0:00.0	Welcome to Motherkind. It is me, your host, Zoe Blaski, and we are proudly sponsored by Stoker.
0:13.7	This is the podcast that's going to help you feel validated, supported and understood in motherhood,
0:18.7	even in our world of endless expectations. How are you all? I hope you
0:23.5	all doing okay. I am recording this intro in the studio in London. We've been here for a couple of
0:28.5	days, recording six incredible episodes. And it's just been amazing. And I feel so lucky to be
0:34.5	able to have these conversations. And that truly is all because of you, our listeners.
0:40.0	So thank you for being here for listening. It really does mean more than I can say. Make sure
0:45.6	you're subscribed so you never miss an episode. And please do leave a review if you loved this episode.
0:51.6	This week's episode is a really important one because it is on burnout.
0:57.7	Dr. Claire Ashley has just released a book called The Burnout Doctor, Your Six-Step
1:02.6	Recovery Plan, after her experience of burning out as a GP and mum of two and her recovery.
1:09.3	There are a couple of things I think are really important about this episode.

1:23.4	And I learned that the recovery time from burnout is one to three years. Isn't that wild for full recovery? So we really, really want to avoid getting to that place. And I know that this episode is going to help you do that because Dr. Claire's shares so much about the signs that you can start to recognise now and do something
1:46.8	about it before you get to that full blown crisis point, which we absolutely want to avoid.
1:53.2	This episode is eye-opening. It's supportive. And I think it might just save you or a family
1:59.4	member or a friend from burnout and that is really,
2:02.5	really powerful. So I hope you love it. Please do share this episode far and wide. We need to get
2:08.1	these ideas and this information to as many moms as we possibly can. Here it is. I hope you love it.
2:17.1	A quick word from our headline sponsor, Stockoker. And today I want to tell you about the
2:21.9	incredible new Yo-Yo-3. I'm lucky enough to have one and it is amazing. And even when it gets
