Burnout hits differently when you're single. There's no one to pick up the slack, share the mental load, or notice before you crash. If you've come out of a breakup already running on empty, or you've been carrying too much alone for too long - this episode is what you need.
Irralee Andrzejowska (SIRPA practitioner and physiotherapist) and Dr Michael Leiter (burnout researcher and author) reveal why burnout is so much harder to recover from when you're doing life alone, and give you a real, practical path back to yourself.
Bree shares her own experience of burning out as single woman; living alone and struggling to get ahead financially.
In this episode you'll learn:
• The signs and stages of burnout: how to spot them before you completely crash
• Why burnout recovery is harder when you're single and have no one to catch you
• How to start recovering your energy without having to do it all alone
• Workplace burnout — how to set boundaries before you hit the wall
• Self-compassion practices that actually help when everything feels overwhelming
• Why burnout and heartbreak often arrive together and how to address both
Bree is currently in Mumbai, India.
