Are You Missing These 10 Subtle Signs of Burnout as a Highly Sensitive Person?

If you're constantly exhausted, snapping at loved ones, or feeling emotionally numb, you might be facing more than just a rough week—burnout could be quietly taking hold. As a highly sensitive person (HSP), your nervous system picks up on subtleties others might ignore. This episode helps you recognize when your sensitivity is signaling something deeper.

You’ll learn how to distinguish between everyday exhaustion and true burnout, understand why common symptoms often go unnoticed, and discover simple ways to reverse the cycle even when your schedule feels packed. If you’ve been feeling off but can’t pinpoint why, this conversation offers clarity and relief.

In this episode, you'll discover:

  1. The 10 most overlooked symptoms of burnout in highly sensitive people and why they often go unrecognized.

  2. How to tell if you're dealing with typical tiredness—or if burnout is setting in.

  3. Micro-rest strategies and mindset shifts that can help you reset your energy without overhauling your life.

Press play now to reconnect with your energy, protect your sensitivity, and find peace before burnout takes over.
