About this episode

Gina Livy and Calissa Ngozi discuss burnout in midlife and the importance of self-care.

You look like you have it all together. Inside, you're wondering how much longer you can keep this up. Mental health professional, award-winning speaker and author Calissa Ngozi joins Gina to talk about burnout in midlife and why exhaustion became a badge of honour, why rest comes wrapped in guilt, and why so many women only recognize burnout in everyone else. One thing you can change today: give yourself permission to pause. Because you can't take care of anyone else if you're not taking care of yourself.
