Understanding and Preventing Burnout
Burnout isn’t just about feeling tired—it’s your body’s way of saying “enough is enough.”
From chronic fatigue in 2002 to Fibromyalgia in 2018 and even a heart attack at 45, I know firsthand how burnout can creep up like a frog in boiling water—slowly, until it’s too late.
I chat about why it’s so important to recognise your limits, set boundaries, and build systems that support your well-being. My insights are a reminder that recovery from burnout is tough, but avoiding it in the first place is much easier when you know the signs.
If you’re feeling the pressure or just want to make sure you don’t hit breaking point, this episode is a must-listen. It’s time to prioritise yourself—because no one else can do it for you.
About Nic:
I'm Nic Davies, The Mental Load Mentor. I help business owners get life organised at home, so they can reclaim their headspace, time and energy needed to grow and run a successful business.
I've navigated through adverse times with hard-hitting curveballs that have forced me to re-assess the importance of self-care and having firm boundaries in place, as well as becoming more organised in the day-to-day running of home, business, and life in general.
My mission is to make sure that everyone has an equal opportunity to create a business they love, without feeling held back by household obligations, or adversity. Drawing upon a diverse range of life experience, I'm building an online community that supports anyone who is struggling to balance home life and business together.
