128: Burned out? You're over-available to everyone & everything, here's weird things I’m doing.

WOC and Allies: Business and Career Realtalk with Elaine Lou Cartas · Jan 22, 2026 · 24m · transcript

Main Points

Burnout seems to be a trending word, so what do we do? It’s not about working harder. In this episode I share:

Why you SHOULDN’T be doing a lot in 1 day (it takes ~ 23 minutes to refocus)

Why “doing nothing” is actually how clarity forms (there’s science behind it)

Why and how over-availability becomes a survival skill especially for women

My results of when I stopped designing my life around “urgency”
