"What burnout taught me about managing stress"

In this episode of Baby On The Brain, former fashion editor and celebrity stylist Kylie joins Stylist's Felicity Thistlethwaite to discuss her journey from high-pressure shoots and a hectic schedule to a grounded life running her stress-management platform, Stress Sucks, from a seaside cottage in Cornwall.

After years of traveling with bands and ignoring red flags from her body – including recurring infections, constant colds and sudden panic attacks – Kylie shares the turning point that forced her to redefine her relationship with work and wellness. Through encounters with an acupuncturist, a natural skincare expert and the reality of raising two young children while starting a new business, she realised how deeply chronic stress impacts the mind and body.

Kylie breaks down the physiological realities of fight-or-flight, demystifies burnout and offers practical, guilt-free strategies for overwhelmed mothers. Emphasising that rest is productive and "done is better than none," she shares four actionable micro-wellness habits – from low-pressure gratitude lists to spotting morning digital triggers—to help listeners navigate parenting and careers without burning out.
