Are you overwhelmed and exhausted by your everyday life…and also constantly worried because you’re not doing “enough?”

 

Most type-A, hyper-functioning people-pleasers think that the only solution to burnout is push through it … the idea of slowing down feels ridiculous and irresponsible. 

 

And so your life feels like a Groundhog Day Marathon. You force yourself to smile despite your growing sense of resentment and apathy...because #gratitude is supposed to help?

 

Cait Donovan is an international speaker, best-selling author and host of Fried: The Burnout Podcast. She’s here to explain the real source of your burnout and offer simple action steps that will put you on the path to recovery. 

 

In this episode:

• Learn the 3 symptoms that qualify as official burnout (yes, that's a real thing) and why “pushing through” makes things worse, not better

• Why people in helping professions experience higher rates of burnout due to the reasons they chose that profession in the first place

• The dark side of “helping” others that keeps you stuck in a cycle of victimhood, martyrdom and self-neglect

• How to use your resentment as an internal compass to set better boundaries (with yourself and others)

• Why “peeing when you have to pee” is the first step to healing burnout

• How to retrain the people around you to solve their own problems with the BRAT method
