How To Love Yourself No Matter What

291. Why Emotional Burnout Happens (and How to Prevent It)


Listen Later

What most women call overwhelm or anxiety is often something deeper: emotional burnout — the kind that happens when you’ve spent years trying to tolerate your emotions instead of learning how to expand your capacity for them.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing a private training from the podcast I create exclusively for my clients. We’re breaking down the real difference between emotional tolerance (the rigid, finite jar that eventually cracks) and emotional capacity (the flexible container you can actually grow).

You’ll learn:

  • Why simply “tolerating” your emotions exhausts you
  • The glass-jar metaphor that explains emotional burnout perfectly
  • What true emotional capacity looks like — and why it’s a skill, not a personality trait
  • How nervous system regulation expands your capacity in real time
  • The 4 pillars of capacity-building (regulation, nature, pleasure, and thought quality)
  • How to stop outsourcing control and reclaim it in a way that’s actually sustainable
  • Simple daily practices to grow your internal bandwidth so you don’t get knocked over by life

If you’ve felt like you’re at the end of your rope — irritated, overstimulated, or one small thing away from snapping — this episode will help you understand why… and what to do next.
