Is It Burnout or Just December?

Feeling short-tempered, tired, or checked out — but still pushing through? That’s not just a rough week. Social worker and wellness voice Maria DeRubeis joins Shane to unpack the subtle signs of burnout and why so many people miss them until it’s too late.

In this episode, Maria explains how burnout hides behind people-pleasing, guilt, overcommitment, and even “good stress.” They talk about self-care beyond bubble baths, the power of baby steps, and how small boundary-setting can reclaim your time, energy, and peace. There’s even a trick for going to the gym without going to the gym.

If everything feels heavy, this conversation is the lift you didn’t know you needed.
