Testing, testing one, one, two three. Okay, all right. Hello, hello everyone. I'm Lexi Lombard, host to the at Lexi Podcast and this is a part

tier to last week's episode. The theme is Burnout. I'm referencing a book called Burn Out the Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle by Emily and Amelia Nagowski

So last week I had mentioned that my

Still doesn't feel real, but my Uncle Carlos has passed away. When you lose like a more distant family member or friend,

like when I lost one of my friends that I knew from high school.

I'm still sort of in denial about that because I only would see her over holidays or summer anyway.

So in my head she's just away playing the cross and my uncle he's just at the farm and losing I've lost so many family members and I've lost friends. I don't know why I've dealt with so much death at such a young age. I think about this all the time. I don't know what it is. I don't know that I'm destined to open up a grief counseling service or what. I don't know what this is for. It's so heavy. It's so heavy.

It's so heavy. Anyways, I was already dealing with a lot of family stress. I was already

dealing with a lot of holiday stress. I was already dealing with a lot of holiday stress and I was

not in the lightest chapter of my life. Let's just say this current set of episodes of

my life are not filler episodes. No, no, no. I was already feeling it's why I'd

gotten back to Los Angeles recorded the episode called My relationship with

food, my body, and beauty. I was really excited to get back in routine, feel super good, get back into a system, do what I need to do to make myself feel the way that I want to feel.

And that I got this call I was like oh this is

hilariously bad like I have to fly right right back this is not cute this is not fun

this is not what I want. It's not what I want. It's not what anyone wants, but I'm included in that anyone.

I'm like, we're going to figure this out. I need actionable steps. Like I'm on the brink of a meltdown at any moment. I need something, some sort of advice.

So I got this book and I start reading because I need help. And I thought, okay, we're going

to take this into the podcast studio, because there is no way towards the end of

the year that I'm the only one dealing with burnout. I know burnout is a feeling

that we all experience at one point or another but I think there's a high

percentage of people feeling it right now.
