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.
