Emilie Aries, the founder and CEO of Bossed Up, is here to talk with us about burnout and how it impacts divorcing women. Burnout is not just an issue related to work, it’s a very real thing that is affected by chronic stressors in all areas of life.
Some of the warning signs of burnout include physical and emotional exhaustion, as well as feelings of cynicism and detachment. One of the biggest contributing factors to women feeling burnt out is role overload. We see this with women who take on the unpaid labor of childrearing and household duties, often in addition to demanding careers.
Emilie has some strategies for preventing burnout and steps you can take if you suspect you’re headed toward burnout. Setting boundaries, prioritizing sleep and time alone, and finding your sense of purpose can all help. Most importantly, know that you are not alone and that other women are facing burnout during divorce, and there are resources available to help you.
