Welcome back to Props with Pop! Today we are discussing burn out stories people wrote into us. Burn out is a very real feeling we all experience, especially in high intense and high pressure roles, but it can happen to anyone. Some solutions Becs & Pops talk about are staying hydrated during long shifts, talking to experienced people in your industry who have handled it well, and setting clear boundaries between your work life and your personal life. 

Here are the stories we talk about:

1. Megan, 29F nurse, experiencing burn out. How do you know when you are just normal tired from being an adult versus actually heading into burnout? And how do you stop feeling bad for not having the same energy you used to?
2. Carlos, 38M truck driver, experiencing financial panic. How do you keep rising prices from taking over your whole mindset? How do you stay calm and not live in constant financial panic when everything feels expensive all at once?
3. Tara, 22F freshly graduated student, feeling behind applying for jobs. How do you keep from feeling down when life feels paused and everyone else seems to be moving? How do you stay hopeful in a chapter that feels so uncertain?
4. Darrell, 47M dad of a teenager, feeling easily irritated about the small stuff. How do you get back to gratitude when negativity starts feeling like your default setting? How do you change your mindset without forcing it or pretending life is perfect?
5. Linda, 56F looking for purpose after being an empty nester. What do you do when you are not falling apart, but you are also not okay? How do you climb out of that quiet kind of sadness before it becomes your normal?
