Your videos always scream *_AUTHENTICITY_* . And probably that's why you have lots of people supporting you. Therapy isn't always linear just like how healing is. It allows us to embrace not just the good but the bad too. Burnouts on the other hand, can be very tricky. First thing I try to do is to avoid anything negative. Second is, I just allow my body to feel it. Because it is normal. I lay down, rest, sleep, cry, read a book, maybe watch a movie (or not)... just allowing my body to recover. Third is being able to say "no" sometimes is important. Honestly watching you grow, I would say you're doing pretty well handling burnouts. Hope you're doing better these days! Stay safe!

honestly, your videos always make my day, so thank you for constantly sharing little bits and bobs of your life with us🥺 as others have mentioned, what really stands out to me are your wholehearted authenticity and relatability. What you said about your therapy sessions feeling draining recently - I totally get that!! I’ve felt the same way about my own therapy sessions at times and still do, but am trying to keep in mind that healing is not linear. Rather than a quick fix, I remind myself that it is more of a process that sometimes requires hard work and facing underlying fears, traumas and patterns which can absolutely feel scary and draining - and that’s okay!! It’s all part of the journey that I’m trying to embrace. I do hope you are feeling better these days and hope you can find the rest and relaxation that you deserve. Sending much love your way, Michelle🤍

i am witnessing a youtuber getting alongwith growing radiating and successful... i get inspired to start something new each time i watch her videos...honestly stressing due to over working and not having time to think out of work makes our personal development stagnant. which is basically burnout and mental stress! but i am making time out , taking therapy, painting canvases helps, doing your favourite hobby does..About michelle s each video has different vibes and some of them are fun loving light and expressively joyful and some are numb and stale normal human living in nyc ! we actually connect to every moods of her and experience sometimes living in nyc isnt about working being rich or always doing something but also taking breaks and handling breakdowns and getting confused and homesickness too !

I've just recovered from a burnout. I am a fresh grad reviewing for a license. Everything is so difficult because of the pandemic, new normal, and transition in life. I was so anxious if I was doing anything right, and one night, my mind was too exhausted to handle everything, so I was crying uncontrollably. I let everything out, and I felt my weakness. After that, my mind was clearer. A good cry is a must. Don't be afraid to let it out. It will help you breath from the heaviness of your thoughts. I also want to tell you that you have the power to change anything in your life; the choices are yours, the decisions are yours, and the life is yours. At the end of the day, whatever happens, the people who truly love you will always love you and support you. We can all do this. ♥️ Everyday is a chance to live and to learn. Failures and mistakes are part of growth. We should be enjoying this life because this will be our only life. Enjoy the process as this will lead us to the life we want to live and be the person we want to be.

It's not a tip so to speak but I finally realised no-one is going to swoop in and help lift you out of burn out - that has to come from you. My job is and always will be stressed and high pressured and that's not going to change. The thing that can change is me and how I handle that stress. Still working on it but the first step to avoiding burn out is BOUNDARIES. Set strict boundaries and don't compromise on them. They are the start to healthy habits! Good luck! 💖
