Burnout, Boundaries, and Balance: A Real Talk on Rest, Work, and Wellness

In this heartfelt and candid episode, Michelle and Samah open up about the realities of burnout, the challenges of constant travel, and the emotional toll of balancing community work, career, and personal life. From globe-trotting across major WordPress events to learning when to pause and recharge, they share their experiences of exhaustion, recovery, and the importance of self-care.
They also dive into deeper reflections on cultural expectations, the pressure women face in both professional and personal spaces, and how vulnerability can foster resilience. Amidst laughter, friendship, and a few rubber ducky moments, this conversation serves as a reminder that it’s okay to slow down, ask for help, and find joy in the little things.
