Burnout Recovery, Setting Boundaries, and Self-Care — Your Energy Is Like a Phone Battery (Stop Giving It All to Random Apps)

 

Let’s talk about your energy like it’s your phone battery, babe. Because honestly? You wouldn't let TikTok drain your phone to 2% before a night out, so why are you letting your energy drop to empty for people who treat you like an option?

Welcome to your official permission slip to start prioritizing burnout recovery, setting boundaries, and radical self-care. This is your wake-up call to STOP giving your precious energy to every "app" (read: person, task, drama, or expectation) that pings for your attention.


What Is Burnout and Why Should You Be Freaking Concerned?

Burnout isn’t just "being tired." It’s deep-in-your-bones exhaustion, emotional numbness, and the feeling that everything is too much. It’s when your "phone" has been running on Low Power Mode for so long you forgot what it felt like to be fully charged.

It’s dangerous because it doesn’t just drain your mood—it wrecks your mental health, your body, your creativity, your relationships, and your joy. Burnout says, "You can’t keep giving and giving and never receiving, never resting, never saying no."

And yet so many women live in that zone 24/7. Newsflash: You deserve better.


The Highs and Lows of Burnout Recovery (Yes, It's a Journey, Not a Quick Fix)

Let’s be real. Burnout recovery is not all bubble baths and matcha lattes.

Sometimes it looks like:

  • Crying because you finally said no without guilt (go you!)
  • Feeling lost when you're not constantly "doing something productive"
  • Realizing you've abandoned your own needs for so long you forgot what they even were

But it also looks like:

  • Discovering how good it feels to rest without explaining yourself
  • Reconnecting with your joy and creativity
  • Feeling strong AF when you set a boundary and stick to it

Burnout recovery is messy and miraculous. It's a reclamation of your time, energy, and worth. It’s you realizing, "Wait, I don’t have to be everything for everyone."


A Love Note to the Woman Who Gives Too Much

Hey you. The one who makes everyone else feel seen, safe, and supported.

You are not here to burn out in the name of being "a good person." You are not selfish for choosing self-care. You are not dramatic for needing rest.

You are precious. You are important. Your energy is sacred.

Protect it like you protect your phone at 1% with no charger in sight.

You’re allowed to say, "No, not today." You’re allowed to unplug, recharge, and glow from the inside out.

Because when you prioritize setting boundaries and burnout recovery, you don’t just survive—you come ALIVE.


How to Start Setting Boundaries Like a Boss

Identify Your Energy Drains: Which apps (aka people/situations) are zapping your battery? Get clear on where you're giving too much.

Say Yes to You First: If it doesn’t align with your values or capacity, it’s a no.

Use Scripts for Boundaries: "I’m not available for that right now." Or "Thanks for thinking of me, but I need to rest."

Expect Discomfort: Boundary guilt is normal. But it doesn’t mean you’re wrong.

Celebrate Every Victory: Every boundary you set is a win for your nervous system.
