Ep#184 The Neuroscience of Burnout

Burnout Recovery

Burnout changes your brain — literally! In this episode, Dex explains how stress rewires your mind, and how to restore energy, clarity, and joy.

You’ll learn:

• Why you’re foggy, anxious or flat — but not broken
• The brain science of burnout (amygdala, cortisol, executive function)
• Practical ways to calm your nervous system and rebuild clarity and drive

If you’re feeling numb, stuck or off your game, there’s a path back.
