Burnout is real, and for mental health professionals, it can hit even harder. In today’s episode, I sit down with Cynthia Welsh, a clinical social worker with 25+ years of experience, to talk about how we can protect our energy while doing the work we love.

We get into why burnout is so common—especially for women and moms—how to recognize the warning signs, and what it actually takes to recover. Cynthia shares practical strategies for setting boundaries, taking meaningful breaks, and making self-care non-negotiable.

If you’ve ever felt drained, overwhelmed, or on the edge of burnout, this conversation is for you. Let’s talk about what it really takes to sustain ourselves in this field.
