You're Not Burned Out, You're Carrying Too Much
​
We've been taught to call our exhaustion burnout. But what if it's actually the emotional weight we carry every day? In this talk, Danielle C Baker reframes exhaustion through the lens of self-leadership, helping women understand what's draining them and why rest alone isn't enough. Attendees will leave with practical tools they can use immediately to release emotional overload, set unapologetic boundaries, and lead their lives with clarity instead of constant depletion.
