If you’ve ever felt exhausted, unseen, or like you had to earn every drop of love — this episode will speak directly to your heart.
Join Beatriz Bron and Helen Jun Chen as they explore a powerful truth: burnout isn’t always about workload… sometimes, it’s about the stories we learned as children.
Helen opens up about: • Growing up needing to achieve to receive attention • The perfectionism that followed her into adulthood • Emotional burnout and the loneliness behind it • The fear of judgment that silences your real voice • Reconnecting with her parents after years of distance • Learning the language of love she never received as a child • How balance is found — not instantly, but through self-awareness
This episode will help you: • Understand the hidden roots of burnout • Recognize the emotional needs you’ve been avoiding • Shift from external validation to internal grounding • Rewrite the story you’ve been telling yourself • Learn to receive love — without earning it
