If your workouts are starting to feel like just another thing on your never-ending to-do list… or you feel more exhausted after the gym than before you went… this one’s for you.
In this episode, I’m breaking down the 5 signs your fitness routine might be secretly adding to your burnout and exactly what to do instead. I’m also sharing 7 simple but powerful hacks to help you get moving on the days when your motivation is zero (and when to skip the gym altogether without the shameful guilt we all have been conditioned to have).
We’re talking science-backed tips, ADHD-friendly tricks, and how to finally stop beating yourself up for needing rest. Because when done right, movement should leave you feeling energized, happy, and confident… not drained and depleted.
Whether you’re chronically burnt out, healing from hustle culture, or just tired of forcing workouts that no longer feel good… this one will help you reconnect with your body and build a movement practice that actually supports your health :)
