Danielle Young speaks with mental wellbeing coach and former social worker Maz Alexander about burnout, mental exhaustion, and why many high-achieving women wait too long to prioritize their mental health. Drawing from her 18-year career working with adults experiencing acute mental illness, Maz shares how chronic workplace stress, toxic environments, and caregiver pressure led to her own burnout and depressive episodes.

They explore how burnout develops, why early warning signs are often ignored, and how stigma around therapy prevents people from seeking help before reaching crisis. The conversation breaks down what preventative mental health care looks like in real life, including self-advocacy, emotional awareness, and regular mental health check-ins.

Maz also introduces the Kintsugi philosophy and explains how periods of stress, struggle, and emotional breakdown can become pivotal moments of growth rather than evidence of failure.
