4 Signs of Burnout

There’s been a lot of chat about burnout online and in society but not all of it is helpful, especially if you think you’re already in burnout. So on this episode of the Oh For Food’s Sake podcast, we decided to do a deep-dive on burnout, explaining what it is, how to spot it and how to treat it, because you deserve a life free from burnout!We explain the four signs that you might be in burnout, covering the physical symptoms, how burnout feels mentally and what impact it might have on your life at home and at work. Amy shares details of her burnout story and how she retrained her brain to deal with the negative thoughts that arose from burnout. We also give tips on how to reconnect with a sense of joy and purpose so that you can start to tackle your burnout. We really hope that this episode inspires you to treat your own burnout and spot the signs of burnout in the people around you. Don’t forget that burnout isn’t a life sentence and that help is available.
