You’re productive. Responsible. Reliable.
And completely exhausted.

In this solo episode of Licensed 2 Spill, Kristina Scaglione, LCSW-R unpacks why so many high-functioning people are actually living in survival mode and why burnout doesn’t mean you’re weak, it means you’ve been strong for too long.

This episode explores how over-functioning becomes a coping strategy, why rest feels uncomfortable instead of restorative, and what actually helps when your nervous system has never learned that slowing down is safe.

No toxic positivity.
No “just try harder.”
Just honest, therapist-level truth.
