In this episode, Kamini Wood explores "hidden burnout," a profound form of exhaustion that occurs when individuals function at a high level on the outside while struggling with emotional pain on the inside. Unlike traditional burnout caused by heavy workloads, this invisible overwhelm stems from carrying the cumulative weight of grief, anxiety, or major life transitions while still meeting the relentless expectations of adulthood. Wood discusses how high achievers often mask this depletion, leading to physical symptoms like chronic fatigue and tension as the nervous system works overtime to bridge the gap between internal reality and external performance. Listeners are invited to trade shame for self-compassion and are provided with practical "micro-moments" of self-support—such as emotional naming and lowering perfectionist bars—to begin moving from mere survival toward genuine flourishing.
