16. How to Recover From Burnout (Hint: The Answer is not "Self-Care)

Did you know the 88% of Black Women report having felt burnout sometimes, often, or always? That's a super high percentage, but I can't say I'm surprised. You may have noticed that I've been a little bit off my posting schedule. Well guess why!? Your girl has coming out of the depths of burnt out.

So I set aside my original plans for this episode to do a deep dive into all things burn out. What is it? How can we identify burnout (it's not as cut and dry as the dictionary definition might make it seem)?

When you google "how to recover from burnout" so much of the advice is incredibly unhelpful. Telling me to prioritize sleep and self-care is just...obvious. Of course I know I should do that! But when we really are bogged down by stress coming at us from all sides and it feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel, we need a little bit more than platitudes.

So, I'm sharing the tools and resources that have been tremendously helpful for me in actually navigating burnout instead of shaming myself for not being on top of my self-care. I hope this episode is helpful to you if you're experiencing burnout like myself and many of my friends are right now!

We're chatting about: 

•  Why I think the dictionary definition of burnout is not the full picture
• The four warning signs that signal to me that I'm burnt out 
• The refuel method my coach and I created to identify burn out and take care of myself through it
