Why Self-Care Will Not Fix Burnout

As an entrepreneur, caregiver, and productivity coach, I've learned a critical truth about burnout that most people miss. It's not just about being tired—it's about a complete system shutdown that no bubble bath can repair.

Burnout is more than occasional stress or a bad week. It's a persistent state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion that can derail your personal and professional life. 

When you're experiencing burnout, simple self-care strategies like a massage or a weekend getaway become nothing more than temporary band-aids on a much deeper wound. 

In this episode, I'll break down what burnout really looks like, why traditional self-care approaches fall short, and provide actionable strategies to help you recover and thrive. 

Whether you're a high-achieving professional, an entrepreneur, or someone feeling overwhelmed by life's demands, understanding burnout is the first step to reclaiming your energy and passion.
