Soft Girl Era or Silent Burnout? The Truth You’re Afraid to Admit

from HEY GIRL · host Angie Xylas and Lara Fanuli

#74: Today Angie and Lara are getting real and raw with you, are you in your soft girl era or is it burn out in disguise? You say you're in your soft girl era — resting, healing, slowing down. But what if the truth is... you're just exhausted and disappearing into it? The girls sit with you in the messy middle: the guilt, the numbness, the loneliness that sometimes hides behind self-care. We love the soft life — skincare, silence, solo walks — but lately, we’ve been asking: are we actually healing, or just hiding from life? In this deep-dive, we unpack the real difference between resting and avoiding, slowing down vs. spiraling, and how to find peace without losing yourself. You’ll explore what real healing feels like - it’s not always pretty, how to tell when you’re avoiding life instead of living it, and why feeling lost doesn’t mean you’re failing. Plus, the burnout signs you might be missing, the routines that actually help, and some listener DMs that’ll make you feel way less alone.Slide into the Hey Girl DM's to get your burning questions answered or seek some advice!Follow Us ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@heygirlau⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Angie ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@angiexylas⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Lara⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @larafanuli⁠⁠
