In this episode, I share what burnout can quietly do to our relationships — how emotional exhaustion affects our capacity to connect, communicate, and stay present. I talk about the moment I realized I could no longer show up the way I always had, and what healing taught me about boundaries, friendship, and the difference between relationships that grow with us and ones that fall away.
This is a conversation about choosing honesty over performance, protection over pleasing, and connection rooted in truth rather than obligation.
5 reflections you’ll walk away with
- How burnout changes the way we relate and why it’s not a character flaw.
- What boundaries actually protect — and why they’re an act of respect.
- Why healing shifts relationship dynamics and what that reveals.
- The difference between emotional availability and emotional pressure.
- How to rebuild connection from clarity, not fatigue.
Burnout doesn’t destroy real connection. It reveals it.
So here’s the question I invite you to sit with:
What relationships in your life feel like they honor your energy today—and which ones are asking you to be someone you no longer are?
