0:00.0	Hey, welcome to Motherkind. It is me, your host, Soe Blaski. I am so happy you were here, and I cannot wait for you to hear this episode, one of our most downloaded in 2025. Enjoy.
0:18.3	Welcome to Motherkind. This is the podcast that's going to help you feel validated, supported and understood in motherhood, even in our world of endless expectations. How are you all? I hope you're all doing okay. I am recording this intro in the studio in London. We've been here for a couple of days recording six incredible episodes. And it's just been amazing.
0:39.0	And I feel so lucky to be able to have these conversations. And that truly is all because of you,
0:45.5	our listeners. So thank you for being here for listening. It really does mean more than I can say.
0:51.4	Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an episode and please do leave a review
0:55.4	if you loved this episode. This week's episode is a really important one because it is on burnout.
1:03.5	Dr Claire Ashley has just released a book called The Burnout Doctor, Your Six-Step Recovery Plan,
1:09.7	after her experience of burning out as a GP
1:12.6	and mum of two and her recovery. There are a couple of things I think are really important about

1:24.3	and that is so vital because you can't change what you're not aware of. And I learned that
1:30.9	the recovery time from burnout is one to three years. Isn't that wild for full recovery? So we really,
1:39.1	really want to avoid getting to that place. And I know that this episode is going to help you do that because
1:45.6	Dr. Claire's shares so much about the signs that you can start to recognize now and do something
1:53.0	about it before you get to that full blown crisis point, which we absolutely want to avoid.
1:59.3	This episode is eye-opening.
2:01.9	It's supportive.
2:03.2	And I think it might just save you or a family member or a friend from burnout.
2:07.8	And that is really, really powerful.
2:09.3	So I hope you love it.
2:10.7	Please do share this episode far and wide.
2:13.4	We need to get these ideas and this information to as many moms as we possibly can.
