Ever been so exhausted that even relaxing feels like another task on your to-do list? Same. In this episode, we’re talking all things burnout—why it sneaks up on us, why we suck at resting, and how to actually unwind without guilt. If your idea of "self-care" is scrolling until your eyeballs hurt, or if you physically cannot sit still without feeling unproductive, this one’s for you. We’ll break down the difference between numbing out and actually recharging, plus share some easy, low-effort ways to trick your brain into chilling out. So put on your comfiest sweats, grab a snack, and let’s figure out how to actually relax for once.
