Burnout isn’t just exhaustion—it’s a state of complete mental, emotional, and physical depletion, and if you’re feeling overwhelmed, detached, or running on empty, you’re not alone. In this episode of Take It Off, Jess and Julie open up about their own experiences with burnout, breaking down how it creeps up, the warning signs to watch for, and why so many women find themselves stuck in this cycle.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in the cycle of pushing through exhaustion, neglecting your own needs, and feeling guilty for resting, this conversation is for you. Awareness is the first step to healing, and in this episode, Jess and Julie help you recognize the signs, understand what’s really happening in your body, and start taking back your energy. 🔜 Stay tuned for Part 2, where we’ll share actionable ways to interrupt burnout, reset your energy, and realign with what truly matters.

07 - New Year, Same You. Breaking Free From Rigid Resolutions.
New Year, new… Nope. We’re not doing that. Forget the pressure of rigid resolutions that fizzle out by February—in this episode of Take It Off, Jess and Julie are breaking down why traditional New Year’s resolutions often set us up for failure (hint: it’s not you, it’s them). Instead, they’re introducing a more aligned and sustainable way to start the year: choosing a Word of the Year. A Word of the Year is a simple yet powerful way to set intentions without guilt, pressure, or perfectionism. Unlike resolutions that rely on willpower and rigid rules, choosing a word allows you to stay inspired, flexible, and connected to your bigger vision throughout the year. Jess and Julie share their 2025 words—Amplify and Expand—and how they’re using them as guiding principles for personal growth, career evolution, and everyday decision-making. If you’re tired of the all-or-nothing mindset of resolutions and want a fresh, empowering way to set the tone for 2025, this episode will help you rethink the way you approach change. ✨ What You’ll Learn in This Episode: Why resolutions often lead to burnout and disappointment How a Word of the Year helps create sustainable, meaningful growth Practical ways to choose your word and integrate it into daily life The mindset shift that makes goal-setting feel easier and more aligned 📅 Join Julie for her Word of the Year Workshop on 1/29/2025 at 2PM ET → Register Here 📲 Follow Us on Instagram for More: @takeitoff.pod | @jmw.collective | @jesscallahan_ 🔗 Visit us online at www.takeitoffpodcast.com #WordOfTheYear #IntentionalLiving #DitchTheResolutions #TakeItOffPodcast #SelfGrowth ✨ ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED JANUARY 21, 2025 ✨
