In this second episode of the Protecting Your Peace mini-series, we explore a kind of exhaustion that often goes unnoticed — the weight of emotional labour.

I share honestly about the invisible work of carrying other people’s feelings, always being “the strong one,” and the way this hidden load slowly builds into burnout.

Together, we’ll look at:

✨ What emotional labour really looks like — and why it’s so hard to spot

✨ How burnout creeps in quietly before you even realise it’s happening

✨ Gentle, practical steps to recognise your limits and protect your energy

✨ Why you are not failing — you may simply be emotionally exhausted

This is an episode for anyone who feels drained without knowing why, who dreads small requests, or who silently holds everything together while slowly coming undone.

Because protecting your peace isn’t just about boundaries — it’s about learning to put down what was never yours to carry.
