How to Ask for Help When You Feel Burnt Out 🕯️📉

We’ve all been there: the "exhaustion that sleep can't fix." When you’re in the thick of burnout, even asking for help feels like another daunting task on your to-do list. But you don't have to carry the weight alone.

Here is how to effectively reach out when your tank is empty:

1. Acknowledge it early 🛑
Don't wait for a total collapse. If you’re feeling cynical, chronically tired, or ineffective, it’s time to speak up.
2. Identify specific needs 🔍
Instead of saying "I'm overwhelmed," try to pinpoint what would actually help. Do you need a meal dropped off? Someone to take the kids for an hour? A deadline extension? Specificity makes it easier for people to say "yes."
3. Use "I" statements 🗣️
Focus on your experience: "I am feeling spread thin and I’m struggling to keep up with [Task]." This invites support rather than sounding like you're blaming others for your workload.
4. Script it out 📝
If you’re too tired to find the words, use these:
To a partner: "I’m hitting a wall. Can you take over dinner duties for the rest of the week so I can decompress?"
To a manager: "I’ve realized my current workload isn't sustainable. Can we look at my priorities and see what can be moved or delegated?"
To a friend: "I'm going through a rough patch and feeling burnt out. I’m not up for a big hang-out, but could we just sit together or grab a coffee?"
5. Let go of the guilt 🤍

Asking for help isn't a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of self-awareness. Taking a step back now prevents a total burnout later.

Remember: The people who love you want to support you, but they aren't mind readers. Let them in.

To the woman who is still replaying that "mistake" in her head… 🕊️✨

When you’re a perfectionist with an anxious heart, "messing up" feels like a life sentence. You’ve apologized to everyone else a thousand times, but have you apologized to yourself?

Here are three gentle steps to finally let it go:

Own the "I didn't know then": You made the best choice you could with the energy and information you had at the time. New wisdom shouldn't be used to punish your past self.

The "Best Friend" Rule: If your daughter or best friend made this exact mistake, would you berate them for days? Or would you offer them a hug and a way forward? Offer yourself that same grace.

Release the "Delete" Button: There is no delete button for the past, but there is a "Renewal" button for today. Take the lesson, leave the shame, and keep moving forward.

You are more than your worst day. You are a work in progress, and that is a beautiful place to be.

Should You Use an Exercise Journal?

If exercise has ever made your anxiety worse instead of better, you’re not broken—and you’re not alone.

So many women in are discovering that the problem isn’t movement… it’s how we move and how we track how it feels.

An exercise journal isn’t about pushing harder or being “more disciplined.” It’s about listening to your body. Writing down how you feel before and after movement—your energy, mood, tension, and calm—can help you notice patterns like:
✨ Which workouts soothe your nervous system
✨ Which ones spike anxiety or exhaustion
✨ When your body needs gentle movement instead of intensity

In this season of life, exercise works best when it supports hormones, cortisol, and emotional safety—not when it adds more stress.

Sometimes the most powerful fitness tool isn’t a plan… it’s awareness. 💭💫
