When a job ends, the impact doesn’t always stop there.

In this episode of Hearth, Heart & Rituals, we talk about the quiet, lingering emotional weight of a layoff—how it can reshape our sense of safety, worth, and trust long after we’ve “moved on.” This is a gentle conversation about grief, nervous systems, and remembering that your value was never tied to a title.

Settle in. You’re not alone in this.

Life burnout isn’t just about work — it’s the kind of exhaustion that seeps into every corner of life. In this episode, I’m talking about what life burnout really looks and feels like, why it happens, and how it can leave us feeling drained, disconnected, and overwhelmed in ways that are hard to name.

We’ll chat about emotional overload, creative fatigue, exhaustion, and the quiet pressure to always be “doing,” along with the signs our bodies and hearts give us when we’ve reached our limits. I’ll also share a few gentle, grounding practices to help soften burnout and invite rest back in — without guilt or perfection.

This episode is a reminder that burnout is not a failure. It’s a signal. And even when your flame feels dim, there is still warmth there.

Pull up a chair, take a breath, and let’s talk about tending the embers.
