Is it burnout—or just Tuesday?
In this episode of The Suicide Prevention Lady Podcast, Dr. Rikki Turner sits down with burnout recovery coach and author Dr. Kate Steiner to break down what burnout really is, why it’s not a personal failure, and how to recover without selling your house and fleeing to the woods. From recognizing the early signs of burnout to navigating recovery with humor and humanity, this episode is for anyone who’s ever felt crispy, overwhelmed, or totally tapped out.
Topics we cover:
The real signs of burnout (hint: it’s not just being tired)
Why typical advice like “go rest” isn’t enough
How burnout connects to mental health, chronic pain, and even suicidality
Burnout recovery plans that actually work
Why “just keep going” is sometimes the worst advice
🎧 Whether you're a student, professional, caretaker, or recovering people-pleaser—this one's for you.
