## Resource

Spoiler Alert: Burnout actually doesn’t have to do with how much you work. ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/3OJWronjhG4 Today, Monica sets the record straight on what burnout actually is, and why it has nothing to do with how hard you’re working. She’s diving deep into what’s really draining your life force energy, why healing burnout isn’t about just doing less, and what the research says about happiness that the personal development world doesn’t talk about. If you're feeling exhausted even though you're doing everything "right," this is the episode you didn’t know you needed. Here’s what she covers: 🪞 The conversation on lack of resilience that nobody wants to have 🪞 How people pleasing drains your life force energy 🪞 Why holding onto past version of yourself keeps you burnt out, especially as a new mum 🪞 The energy leaks you haven’t even considered yet 🪞 The client whose adrenal fatigue disappeared after one 1:1 session, and what was actually causing it 🪞 Monica’s own past addiction to stress and how she healed it 🪞 The difference between nervous system regulation vs. capacity 🪞 How to tell the difference between work lighting you up vs. work as a trauma response +++++ As Mentioned In The Episode: ⇢ Join the waitlist — Monica’s upcoming program, Soft and Ambitious: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/soft ⇢ Join Monica's email list — Never Miss a Thing: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/joinmonicaslist ⇢ Listen next — 267: How you can prevent trauma in your children & break ancestral patterns/trauma: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/ep267 ⇢ Listen next 485: Is Personal Development Making You More of an A**hole?: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/ep485 ⇢ Order the BOOK — Becoming HER: https://go.monicayateshealth.com/book ⇢ Monica’s Instagram: https://w…
