Episode 42 - Dr. Julie Hanks, licensed psychotherapist, author, and host of the Ask Dr. Julie Hanks podcast, joins us for a powerful conversation about burnout, self-worth, and the unrealistic expectations women carry. With nearly 30 years of experience working with women, Dr. Hanks dives deep into the mental, emotional, and cultural roots of burnout—and what we can do to heal. From letting go of perfectionism to redistributing invisible labor at home, this episode is packed with compassionate, practical guidance for any woman ready to reclaim her energy and peace.

This episode is full of real talk, actionable strategies, and gentle truths that will help you reclaim your energy, your time, and your sense of self. We’ll explore what burnout actually is and how to spot it early, how to navigate the impossible expectations placed on women, and the role perfectionism and the mental load play in exhaustion.
