🔥Exhausted but can’t seem to recover? You’re not just tired — you might be burned out.

In this powerful episode of The Sync’d Self, I sit down with Dr. Angelova, a Consult-Liaison Psychiatrist who specializes in physician wellness, trauma, and the connection between medical and mental health. Together, we unpack what burnout really is, how it sneaks up on you, and why sleep or vacation days often aren’t enough to fix it.

I also share my own story of hitting burnout during the pandemic — and how a climb up a volcano in Guatemala taught me the truth about recovery: it’s not about quick fixes, it’s about rhythm, awareness, and step-by-step progress.

💡 In this episode, you’ll discover:

• The difference between being tired and being truly burned out

• Why burnout disrupts your natural energy cycles

• Hidden ways burnout affects your health, focus, and relationships

• Small, realistic steps to break the cycle and start recharging today

👉 Burnout isn’t the end — it’s a signal. Tune in to learn how to listen to it, reset, and take back your energy.

Ever felt like you’ve completely run out of energy — like your “tank” is empty and nothing can get you going again? The truth is, energy doesn’t work like a gas tank. It flows in cycles — rising and dipping throughout the day.

In this episode, Jesse reframes the way we think about energy and shares three quick resets you can use to recharge without relying on another cup of coffee or forcing yourself to grind harder. You’ll learn:

Why energy naturally rises and dips during the day.

How to spot your personal peaks and slumps.

Three simple resets — movement, posture, and sensory shifts — that take less than two minutes.

By the end of this episode, you’ll see energy not as something you run out of, but as a rhythm you can sync with to boost focus, productivity, and balance.

✨ Weekly Challenge: Track your energy cycles for two days, then try one reset during your next dip and see the difference.

Tune in, sync up, and thrive.

Anxiety is something so many of us face, yet it’s often misunderstood or left unspoken. In this special episode of The Sync’d Self, I sit down with Ramon Sanchez, LCSW — a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, co-owner of Cultura Mental Health, and host of the Destigmatize Mental Health Podcast.

Ramon is also the President of Raices of Kern, where he champions a community-first approach to ensure Latino and Hispanic families have access to the resources and support they need. Drawing from both his professional expertise and his personal mission, Ramon brings an honest, approachable perspective to the conversation on anxiety.

Together, we explore:
✔️ What anxiety really is (and how it differs from everyday stress)
✔️ Signs you might be overlooking in yourself or others
✔️ Quick, practical tools to calm anxiety in the moment
✔️ Why breaking the stigma matters — especially in underserved communities

This episode is a reminder that no matter where you are in your journey, you are not alone.
