Burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s a state of complete mental, emotional, and physical depletion, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, detached, or running on empty, you’re not alone. In this episode of Take It Off, Jess and Julie open up about their own experiences with burnout, breaking down how it creeps up, the warning signs to watch for, and why so many women find themselves stuck in this cycle.

From chronic stress, emotional labor, and perfectionism to the unrealistic pressure to "do it all," they explore why burnout is more than just being tired—it’s a deeper issue rooted in nervous system dysregulation, overcommitment, and a lack of true rest. They also distinguish between everyday stress and full-blown burnout, helping you pinpoint where you are on the burnout spectrum before it becomes chronic.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of pushing through exhaustion, neglecting your own needs, and feeling guilty for resting, this conversation is for you. Awareness is the first step to healing, and in this episode, Jess and Julie help you recognize the signs, understand what’s really happening in your body, and start taking back your energy.
