Bliss Not Burnout

Burnout doesn’t show up overnight, it creeps in slowly, masked as productivity, people-pleasing, and pretending you're fine. In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano is joined by Dr. Roberta Garceau for a grounded conversation about the realities of stress, the importance of self-advocacy, and why wellness doesn’t need to be overwhelming to be effective. Dr. Garceau introduces the concept of Elemental Wellness—a blend of Western medicine and time-honored traditional practices that bring healing back to basics. Together, she and Lyndsay explore how small, consistent shifts in daily habits can have a big impact on physical and emotional resilience. They talk about the importance of tuning into your needs, practicing self-compassion, and letting go of the pressure to “do wellness” perfectly. Because sometimes the most powerful thing you can do for your health is also the simplest. Tune in if you’re craving a more realistic, sustainable way to take care of yourself, without burning out trying to get there.
