On this week’s episode we’re discussing – are you addicted to cortisol? It’s been a while since we did an entire episode on burnout, so we’re diving right in. Are you burnt out and you don’t even know it? Or are you totally burnt out and have no idea what to do about it? We’re talking about what it means to be functionally dysregulated; when you can’t relax and chill OR you’re catatonic and doom scrolling when you finally get an opportunity to sit. We also talk about the different stages of burnout, and what people try to do to get out of burnout that actually pushes them further into it.
