Over-productivity is real. And it can quietly destroy you.
In this episode of Dear Young Person, I talk about something I had to learn the hard way: you can hit your goals, tick every box, and still be deeply exhausted.
For a long time, I was running on my to-do list. I loved the feeling of productivity — finishing tasks, achieving goals, moving forward. On the outside, it looked like progress.
But my body wasn’t having it.
My mental health started struggling.
And I realised I wasn’t just productive — I was overproductive.
In this conversation, we unpack:
👉🏻 The difference between healthy ambition and overworking
👉🏻 Subtle signs of burnout
👉🏻 Why rest is not weakness
👉🏻 How to recover when your body forces you to slow down
Work is a gift from God.
But so is rest.
I also share practical ways I’ve learned to handle burnout
For the believer, burnout can sometimes be an invitation — a retreat with God. A call to be still. A call to tell Him how you really feel and embrace His rest.
If you’ve been pushing non-stop…
If your to-do list owns you…
If your body is sending warning signs…
This episode is for you.
