In this honest and reflective conversation, Malisa and Angie unpack what burnout really looks like beneath the surface—mental fatigue, emotional depletion, and the quiet grief that often lives alongside productivity. They explore how unspoken emotional needs show up in friendships and relationships, the tension between self-reliance and connection, and why communication becomes harder when we're exhausted. Together, they discuss the role of intuition, vulnerability, and presence in building authentic relationships, while honoring the reality that healing and growth don't happen in isolation.

Notice where you are asking yourself to "power through" instead of pausing to listen. Burnout isn't just about workload—it's often a signal that an emotional need is unmet. This week, practice naming what you actually need (rest, reassurance, space, or connection) and communicate it clearly to yourself or someone you trust. Self-care isn't just what you do alone; it's also allowing yourself to be seen, supported, and human in real time

In this heartfelt episode, hosts Malisa Hepner and Angie Hawkins celebrate reaching 100 downloads of their podcast—an intimate milestone that opens the door to deeper reflections on purpose, patience, and managing expectations in the podcasting world. As the conversation unfolds, they explore the meaning of community, the evolving definitions of family, and the importance of boundaries when navigating relationships during times of grief. Malisa shares personal insights from her ongoing journey after the loss of her son, Jake, while Angie offers compassion, perspective, and grounding wisdom. Together, they address common misconceptions about grief, the many ways people cope with loss, and why there is no single "right" way to heal. This episode is a gentle reminder that small milestones matter, grief is not linear, and authentic connection is the true measure of success.

Take 10 minutes this week to honor a "small" milestone in your life—something you've minimized or overlooked. Journal on these prompts:

• What did it take emotionally, physically, or spiritually to reach this point?
  
  

• Where have I been comparing my timeline to someone else's?
  
  

• What would it feel like to let this moment be enough for now?
  
  

Then, choose one boundary that protects your energy during grief or emotional overwhelm and practice honoring it without explanation or apology.
