Did you know that, according to a Gallup poll, women in America are more likely to experience burnout in their lifetime than men? 

So many hardworking women push their bodies and minds to the limit trying to do everything for everyone, that they end up sabotaging themselves in the process. 

Even the side-effects of burnout have been normalized in our hustle culture, as brain fog, extreme fatigue, and racing thoughts are dismissed simply as “mom-brain” or the price of productivity.

But you do NOT have to live with perpetual burnout!

Which is why I’m SO excited to share this conversation I had with self-proclaimed burnout survivor and licensed therapist, Erica Cuni  (@theburnoutprofessor).

In this episode of the HTS podcast, you’ll get a behind the scenes look at: 

• Why women are experiencing a burnout epidemic
• 3 red flags that you may be headed for burnout yourself
• How to heal from burnout & prevent it from happening to you

If you are ready to ditch the heartburn of burnout, then tune in here! ❤️‍🔥

Have you ever tried using “Dr. WebMD” to diagnose those nagging symptoms, only to be left feeling more confused, anxious, and misunderstood than before?

While it may seem easier than finding a trained healthcare or wellness provider, using generalized resources will always give you general, and often inaccurate, results.

That’s because only a diverse and specialized wellness team can provide you with personalized and sustainable answers, for the long haul!

Which is why I am SO excited to share this conversation I had with Active Life Founder and coach Dr. Sean Pastuch (@drseanpastuch)!

In this episode, Dr. Sean and I discuss:

• Why creating a personalized health care team is crucial for your long term goals
• How to overcome obstacles in your life that keep you from seeking care
• 3 questions to ask yourself to start building your wellness dream team TODAY

If you are ready to find freedom from the endless Google searches and Facebook groups, then tune in now to find out how to assemble a healthcare dream team that works for you!

Have you ever felt like there are not enough hours in the day to accomplish everything on your to-do list and still find time to fit in a workout?

So many hardworking women make the mistake of thinking that when schedule fatigue hits, the first activity to get cut is their own self-care.

The reality is, the feelings of burnout and guilt will only increase when you put energy building activities on the back burner. 

Think about it, how will your battery ever get recharged if you don’t stop to plug it in?

The key to breaking this vicious cycle of fatigue, burnout and guilt is NOT simply having “more time,” the key is better time prioritization!

That’s why in this episode of the HTS podcast, we’ll dive deeper to discover:

• Why "more time" is NOT the solution to fit fitness into your schedule
• What Godly self-care is, and how can you practice it without feeling selfish
• 3 simple strategies to help you prioritize your fitness goals everyday

Tune in now!
