Episode 10: Burnout

In a slight departure from our normal conversations, we tackle a heavier topic. Burnout is a serious problem which affects more and more people as we feel the pressure to do and be “more”. This week, Joe talks to Kristin, Lee, and Jason about what is, how it affects them, and what you can do to climb out of it.

TRIGGER WARNING this topic encompasses many sensitive issues including miscarriage, depression, anxiety, and more. Please, take this into consideration when listening to this episode, or enjoy another one of our other recordings instead. If you feel these or any other symptoms of burnout, depression, anxiety, or any other mental health crisis, please know you’re not alone and reach out for help. You are important. You matter. The world would not be the same without you. With love, the Wicked Cool Kids Community
