Thank you to everyone who tuned into my live video!
Here is a summary of what I talked about:
INTRO
🧠 Burnout is the hidden epidemic.
It’s a mismatch or misalignment between:
what you give and what you get
what you hoped for and what’s actually happening
what lights you up and what wears you down
💬 Burnout isn’t failure — it’s misalignment.
3 EARLY SIGNS OF INVISIBLE BURNOUT
1️⃣ Brain Fog – You’re functioning, but fried.
2️⃣ Barriers – You’re masking, pretending, over-performing.
3️⃣ Blunting – You feel flat. Joy doesn’t land.
3 WAYS TO BEGIN RECOVERY
1️⃣ Balance – Go gently. Slow is sustainable.
2️⃣ Boundaries – Say “no” or “not now.”
3️⃣ Belonging – Reach out. Don’t carry it alone.
REFLECTIVE Qs:
Something for you to ask, pause and reflect on:
🌀 What’s one thing burnout has taken from you?
🌀 What would it feel like to rest for 10 minutes without guilt?
