It’s 3:00 AM and you’re wide awake. Your brain says, “you’re fine, keep going”—but your body is sending a different message. Burnout is creeping in.

How do you recognize the signs early—and protect your energy before it’s gone?

In this episode, psychologist (AB) and clinical counsellor Lindsay Day shares how she’s learned to:

• Listen to the body’s early warnings—like disrupted sleep, resentment, or compassion fatigue.

• Use transition routines to “open and close the door” on others’ stories.

• Schedule with intention and triage energy to prevent burnout from snowballing.

Her story—from curiosity leading her into psychology, to navigating personal loss and professional demands—is packed with real tools for anyone working on the frontlines or holding space for others.
