You can be booked out and still feel exhausted, overwhelmed, and constantly behind.

In this episode of Lindsey Talks Tech, we’re talking about a common misconception: burnout doesn’t always come from doing too much. A lot of the time, it comes from running a business without systems that actually support you.

Because when everything lives in your head—follow-ups, client steps, admin tasks, delivery—rest doesn’t feel restful. Even time off feels stressful.

We’ll break down what burnout really looks like behind the scenes, why being booked is not the same as being supported, and the first place to look if you’re feeling maxed out: your client flow.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

• Why burnout isn’t always caused by workload
• The hidden systems gaps that create constant overwhelm
• Why being booked doesn’t automatically mean you’re supported
• What “client flow” includes (and why it matters)
• What to stop doing if burnout is creeping in
