We’ve been taught that resilience means bouncing back quickly.Reset. Push harder. Get your momentum back.But what if that mindset is the exact reason burnout keeps repeating?In this episode of the AvyHD Podcast, we talk about what burnout actually is — not just exhaustion, but a nervous system response to prolonged demand without protection.When your system collapses, trying to restart at full speed doesn’t create momentum.It creates re-injury.We explore:• why motivation disappears after burnout• how stress reorganizes the brain• why speed can feel unsafe after collapse• the difference between bouncing back and safe re-entry• how to rebuild trust with yourselfThis episode is especially relevant for ADHD thinkers, neurodivergent founders, and high-capacity creatives who keep pushing past their limits.You don’t need more discipline.You need a different recovery strategy.If you want support navigating this phase, you can book a Decision Strategy Call with me here:https://web.alistova.com/strategy-call-with-avy
