Burnout Recovery: Why Rest Isn’t Working (and What Actually Does)

Have you ever woken up after a full night of sleep and still felt exhausted? You’re not alone—and it’s not because you’re doing something wrong. In this episode of Love Your Life On Purpose, Michelle explores why traditional rest and self-care often don’t relieve burnout, and what you can do instead.

You’ll discover:

• Why sleep and rest aren’t always enough for true recovery
• How hustle culture, “no pain no gain,” and constant self-sacrifice harm your wellbeing
• The shift from treating your body as a problem to partnering with it
• The role of rhythms, boundaries, delegation, and external support in sustainable wellness
• How to create systems so self-care isn’t just another chore but part of who you are

If rest alone isn’t fixing your burnout, it’s time to approach your wellbeing differently.
