September 10, 2025How To Deal with Burnout, Through A Feminist Lens with Amelia Nagoski, author of Burnout
Burnout isn’t a sign you’re failing. It’s proof the system was never designed for you to thrive. Especially if you belong to a historically oppressed identity.
In this episode, Sarah talks with Amelia Nagoski, DMA—co-author of Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle—about what burnout really is, how to recognize it, and the ways we can begin to recover.

You’ll hear:
How burnout differs from stress and exhaustion
Why “emotions are tunnels” and what happens when we get stuck inside them
The science behind the 42% rest rule—and what rest can actually look like
