We're all feeling it at the moment. On top of just the normal everyday stress that life throws at us, we're all - and with good reason - having to deal with a lot more.

We're in the middle of a cost of living crisis, we're still in a pandemic, new political controversies across the world every day, climate change, high inflation.

These are things that affect all of us and it has been weighing on my mind and affecting my mindset a lot.

So I am stepping away from my planned and scheduled content plan here and just sharing my thoughts on why all of this is burning us out, how to protect your energy and a bit of self-care.

There is honestly not much structure to this episode - just a few loosely gathered thoughts, but it's a reflection of how my mindset has been these last few weeks.
