You’re running on empty. #selfcaretruths #burnoutrecovery #boundariesmatter" (created 2025-06-11). The excerpt is a short spoken monologue by a single speaker offering self-care and burnout-recovery advice—reframing rest to reduce guilt, suggesting daily affirmations, and promoting a course (mentioning a week 2 "permission framework" and ready scripts) to help people recharge without shame. The speaker addresses caregivers and leaders and encourages prioritizing rest so one can give from overflow rather than emptiness.

Chapters

You think that if you take a break, you're gonna be a fraud. You're gonna feel like a fraud, like you're getting away with something. So you keep on pushing and pushing till you break. What if prioritizing yourself by resting makes you a better person, makes you more available and more present? What if? Try this. The next time you feel like resting, but you feel guilty, tell yourself, whether through thoughts or affirmations that you place, around so that you can see it all day. This makes me a better mom, or this makes me a better leader. In the course, in week 2, our permission framework will help you get through this, get over it, and have some available scripts also, things you can use and say when you're in a pinch and you don't exactly know how to get out of it. My course teaches you how to recharge without shame so you can give from overflow, not emptiness.
