Burnout is what happens when you try to avoid being human for too long.

Burnout is a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged stress, especially from work or caregiving.

What is Burnout?

The wound is the place where the Light enters you.

Self-compassion is simply giving the same kindness to ourselves that we would give to others.

Setting boundaries—saying "no" when you need to—is a key strategy to protect yourself from burnout. Without boundaries, you risk taking on too much and burning out faster.

The Power of Boundaries

Recovery from burnout isn’t just about “doing less.” It’s about finding ways to complete the stress cycle, honor your emotions, seek support, and practice self-care to heal and restore energy.

Healing and Recovery

Stress is a physical response, and your body needs to complete the "stress cycle" to return to a state of calm. If the cycle isn’t completed, stress builds up, leading to burnout.

The Stress Cycle

<ul><li class="ql-align-justify">Being kind to yourself is crucial. Judging yourself for feeling stressed or burnt out only makes things worse. Self-compassion helps reduce stress and boosts resilience.</li><li class="ql-align-justify">If you’re looking for support and a place to talk through your stress, <a href="https://discord.gg/Nr898gPngc">check out the Inspire Hub Discord server</a>.

Self-Compassion is Key

The key problem is that many of us don't finish the stress cycle. If you don't take action to release the stress (like exercise, deep breathing, or other calming activities), it lingers in your body and mind.

Unfinished Stress Cycle

Many women face unique stress because of societal pressures to be constantly caring, giving, and nurturing (called “human giver syndrome”), which can lead to burnout. Balancing giving and receiving is essential.

The Pressure of “Human Givers”

Emotions are a natural response to stress. It’s important to express and process them (like crying or talking about them) to release tension and complete the stress cycle.

The Role of Emotions

Having a support system, whether friends, family, or coworkers, is essential for dealing with stress. Strong relationships help buffer against the effects of burnout.

Social Support Helps

Sleep, relaxation, and proper rest are vital to recover from stress. Without enough rest, it’s almost impossible to complete the stress cycle or prevent burnout.

Rest is Critical

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • “This book is a gift! I’ve been practicing their strategies, and it’s a total game-changer.”—Brené Brown, PhD, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Dare to Lead This groundbreaking book explains why women experience burnout differently than men—and provides a simple, science-based plan to help women minimize stress, manage emotions, and live a more joyful life. Burnout. Many women in America have experienced it. What’s expected of women and what it’s really like to be a woman in today’s world are two very different things—and women exhaust themselves trying to close the gap between them. How can you “love your body” when every magazine cover has ten diet tips for becoming “your best self”? How do you “lean in” at work when you’re already operating at 110 percent and aren’t recognized for it? How can you live happily and healthily in a sexist world that is constantly telling you you’re too fat, too needy, too noisy, and too selfish? Sisters Emily Nagoski, PhD, and Amelia Nagoski, DMA, are here to help end the cycle of feeling overwhelmed and exhausted. Instead of asking us to ignore the very real obstacles and societal pressures that stand between women and well-being, they explain with compassion and optimism what we’re up against—and show us how to fight back. In these pages you’ll learn • what you can do to complete the biological stress cycle—and return your body to a state of relaxation • how to manage the “monitor” in your brain that regulates the emotion of frustration • how the Bikini Industrial Complex makes it difficult for women to love their bodies—and how to defend yourself against it • why rest, human connection, and befriending your inner critic are keys to recovering and preventing burnout With the help of eye-opening science, prescriptive advice, and helpful worksheets and exercises, all women will find something transformative in these pages—and will be empowered to create positive change. Emily and Amelia aren’t here to preach the broad platitudes of expensive self-care or insist that we strive for the impossible goal of “having it all.” Instead, they tell us that we are enough, just as we are—and that wellness, true wellness, is within our reach. NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY BOOKRIOT “Burnout is the gold standard of self-help books, delivering cutting-edge science with energy, empathy, and wit. The authors know exactly what’s going on inside your frazzled brain and body, and exactly what you can do to fix it. . . . Truly life-changing.”—Sarah Knight, New York Times bestselling author of Calm the F*ck Down
