Feeling stretched thin, burnt out, or like you’re running on fumes?
You’re not alone.
In this episode, host Allesanda Tolomei-Hard (aka Mrs. Hard) shares simple but powerful tools to help you refill your energetic cup so you can feel like yourself again—without needing to run away from your life.
Whether you’re a caregiver, a people-pleaser, or someone who naturally takes on too much, you’ll hear:
-Why burnout cycles are normal (and how to recognize them early)
-A 3-step check-in to know whether a responsibility is truly yours—or one you need to lovingly release
-How conflict, though uncomfortable, can actually create growth and stronger connections
-The practice of detachment and why it restores peace for both you and your loved ones
-A guided cord cutting meditation to call back your energy and create healthy energetic boundaries
-Practical reminders that your worth doesn’t come from doing it all—and life will still move forward when you take time to rest
By the end, you’ll have gentle but effective practices you can use anytime: in the car after a draining day, before bed, or first thing in the morning to reset your energy.
