we snuck in a cheeky episode on burnout this week (our last proper episode for the next two weeks)! check it out on Spotify!

this week, we tackle burnout, a suspiciously relevant topic coming into the middle of semester and amidst the influx of assignments and exams that have no doubt come our way! come and join Sinead and Cat in discussions about what burnout is, strategies for tackling assessment stress, being overwhelmed by THINGS IN GENERAL and astrology (???), packaged neatly in a bundle full of stressed out peace signs! burnout is something we all experience at least one in our university experiences and we hope that talking about our pain and suffering during assessments and how we have dealt with them will help you out too!
