In this solo episode of Not So Avg, we get real about something too many of us face but rarely talk about—burnout. Recognized by the World Health Organization as an occupational phenomenon, burnout is no longer just a buzzword. It’s a reality for healthcare workers, tech professionals, creatives, and especially young people navigating high-pressure careers.

Drawing from my own experience in the tech world and beyond, we open up about what burnout looked and felt like —and how it nearly broke everything that was built. More importantly, we shares the six strategies that helped me pull back, reset, and rebuild:

🛑 Set boundaries that protect your energy

😴 Make rest non-negotiable

💪 Return to the basics of physical and mental health

📦 Reframe how you think about productivity

🤝 Strengthen your social circles

🎯 Reconnect with your why

This is not a glorified story of hustle—it’s a real conversation about the cost of ignoring your limits, and how to start doing things differently.
