199. Burnout and Overtraining - Warning Signs, Symptoms, and Strategies for How to Avoid It


Listen Later

The Superwoman Spirit in you is amazing! But if you’re not careful, you can tip over the edge and fall, completely burnt out and overtrained. And it’s extremely difficult to pump the breaks and slow down when the messages you get everyday are to do MORE, work HARDER, and PUSH YOURSELF.

Right now, I’m witnessing so many women on the verge of mental burnout and physical overtraining without even realizing it. This could be you. And if you don’t know what the warning signs and symptoms are, and the heed that warning, you could find yourself severely injured, sickly, lethargic, and completely depressed about your health journey.

Tune in to this episode to:

  • See how burnout and overtraining are different, but they often go hand in hand,
  • Learn the signs and symptoms of burnout and overtraining,
  • Find out how you can completely avoid it, still reach your goals, and have a sustainable routine for years to come!

You’ll learn how you can still be Superwoman, while honoring your body, and even your mind, knowing you’re not a machine.
