The Roots of Burnout

Burnout often originates from early life experiences, not just from demanding situations like motherhood or work. The speaker reflects on their childhood, revealing that feelings of anxiety and self-isolation contributed to a long-term struggle with burnout. Living in a constant state of stress can lead to emotional numbness, which then manifests as burnout as responsibilities increase in adulthood. This realization emphasizes the need to acknowledge personal history when understanding the roots of burnout.
