36. What to Do When You're Officially Burnt Out

This is not an episode about avoiding burnout, because sometimes you can't. And Sam thinks Big Corporate is always pushing "avoid burnout" propaganda to prevent us from actually taking the breaks we need to heal. And also...she's burnt out. Lol. So today, we're skipping all the toxic positivity and getting real, raw, and honest about burnout—plus, how to recover from it—including how to plan, prepare for, structure, and return from an ACTUAL break/vacation. This one's good. Listen to this episode if you've hit the wall.
