Burnout, Career Regret & Starting Over: What Happens After the Spiral? (Pt. 2)
Share
Last week, we cracked open the chaos of “safe” paths, student loan pressure, and the kind of career regret that hits hardest at 2 AM. This week? We’re back for Part 2 — and it’s all about what comes next when you’re deep in burnout and rethinking everything.
We’re not gonna lie: there’s no perfect 5-step plan here. But if you’re:
- Emotionally flatlined and questioning everything
- Too tired to go back but too unsure to move forward
- Sitting in that weird in-between of burnout and breakthrough
Then yeah, this one’s for you.
💥 What We Talked About in This Episode:
🔄 Burnout Recovery Isn’t Linear
We explore how burnout isn’t always big and dramatic — sometimes it’s just complete emotional shutdown. And how “recovery” might look a lot more like survival mode than glowing-up.
💸 Money Panic & Career Pivots
We share our real talk around financial sunk costs, the fear of making another “wrong” decision, and how hard it is to feel stable when you’re still healing.
🧠 The Identity Crisis Nobody Warned Us About
If you’ve ever looked around and thought, “I don’t want the life I built, but I don’t know what to build next,” then you’re not alone. And no, you’re not broken.
😵💫 Still Spiraling… Now What?
We dive into the discomfort of change, the chaos of healing, and why it’s okay to not have a plan — as long as you’re giving yourself permission to try something different.
