’ll get into:

• The sneaky signs of burnout you might be writing off as “just being negative”
• Short-term recovery: completing the stress cycle & giving your body the signal it’s safe
• How crying, laughing, and even yawning can reset your system
• Why suppressed anger especially drains women of energy & purpose
• Long-term prevention: rest, boundaries, purpose, and community

Because burnout isn’t just about work—it’s about how we carry stress, and how we learn to let it go.
