This episode discusses the relationship between burnout and alcohol consumption, featuring insights from burnout expert Caitlin Donovan.

A lot of women don’t realize they’re dealing with burnout.They just feel tired, irritable, stretched thin, and like everything takes more effort than it should. And when drinking becomes the way you cope, it can make it even harder to see what’s really going on. In this episode, I’m talking with burnout expert Cait Donovan, host of FRIED: The Burnout Podcast and author of The Bounce Back Ability Factor. Cait has such a smart, grounded way of talking about burnout that cuts through the noise and gets to the truth.
