Emily starts us off.Įmily Nagoski: So, the original definition of burnout from Herbert Freudenberger back in 19- I think, '76 included three components. And that, it turns out, is how you fix burnout. When we feel all the way through them, we get to connection to the people we love and to ourselves.

The fix to burnout and exhaustion and to all the bad feels we're feeling is not a secret. We talk about emotional exhaustion, how emotions work in our bodies physically, and we get to the fix. Emily, Amelia, and I talk about what causes burnout. They have a great book out, it's called Burnout: The Secret To Unlocking The Stress Cycle.

Six months of being stressed out about everything from COVID to the election, to childcare for my toddler.
