Burnout doesn't usually happen overnight.

It builds slowly.

Through years of saying yes.

Ignoring stress signals.

Pushing through exhaustion.

Believing you'll slow down later.

In this episode, Shannon sits down with emotional intelligence expert, researcher, and author Dr. Lorea Martinez to discuss the hidden signs of burnout and why so many capable women don't realize they're running on empty until they reach a breaking point.

Drawing from her own burnout experience and more than two decades of research in emotional intelligence and well-being, Dr. Martinez shares practical strategies for recognizing emotional patterns, protecting your energy, and creating healthier ways of working and leading.

In this episode:
✔️ Why burnout often develops slowly over time
✔️ The hidden warning signs high-achieving women overlook
✔️ Why losing joy can be an early signal of burnout
✔️ Burnout caused by overwhelm versus under-stimulation
✔️ How emotional intelligence helps prevent burnout
✔️ Why emotions are valuable data, not something to ignore
✔️ Creating healthy workplace boundaries
✔️ Identifying your non-negotiables for well-being
✔️ Small habits that improve resilience and emotional health

Dr. Lorea also shares one simple exercise every listener can practice this week to become more aware of their emotional patterns before burnout takes hold.
