SHOW NOTES:
If you’ve ever found yourself juggling all the things—family, advocacy, work, and maybe a touch of “why am I like this?”—this episode is for you.
I’m joined by Dr. Angelyn Franks, a speech-language pathologist turned mindfulness researcher, to talk about what burnout really looks like and how we can actually start managing stress in ways that work for us. We go deep into the difference between real, values-aligned self-care and the kind that just feels like another chore on your to-do list. (Spoiler: if your “relaxing” pedicure feels like a task, it might be time to rethink it.)
We also talk about the science behind chronic stress, why our bodies sometimes betray us, and how a little humor—plus maybe some “boob ice”—can go a long way in resetting your nervous system.
In this episode, we discuss :
- Why traditional self-care often backfires (and what’s actually helpful)
- The four hidden stress triggers that make your body go “nuts”
- How to recognize burnout before you hit the wall
- Practical ways to align self-care with your values so it actually works
If you’ve been feeling wired, tired, or just plain done, take a deep breath. This episode is your reminder that you can’t pour from an empty cup—but you can refill it in ways that feel right for you.
Meet Dr. Angelyn Franks
I’m a formerly burned-out speech-language pathologist who knows firsthand what it feels like to love your work—and still feel completely drained by it. After six jobs in seven years, I realized burnout wasn’t just about stress or workload. It was about misalignment, disconnection, and trying to fit into a system that wasn’t built for sustainability.
Today, I help speech-language pathologists, educators, and healthcare professionals break free from burnout, reconnect with their core values, and create careers and lives that feel sustainable and fulfilling. Through coaching, my membership community, and speaking engagements, I provide practical tools and clear strategies that help busy professionals move from survival mode to a place of clarity, confidence, and alignment.
If you’re ready to stop second-guessing, reclaim your energy, and build a life and career that truly fit you, not just what’s expected, you’re in the right place.
