Why Your Self-Care Isn’t Curing Your Burnout

from Skills and Pills Podcast · host Skills and Pills Podcast

Are you doing all the "right" things for self-care? Taking the bubble baths, booking weekend trips, downloading the mindfulness apps… but still feeling completely overwhelmed and exhausted?If your burnout isn’t getting better, it’s not your fault. It’s because hustle culture sold us a superficial fix for a deep and systemic problem. This is your playbook for moving beyond temporary relief.
