• → First issue: AI Won’t Solve Therapist Burnout
• 🎙️ Episode 60: Hey Therapist, You Need a Friend

🧠 Episode Summary

In this episode of The Therapist Burnout Podcast, we move beyond subtracting stressors and start focusing on what to add back in. If you’ve ever asked, “What do I even enjoy anymore?”—this one’s for you.

Jen shares her five pillars of restoration—connection, sleep, nourishment, movement, and play—and guides you in remembering what actually makes you feel like you.

You’ll hear:

• A powerful garden metaphor about tiger lilies and tending your time
• A float-back practice to reconnect with your younger, joyful self
• The Atomic Habits lens on rebuilding: every small action is a vote for who you want to become
• Real talk on friendship loss, depleted joy, and the paradox of needing rest but feeling guilty for taking it
• Encouragement to start tiny: one text, one walk, one joyful moment

✨ Weekly Prompt

“What kind of rest or pleasure have I been denying myself?”

💡 Tiny Practice

Choose one thing to add back this week—something nourishing, connective, playful, or restful.

Then, protect the space for it with ferocity.
