#5 Burnout is a Bad Romance: The Love Story You Actually Deserve What Healing After Burnout Really Looks Like (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Welcome to the final episode of our “Burnout is a Bad Romance” series. If you’ve been with us through all five parts — thank you. This is where it all comes together. In this episode, we explore what healing from burnout actually looks like — the messy, non-linear, circular reality of it.

Read excerpt
If you’re feeling overwhelmed and exhausted and wondering if what you’re experiencing is burnout, this episode will help you understand what’s happening beneath the surface. In this first installment of a new mini-series, I draw a striking parallel between the early stages of burnout and the early stages of a toxic relationship — because in both, the warning signs hide behind something that feels good: passion, purpose, and being needed.
