Adult Child 188 - It's Okay To Not Be Okay: Confronting Emotional Exhaustion and Burnout
BREATHE TO HEAL: A 6-Week Journey of Somatic Release - Get your spot here LIMITED CAPACITY --> adultchildpodcast.com/breathetoheal
I’m pulling back the curtain on a deeply personal moment from last week—one that left me emotionally drained but ultimately led to a powerful breakthrough.
We’re diving into:
✨ What emotional exhaustion and burnout really feel like (and why they’re so common for those of us healing from dysfunctional families).
✨ How unresolved grief amplifies burnout and keeps us stuck in cycles of overthinking and self-doubt.
✨ The connection between burnout and functional freeze—and why procrastination and feeling stuck are not failures.
✨ The importance of pausing, resting, and giving yourself permission to step back.
If you’ve been feeling drained, overwhelmed, or like you’re treading water but not moving forward, this episode is for you. Let’s talk about why rest isn’t just necessary—it’s revolutionary
