Peak season has a way of grinding people down. Not dramatically, but slowly, week by week, until you hit November running on empty and wondering why you do this.

In this episode, Sam and Katy talk through four categories of energy — physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual — and what it actually takes to protect each one across a full busy season. Sleep, hydration, client boundaries, scheduling buffers, letting go of outcomes you can't control…all contribute to preventing burnout.

You'll learn:

• How your physical habits directly determine how much mental energy you have at work

• What smart scheduling boundaries look like before busy season locks in

• Why emotional over-investment in clients quietly drains you and how to manage it

• How recovery rituals at the end of a long day change everything
