• 136 - Why Stress Is Important: The Hidden Role Stress Plays in Your Health, Performance, and Happiness

  In this episode of Burnout-Free Me, Dr. Amy Grimm breaks down one of the biggest misconceptions among high achievers about stress: the belief that stress is inherently bad.  Stress is actually a normal (and necessary!) part of being human, which means it's in our best interest to learn how to work with it instead of fighting against it. In this episode, you'll learn: How your nervous system and mindset shape your stress response Why stress boosts performance How too little stress is just as harmful as too much And why avoiding stress keeps you stuck in overwhelm and burnout.  Amy also shares two powerful stories that show stress as a wake-up call and a catalyst for meaningful change.  If you’ve been trying to “get rid of stress,” this episode will help you rethink your entire relationship with it, and finally feel more in control.   Burnout & Wellbeing Coaching With Amy: ✨ Ready to break free from exhaustion and stop running on empty, so you can create real balance, reclaim your energy, and finally feel like yourself again?

• 134 - Why Rest Matters (and Why I’m in the Desert Right Now)

  This Thanksgiving week, I’m practicing what I preach — rest, play, and doing things that make me feel alive. In this mini episode of Burnout-Free Me, I share why I’m taking the week off to go explore Death Valley… and why rest doesn’t always mean slowing down. Sometimes rest is joy. Sometimes it’s adventure. Sometimes it’s simply doing something because you love it. You’ll get a quick reminder that: Play is medicine for burnout Rest can look like movement, creativity, or fun Guilt-free downtime is essential, not optional This is your permission slip to pause and reconnect with yourself! Whether you spend the week relaxing, catching up on episodes, or doing something that lights you up — I’m cheering you on. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. 💜     Work With Amy: ✨ Ready to break free from exhaustion and stop running on empty, so you can create real balance, reclaim your energy, and finally feel like yourself again?
