Felicia and Brittney get real about something so many healthcare workers—and honestly, everyone—are feeling right now: burnout.

In this episode, they open up about emotional exhaustion, losing sight of purpose, and what it actually looks like to slow down in a world that glorifies staying busy. From ER life to everyday stress, this conversation dives into the pressure to keep going… even when you're running on empty.

They also talk about how faith, rest, and intentional self-care have helped them reset, rebuild, and reconnect with what truly matters.

If you’ve been feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just plain exhausted—this episode is for you.

Because burnout isn’t weakness… it’s a signal.
