Episode notes
Burnout Often Starts With A Trigger
- Burnout can follow a triggering life event even if symptoms seemed manageable at first.
- Early recognition and targeted action helped Danielle recover faster than prior multi-year burnouts.

- Do a top-down audit (like the Wheel of Life) to map life areas and prioritize what needs attention.
- Tackle one slice at a time and schedule lower-priority items for later to avoid overwhelm.
Set Non-Negotiables First
- Make non-negotiables explicit so you can chase new interests without essential tasks collapsing.
- Use the audit to set boundaries and decide what you won't touch until a set future date.
