✨ Scared to take the leap? Here's the tool that changed everything for Erica Rooney, this week's FRIED. The Burnout Podcast guest ().

Erica said, "When I’m feeling stuck or terrified of a big move, I call in reinforcements. 💬 I’ll tell three or four close friends, “This is what I want to do, and I need your support.” Why? Because putting it out there makes it real."

"You can’t unring the bell once it’s rung—and that accountability? It’s powerful. Even for someone like me who struggles to ask for help, leaning on my people forced me to pause, accept support, and grow in ways I never imagined."

🛑 Stop thinking you have to do it all alone.
💡 Your growth begins the moment you let others in.

What a relief it was when Ryan Brazil, 4th grade teacher released a video explaining her first thought concept.

I don't know about you but my first thought is typically pretty un-generous - but my follow up thoughts can get better and better when I'm being intentional.

You aren't the sum of your first thoughts, first reactions, initial emotions or anything else... the story you get to tell about your day, your situation, your experience can have as many layers and learnings and as much growth as YOU WANT.

Some days of burnout recovery are better than expected.
Some days of burnout recovery are really garbage.

Often, those days are back to back - and that leads to massive amounts of self judgement, wondering if you're 'doing burnout recovery right' and wondering if you're ever going to feel better for more than a day at a time.

Spoiler alert - you will - and embracing the rule of 1/3ds will help.

This week's episode should help you find some grace, self compassion, and reprieve - tell me what hits you most and what you're taking away this week!

It is so easy to glaze over information that your body is sending you, espcially when you don't feel equipped to analyze and respond to it properly.

If you aren't able to listen in and respond, don't worry - you're one of many.

AND.

This is a skill you can build.

You practice by doing FRIED's Foundational Self Care:

P*e when you need to p*e
Drink when you're thirsty
Cry when your eyes well
Eat when you're hungry
Move when you're restless / antsy

and on and on...

The initial stages of creating this relationship with your body should be simple!

Remember, when it comes to burnout recovery, if it sounds too simple, it'll probably work.

Bullying, abuse, ostracism, harassment, incivility - all of these things are components of a toxic situation. That situation can be at home, at work, or in community.

So often, a burn out story includes one of these elements and so often, I hear these stories alongside another story that says, "I thought that if I did enough, I could protect myself from it".

Folks, unfortunately, the only way to not allow toxic situations to poison you is to remove yourself from them.

This week, .vosen and .mama deep dive into emotional abuse, the burnout it caused, and the revival that happens after you set yourself free.



Listen everywhere you find your podcasts and this week ESPECIALLY - if there is someone that you think of as you listen, hit pause and share it with them immediately. This might be the thing that saves their lives.

At FRIED, we try to not shy away from any topic and this week, we're diving deep into how emotional abuse can steal your energy, burn you out, and deplete your confidence - and then - what you can do to fight back.

Get ready, this episode is an amazing deep dive not only into survival and thriving but also into the wonderful world of the Chinese medicine 5 element theory which our signature burnout recovery course is rooted in.

Understanding yourself through this lens helps you get in touch with your needs, preferences and more.

I want you to listen in and tell us after - what element do you think you are?

I never planned for my platform to be built on "P*e when you need to p*e" but it's happening regardless.

And honestly, it's a sweet reflection of the work I'm asking people to do for burnout recovery - if I want burnt out folk to prioritize foundational self care, it's time to prioritize talking about it.

Foundational self care is where it's at folks.

Here's how it works:

Your body tells you you have a need - in an appropriate time and manner, you respond to it.

When you do this regularly (p*e when you need to p*e, drink when you're thristy, remove yourself from conversations when you're overheated, move when you're antsy, rest when you're tired... and so on...) you improve a skill that is CENTRAL to long term burnout recovery.

That skill is called interoception for my fellow science nerds.

When your interoception increases, you:
1. Hear your body's signals more clearly
2. Improve your emotional regulation (for reals)
3. Create a relationship with your body that is built on the kind of trust that says, "I got your back"
4. Increase your own feelings of safety in the world
5. Increase the energy you can spend on impacting the world in just the way you're meant to
6. Improve your relationships (when you trust you more.. guess what happens + when you are more in tune, you slide away from people giving ick faster)
7. Improve your overall health and wellbeing
8. Decrease your risk of disease

I mean... just do it. :)

Founders: If you’re burning out, your company is, too. Time to rethink the grind.

Imagine working in a way that fuels you. When you’re aligned with your why—and not just grinding to prove something—you don’t just work better, you build a culture that values real breaks and meaningful work. This doesn’t just help you; it creates a team that’s engaged, balanced, and built to last.

A question came up recently in FRIED office hours: Do you feel like you deserve to get paid and keep your job if you aren't consistently self sacrificing and neglecting yourself for it?

We sat with it for awhile and even I had to admit that sometimes it feels like I only deserve to get paid if there's a lot of unpaid work attached or if the task is really difficult.

Do you think that you might have something more enjoyable to bring to the table?

Can work be fun?

Is that allowed?!?!

Listen in to this week's episode of with to hear her answers to these q's!

72% of start up founders say that their business is interfering with their mental health.

ONLY 13% of start up founders get professional help or support for that.

is here to change that.

As a start up founder who burnt out herself, she knows all the traps and tomorrow on FRIED. The Burnout Podcast, she'll share how she got INTO burnout and how she got out of it - plus - how it guided her to her current work.

This episode is for start up founders and also for everyone who has ever reached a goal and then felt stifled by it - for anyone who knew it was time to grow and felt held back - for anyone who got blindsided by burnout while following a passion.
