EP 17 Chin Chats: Health Burnout and Stress from Chronic Illness

In this episode of Chin Chats, Spencer dives into the topic of health burnout, particularly in the context of chronic illnesses that require long-term care and treatments. She shares her personal journey of navigating chronic health struggles, explaining how burnout isn't just about being overworked, but about battling your own body. Spencer explores the mental challenges of "all or nothing" thinking and the importance of embracing the "yet" – leaving space for possibility rather than resignation. With tips on managing expectations, finding moments of relief, and practicing self-compassion, this episode offers encouragement for women struggling with chronic health conditions.

Plus, Spencer reflects on a favorite movie that embraces the need to take "vacations" from the weight of health challenges and how small breaks can bring big healing.
