She Speaks with Shara - Season 2 - Episode #18 - When Burnout Comes Home

Burnout isn't just about being tired. It's about slowly becoming someone you don't recognize.In this episode of She Speaks with Shara, we're talking about my experience with burnout while working in the federal government and how I didn't realize just how much it had spilled into every part of my life—especially my relationship with my boys. Looking back, I can see how often I was physically present but emotionally exhausted, and how that affected the way I showed up as a mom.This isn't a conversation about guilt or blame. It's about awareness. It's about recognizing the cost of living in survival mode, giving ourselves grace for what we didn't know at the time, and talking about what it actually looks like to heal. I'll share what helped me reconnect with my children, why leaving that chapter of my life changed everything, and why I believe burnout doesn't have to define the rest of your story.If you enjoy the content, please like, subscribe and leave a comment.
