Lately, I’ve been having so many conversations—with friends, colleagues, and clients—about burnout. To be clear, they’re not calling it burnout. They’re just lamenting about life in general and how their body-minds feel.

Unfortunately, the word “stress” has become such a commonly used term and so normalized in our society that when I try to broach this topic, I often hear, “I know stress is bad but let’s talk about XYZ diet or XYZ workout and why I should follow it to fix my [symptom].” This pattern is indicative of a major contributor to burnout: not understanding and managing our stress response.

There are several other factors that contribute to our burnout.

Join me this week as I cover three of the most common ones.
