## Resource

In this episode of Rooted in Connection , Erin Forward sits down with Angelyn Franks for a deeply human conversation about burnout, identity, and what it means to keep showing up for others when your own nervous system is depleted. Together, they explore the emotional and physiological cost of caring, the ways professional roles can quietly overtake our sense of self, and how stress and exhaustion show up in our bodies and relationships. This episode invites listeners to slow down and reflect on their core values, boundaries, and the stories they tell themselves about who they are supposed to be. Erin and Angelyn talk honestly about self-awareness, personal growth, and the importance of reconnecting with ourselves in order to truly connect with others; both personally and professionally. If you’ve ever felt like you’re pouring from empty, this conversation offers validation, language, and gentle reminders that you are more than what you produce, and that tending to your own nervous system is not selfish. It’s essential for sustainable, meaningful connection.
