Dealing with Burnout for Kids and Adults

About this episode

The episode discusses identifying and addressing burnout for both kids and adults, including strategies for stress management and building healthy habits.

Affinity Federal Credit Union presents the Wellbeing and Your Wallet podcast! In this episode, hosts Grant Gallagher and Shawn Lubitz discuss how to identify and address burnout. Key topics include stress management strategies for individuals and families, communicating about personal challenges, and building healthy habits to recover from burnout. Following the main discussion, the team addresses a question from the member mailbag. Grant pulls the following submission: My son just started middle school, and it has been a stressful experience. He’s having trouble adjusting to the schedule, making friends, and keeping up with homework. How do I encourage him while also helping him build healthy habits, like a positive work ethic? I want to make things easier for him, but I also recognize that tough transitions are a learning opportunity. Grant concludes the discussion by highlighting Affinity’s Cash Back Plus Checking Account .
