You’re Not Broken—You’re Burned Out: Why...

Jessika Brown- Registered Dietitian, Empowered Eating Coach, Intuitive Eating Mentor, Boy Mom
About this episode

If one more person tells you to fix your burnout with meditation or a bubble bath and it makes you feel like smacking someone...You’re not alone! Because when you’re already running on empty, another “should” just adds fuel to the fire.

In this episode, we’re tossing the fluffy self-care clichés and getting real about what actually helps. Spoiler: it’s not 15 minutes of forced stillness—it’s reconnection, biofeedback, and values-based nutrition.

We’re diving into: 💥 What burnout is really trying to tell you 🧭 How your Value Compass can realign your habits 📊 The key biofeedback signs your body might be screaming 🥦 Why nutrition can feel like a spa day, not another coping tool 🧠 3 nutrition strategies to support your adrenals (without adding stress)

If you’re tired of being tired, press play. This isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing what matters.

🎧 Let’s trade burnout for alignment, one empowered bite at a time.
