HOW I DEALT with BURNOUT at work (the honest version)

Burnout doesn’t always look dramatic. Sometimes it looks like losing focus, forgetting simple things, feeling emotionally flat, and waking up tired no matter how much you sleep.
This video is the honest version of burnou: the cognitive fog, the emotional detachment, the physical symptoms, and the quiet moments where you stop recognizing yourself.

06:45 5 Small Changes That Helped Me Recover from Burnout

In this video I walk through:
• what early burnout symptoms actually feel like (memory issues, concentration problems, small errors, cynicism, numbness)
• how stress turns into full burnout without you noticing
• why women between 25–45 are statistically more exposed to burnout
• the slow behavioral shifts no one talks about — irritability, emotional volatility, unhealthy coping habits, self-neglect
• the small boundaries that helped me start recovering (not universal advice, just my experience)

You’ll also hear about the part I resisted the most: letting go of control and rebuilding my life through micro-shifts instead of big transformations. Research shows burnout recovery is gradual, and my story reflects exactly that.
