Good morning!
Kathy, a 48-year-old CEO, burst into tears one morning while trying to get going for the day. After years of juggling single parenthood and a demanding career, exhaustion, weight gain, and sleepless nights had left her completely depleted. In the lingo of our age, she was burnt out.
Burnout is real, and it affects not only CEOs and single moms but many of us with busy schedules. We often believe that an overpacked calendar and lack of sleep are signs of being productive, the false ideal of our age. But this mindset isn’t sustainable—it’s a highway to health issues.
As humans, we have limits. Pushing ourselves beyond them robs us of joy and puts our well-being at risk. Hard times are inevitable, but burnout sets in when it feels like that’s all there is.
Clinical nutritionist and naturopath Sheridan Genrich helps identify early signs of burnout, offering lifestyle solutions to restore balance and prevent burnout without the need for pharmaceuticals.
Wishing you all the best and some well-deserved rest.
