The Mid-Year Reset: 4 Signals You're Heading Toward Burnout (And What to Do About Each One)

We're halfway through 2026. And if your year has been relentless with very little genuine recovery built in — this episode is your reset.

The most downloaded episode of this podcast ever is "How to Recover from Burnout" — over 2,100 listens. That question never stops being relevant. So today we go deeper.

I share the four signals your mind and body send before you crash, and one concrete reset for each. No grand overhaul. Just tools you can use this week.

📸 Screenshot this:

SIGNAL 1 — "I'm tired even after I sleep"
RESET: 5 minutes of intentional rest before you leave work. No phone. No to-do list. Just stop.

SIGNAL 2 — "My brain feels like it's running too many tabs"
RESET: 3-minute brain dump. Everything unfinished out of your head and onto the page.

SIGNAL 3 — "I'm doing everything and resenting all of it"
RESET: One boundary this week. You know which one.

SIGNAL 4 — "I don't remember why I chose this"
RESET: Write down one moment this week where you made a difference. Just one.

Start with the signal that made you uncomfortable when I named it.
