In this interview excerpt, the host asks Roslyn McLarty to recount when the signs of burnout first appeared and how they manifested across physical, emotional, and psychological dimensions. Roslyn describes experiencing an initial breakdown that forced her to acknowledge something was wrong after years of blocking it out and feeling disconnected from her body. She recounts being physically and emotionally exhausted, highly emotionally reactive, and reaching a breaking point where even minor triggers—such as a simple email—could provoke tears. This segment highlights the early, intense symptoms that marked the onset of her burnout.

I was just completely at the end of my rope that the smallest triggers, just like an email, would set me off in tears.
