In your efforts towards building a better lifestyle for yourself and a body, you will often go to fitness spaces such as gyms or yoga studios - but sometimes it isn't designed to be kind to you.

As folks with body image issues, I thought they would be perfect to share their story and share pointers on how to be kind to yourself on your journey.

Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by excessive and prolonged stress. It occurs when you feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, and unable to meet constant demands.  Sounds relatable? If you were NOT burnt out, especially in 2020, consider yourself blessed, because it felt like everyone we spoke to expressed some sort of burn out. For some, the burnout eased out, while for others, they are still in a state of burnout. In this episode, I speak to the expert on this topic - Sanika Tillway, who is a Burnout Management Coach. This episode in particular talks about what burnout is, why it’s so important, and the importance of having boundaries in place. And because there's sooo much more to cover on this topic, we will continue this over the next episode, which will be released soon as well!
