    S2E4: Summer 2026 - More Water, Less Burnout

    Are you feeling the fiery chaos of summer taking a toll on your mind and body? This episode reveals the hidden signs of burnout before it fully hits—so you can intervene early and thrive instead of just surviving. This episode empowers you to recognize early warning signs, cultivate resilience, and embrace seasonal self-care. Whether you’re balancing work, relationships, or your own inner chaos, this is your guide to navigating burnout with clarity and calm. We dive deep into how summer’s intense energy can drain your capacity and destabilize your mental, emotional, and physical health. Grace and Jen explore real stories from their practices, and share practical insights grounded in Chinese medicine and therapy. You’ll discover the seasonal patterns affecting your organs, the subtle cues your body gives when it’s out of balance, and the crucial difference between feeling ‘toasty’ and burnt out. Perfect for anyone feeling drained, overwhelmed, or looking to optimize their health as summer peaks. Tune in to discover how gentle adjustments now can safeguard your wellbeing long-term. If you’re ready to be proactive instead of reactive, this episode will inspire you to flow like water through the chaos—in body, mind, and spirit. Lastly, you’re welcome to join our first collaborative workshop on July 15th 2026! The in-person experience on how to use practical tips to care for yourself through depression and anxiety will be at Jen’s office in Pasadena. You'll learn gua sha techniques, create some arts & crafts, and spend restorative time getting to know yourself and others in a more holistic manner.
