Burnout doesn’t just show up at work—it follows you to happy hours, coffee chats, and awkward networking mixers. In this episode of The Balanced Recruiter, we’re unpacking social fatigue—what it is, why it happens, and how to protect your social battery without ghosting everyone you know.

From spotting “ugh” events on your calendar to knowing which connections recharge you versus drain you, you’ll learn practical ways to guard your time, energy, and peace. Whether you’re a recruiter, job seeker, or just a human navigating too many invites, this episode will help you find your balance.

Protect your calendar. Protect your energy. Protect your peace.

New episodes every week — follow, comment, share, scream into your pillow — whatever feels good today.
