Ep. 108: Burnout isn't exhaustion, it's ...

Valerie Jones
About this episode

Most women think burnout just means being tired. But what if it's acutally a signal - a brutal nudge - to stop abandoning yourself? 

In this episode, I sit down with Leadership Coach and master hypnotherapist, Amy Green Smith, to talk about the real reasons women burn out and how to wake up before it wrecks you. 

We get into: 

  • The sneaky symptoms of engagement burnout and systemic burnout
  • Why what you chronically complain about is your biggest clue 
  • How to communicate your needs without guilt or drama 
  • Why women struggle to receive help (and how to change it) 
  • The link between your body and your unmet emotional needs 

This fun, powerful conversation is your permission slip to stop playing nice and start listening to yourself.
