The Quiet Burnout: When Your Body Says No Before You Do


Listen Later

Burnout doesn’t always roar in flames—sometimes it whispers. It shows up in the sigh before you answer another email, in the irritation that flares over small things, or in the weight behind the words “I’m fine.”

In this episode of Your Odyssey Podcast, Tara and Karen explore quiet burnout—the slow, subtle exhaustion that creeps in when you keep pushing through instead of slowing down. Together, they unpack:

  • The early signs of burnout most people overlook

  • ⚡ How your body says “no” before your mind admits it

  • Why rest, boundaries, and self-trust are antidotes to burnout—not luxuries

    If you’ve been running on fumes, this one's for you.

    Listen now and start learning how to hear your body’s whispers before they turn into screams.
