Season 3, Episode 12 dives into the real, unfiltered experience of change, transition, and burnout with guest Karin Bernkopf and host Lauren O’Brien.

Karin shares the physical realities of burnout, the exhaustion, the tension, and the signals her body sent after 18 months of nonstop sprinting. She describes the moment she realized she wasn’t just tired… she was depleted.

They explore one of burnout’s most telling signs:
when the work that once brought joy becomes rote and robotic, and you find yourself simply going through the motions.

This episode unpacks:

• The emotional and physical toll of burnout
• How losing joy becomes a warning sign
• Why knowing you need to change is different from taking the first step
• How support systems, like your Lean In Circle, help separate emotion from logic
• The relief and empowerment of finally leaping into something new

A grounded, heartfelt conversation for anyone navigating transition or rebuilding their boundaries.
