Description

Ever had a moment where everything on the outside looks great, but inside you feel completely flat?

In this episode, I’m sharing a personal story that still hits hard. The morning after a huge work celebration, I woke up feeling totally empty. No energy. No spark. Just this heavy stillness. At the time, I didn’t know what it was. Now I do. It was burnout.

If you’re feeling wiped out, disconnected, or like you’re powering through life on fumes, this episode is for you.

 

🪫 This episode is for you if:

• You feel drained no matter how much you rest

• You’re saying yes to everything but still feel like it’s not enough

• You’re wondering what happened to the spark you used to have

Burnout isn’t a weakness. It’s a sign your body and mind need proper recovery, not just more productivity hacks.

 

💡 What we cover:

• The three key signs of burnout, backed by research

• The real difference between stress and stressors

• Why bubble baths and holidays don’t fix chronic burnout

• The stress cycle and why completing it matters

• Three types of burnout and how to recover from each one
