This episode is personal but relatable as I unpack a recent realisation I had in a psychiatry session. It helped me to understand depletion and burnout, through a different lens. I share how this led me to re-visit concepts like The Spoon Theory and energy budgeting, I talk about the invisible toll of certain types of communication, the difference between restorative rest and numbing out, and why some days feel impossible even when we “haven’t done that much.”

This episode weaves in both personal reflection and practical, evidence-backed tools that have helped me start to rebuild: from dopamine resets and nature breaks, to small but powerful shifts in how I move through the day. If you’ve ever felt like you’re running on empty in a world that keeps asking for more.I hope this conversation gives you both comfort and clarity.
