This is a great podcast from Brene Brown featuring Emily and Amelia Nagoski on Burnout and How to Completing the Stress Cycle. It can be helpful to reassess your relationship with stress, and give you some ideas on how to release stress better by completing the stress cycle. I just love their perspective on stress. https://brenebrown.com//brene-with-emily-and-amelia-nagos/
