Career, parenting, being a spouse, showing up how you want to show up; it can be exhausting and lead to feeling burnt out. Sometimes I even wonder if I am helping or hurting myself when I am feeling burnt out. But how do I break the cycle? On this weeks episode Dr. Carolyn Rubenstein answers our questions on burn out and walks us thought how to avoid it in our own lives.

1. What are the common things we do to self-sabotage and fuel our own burnout?
2. Some of my burnout stems from imposter syndrome and doubting myself and my abilities. Do you have any tips for getting over these thoughts?
3. How can I identify that I am starting to burnout before it gets too far? What can I do to intervene and what can I do to prevent burnout?
4. I feel like I have been in a burnout phase and can't get out of it. I tried taking a break and time off, but it doesn't help and almost makes it worse. Why isn't this working? How can I actually recover from burnout?
