Why we get stuck in burnout–and how to get unstuck with Cara Houser

In this episode of Season of Stuck, Deanna sits down with author and burnout expert Cara Houser to tackle a topic that impacts so many of us: burnout. During their conversation, Deanna and Cara discuss the epidemic of burnout—and why it’s so prevalent in today’s culture, the different ways burnout keeps us stuck, both professionally and personally, the importance of mindset in detaching from burnout culture, and actionable strategies to heal from burnout—and get unstuck in the process.

Tune in to learn about:

  • What burnout actually is—and how to recognize when you're stuck in it

  • How the fallacy of “having it all” fuels burnout and keeps us trapped in an impossible cycle

  • The importance of creating space—mentally, physically, and emotionally—as the first step in healing

  • Why boundaries, habits, and shifting from “should” to “choose” are essential tools for recovery

  • Why healing from burnout isn’t about doing more, but about doing differently

  • How to support someone you love that’s stuck in burnout

The first step in healing from burnout is creating space—whether that’s physical, mental, or emotional space. Even something small, like decluttering a single drawer, can start to crack open room for clarity and joy.
