Episode 164
Do you ever feel burnt out? Do you need help establishing boundaries?
My guest on episode 164 is the amazing Cait Donovan, who has made it her mission to share her expertise on burnout with others, after her own experience with it.
After years of feeling exhausted and seeking external validation, Cait realized that she was burnt out. She dove into research about the subject and has transformed herself into a guide for people going through their burnout. During this episode Cait also talks about setting up boundaries and the impacts resentment has on us. Burnout is something that requires recovery, and whether it's being aware of what you want or upholding the boundaries you put in place, Cait beautifully explains ways to help you bounce back.
