Over-productivity is real. And it can quietly destroy you.

In this episode of Dear Young Person, I talk about something I had to learn the hard way: you can hit your goals, tick every box, and still be deeply exhausted.

For a long time, I was running on my to-do list. I loved the feeling of productivity — finishing tasks, achieving goals, moving forward. On the outside, it looked like progress.

But my body wasn’t having it.

My mental health started struggling.

And I realised I wasn’t just productive — I was overproductive.

In this conversation, we unpack:

👉🏻 The difference between healthy ambition and overworking

👉🏻 Subtle signs of burnout

👉🏻 Why rest is not weakness

👉🏻 How to recover when your body forces you to slow down

Work is a gift from God.

But so is rest.

I also share practical ways I’ve learned to handle burnout

For the believer, burnout can sometimes be an invitation — a retreat with God. A call to be still. A call to tell Him how you really feel and embrace His rest.

If you’ve been pushing non-stop…

If your to-do list owns you…

If your body is sending warning signs…

This episode is for you.
