13 | 3 Burnout Warning Signs Every Entrepreneur Should Watch For

As the holiday season picks up, many entrepreneurs find themselves juggling full schedules, family expectations, year-end goals, and the pressure to finish strong. If your energy feels stretched thin or your peace feels harder to access right now… you are not alone.

In today’s holiday-themed episode, we’re uncovering three major burnout warning signs every high-achieving entrepreneur needs to watch for in December - before the overwhelm snowballs into exhaustion.

These signs are subtle, sneaky, and easy to overlook when you're focused on clients, business growth, holiday plans, and everyone else’s needs.

You’ll learn:

✨ Why December burnout looks different, and why it hits entrepreneurs harder ✨ The #1 boundary slip that silently fuels overwhelm ✨ How energy crashes are actually your Inner CEO waving a red flag ✨ The grounding habits that fall away first (and why that matters) ✨ How to protect your peace as you close out the year ✨ Simple ways to support your mind, body, and business during the holiday season

If you want to enter 2026 feeling aligned, clear, energized, and supported - not stressed and stretched - this episode will help you catch burnout before it catches you.
