In this episode of Recently Retired, we tackle a topic that hits close to home for many—burnout. As two recently retired Division I athletes, we've experienced the intense pressures of high-level competition firsthand, and we know what it's like to push ourselves to the brink. But burnout isn't exclusive to athletes—it's something that can affect anyone, whether you're juggling work, personal life, or the weight of endless responsibilities.

We dive deep into what burnout really feels like, why it's so common in high-pressure environments, and how we learned to recognize the signs before they became overwhelming. From the constant grind of training and performance to the mental exhaustion that follows, we share our personal stories of burnout and the lessons we've learned about recovery, resilience, and finding balance.

In this episode, we discuss practical strategies for managing stress, setting boundaries, and recharging—whether you're a former athlete or simply someone who feels overwhelmed by the demands of daily life. Burnout doesn't have to define you, and with the right mindset and tools, recovery is possible. Tune in for honest insights and actionable advice on how to reclaim your energy, rediscover your passion, and prevent burnout from taking over your life.
