Today, I’m peeling back the layers on a topic that touches all of us at some point: burnout. While we often link burnout directly to work overload, my recent conversations, particularly with my coach Julia, have shed light on a different angle—that personal life complexities can be just as much as a problem in leading us to feel overwhelmed and burnt out.

In this episode, I share about how non-work-related stressors have impacted me, illustrating that burnout isn't always about the professional grind. It’s about acknowledging the hefty load we carry outside of work—from family responsibilities to personal challenges. I’ll talk about the importance of recognizing these signs early and giving ourselves the grace to admit when we’re stretched too thin, not just at work but in our personal lives as well.

I’m covering:

• Misconceptions surrounding burnout
• Broadening the definition of it
• Strategies for real self-care
• How to look at your life and determine the areas that are causing you to feel burnt out
