Burnout is everywhere right now—and if you’ve been feeling foggy, drained, or like you’ve lost your sparkle, this Episode 200 conversation will feel like someone finally handed you a flashlight and a map.
In this milestone episode of Wellness in Every Season, Autumn sits down with Deborah Mallow (aka “your ray of sunshine”)—a lifelong New Yorker, motivational speaker, and positive energy coach who helps people have fewer days that suck without forcing fake positivity. Deborah shares her lived experience of burnout from high-performance pressure (including her journey to becoming a #1 biotech pharmaceutical sales rep), the moment she hit her breaking point, and the small, consistent shifts that helped her reclaim joy, calm, and self-trust over time.
Together, Autumn and Deborah unpack what burnout can look like across different lived realities—including ADHD, autism, medical professions, and workaholic culture—plus how to spot your early warning signs before you crash. You’ll also hear practical ways to “flip the script,” protect your energy, build micro-moments of happiness into real life, and create positive patterns that actually stick.
