Early Burnout Signals: How to Rest Before You Hit the Wall

Are you noticing that normal routines feel harder than they should? Do you find yourself snapping at small things, procrastinating on tasks you usually handle well, or numbing out with scrolling? In this episode, Blaze explores the subtle, cumulative signals of burnout that most of us dismiss until it's too late.

Discover why we're taught to ignore these warning signs, how to distinguish between normal fatigue and nervous system depletion, and why rest is a practice that needs to be learned—not just a reward for exhaustion. Blaze shares compassionate strategies for building support earlier in the burnout trajectory, reducing inputs without guilt, and learning to "turn down the dial" on what you're consuming. If you feel like you're on the precipice of a crisis, this conversation is your guide to stepping in with care before your body forces you to stop.
