Preventing & Recovering from Burnout

Burnout and adrenal fatigue are very common for HSPs and empaths to experience and they can have a negative impact on our physical, emotional, and spiritual wellbeing.

In this conversation with Shirley Zhou, we talk about where burnout comes from, signs that you’re on the cusp of burnout, and how to recover from it when it happens.
