30. Managing End-of-Year Burnout + Slowing Down without Giving Up
Episode 30! Can you believe it? It means the world that you're here with me.
This week, I'm giving you a gentle but necessary pep talk. This season is heavy; the collective fatigue is real, the days are shorter, our calendars are full, and our bodies are craving slower rhythms. I’ve been feeling it deeply too. But slowing down doesn’t mean giving up. It doesn’t mean abandoning your habits, your vision, or the person you’re becoming.
Today I’m sharing why this season makes everything feel harder, why it’s still worth staying connected to your goals, and how to keep moving forward with softness and intention rather than urgency. This isn’t about hustling to the finish line — it’s about staying aligned, even in the smallest ways, so you don’t lose the self-trust you’ve been building all year.
Inside the episode, I walk you through:
Why we’re all so collectively tired right now (and why nothing is wrong with you)
The difference between slowing down and throwing in the towel
The myth of the “New Year reset” and why January isn’t the magical restart we think it is
How to stay connected to your vision without overwhelming yourself
Simple ways to rebuild motivation when you’re exhausted
Why lowering your expectations is actually an act of self-love
How micro-habits build self-trust (even something as small as emptying the dishwasher!)
Questions you can journal on to reconnect with your “why”
How to create a winter-aligned plan for the rest of your year
I also share how I’m personally navigating this season, how I’m honoring my own low energy, and what I’m choosing to prioritize as I finish the year with intention.
I’m currently enrolling for 1:1 wellness coaching. If you’re ready for personalized support in becoming the healthiest, most grounded version of yourself, you can schedule a free discovery call using the link below. My 12-week program is $300 off for January start dates.
