Burnout doesn’t always look like collapsing or not being able to get out of bed. Sometimes it looks like still showing up, doing the work, seeing your friends, answering the messages or smiling in meetings. We’ll walk through burnout symptoms, what burnout actually feels like, the difference between burnout, stress, and depression, how recovery works, and how burnout can be prevented, especially if you’re dealing with high‑functioning burnout.

Stress can take many shapes and forms. I’ll walk you through how stress shows up, including chronic stress and physical symptoms like nausea or headaches, how to reduce it in a way that actually sticks, and when it might be time to look for support.
