Description
Are you stuck in burnout and can’t figure out why? In this episode, Dr. Mylaine Riobé breaks down the hidden ways we self-sabotage our healing. These “excuses” — like “it’s too expensive,” “I don’t have time,” or “my job is too stressful” — aren’t about laziness. They’re survival patterns that keep you trapped in exhaustion.
You’ll learn:
✅ The 5 most common self-sabotage patterns that block healing
✅ Why burnout convinces you that change is impossible
✅ Simple, practical shifts to move past overwhelm and start recovering now
If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect time” to heal, this episode will show you why the time is now — and how small, doable steps can make a big difference.
