128: Burned out? You're over-available to everyone & everything, here's weird things I’m doing.

Main Points Burnout seems to be a trending word, so what do we do? It’s not about working harder. In this episode I share: Why you SHOULDN’T be doing a lot in 1 day (it takes ~ 23 minutes to refocus) Why “doing nothing” is actually how clarity forms (there’s science behind it) Why and how over-availability becomes a survival skill especially for women My results of when I stopped designing my life around “urgency” Resources Mentioned: Episode 110: How EMDR Therapy HEALED Me (& why you might need it too) with Jennifer Oh, LCSW.
