Today I'm joined by Dr. Laurel Mellin, health psychologist, NY Times bestselling author and single mom of three. Dr. Mellin brings decades of brain science and lived experience to this empowering conversation as she talks about Emotional Brain Training and how we can calm the stress pathways that fuel burnout using simple, scientific tools. This isn't about being more disciplined. It's about learning how to turn down the stress in your brain so you can finally feel in control again.

In this episode of Overcaffeinated and Out of Effs we learn about Dr. Mellin's personal story as a single mom juggling three kids and a full-time career and how she rebuilt her emotional resilience using the same tools she now teaches. We also learn about what burnout does to your brain, why rewiring it is the key to breaking burnout cycles, and how to use EBT tools whenever and wherever the overwhelmed moment hits.
