Ever wake up feeling like the day’s already defeated you? That’s where Mario started — stuck in a funk, battling the weight of burnout, pressure, and mental overload. But Pat, being the friend he is, didn’t let him stay there. What followed was one of the realest conversations we've had yet about the power of boundaries, the importance of protecting your energy, and why saying "no" is sometimes the most healing thing you can do.

In this episode, we break down:

• Why boundaries aren't selfish — they're survival.
• How to support a friend who's mentally checked out.
• The quiet signs of burnout we often ignore.
• The guilt that comes with putting yourself first — and how to move past it.
• Why protecting your peace is a daily practice, not a one-time decision
