Today Mary & Mallika discuss the need for a break and the importance of listening to your body before burnout. You know that feeling when you reach the point where you’re physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted due to prolonged and excessive stress at work? Ya, that leads you to burnout. You start to malfunction in your daily life, work less and become unproductive. Nobody willingly burns themselves out. We all want a productive and stress-free work life so we remain our best selves for the rest of life. In this episode we discusses why taking breaks daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, and yearly is crucial to rejuvenating our body and rewiring our minds.

People Pleasing is LYING with Natalie Lue

Welcome to This Could Work — a podcast where we not only tout self-love, we attempt to put it into action. Join us, Mary Young and Mallika Viegas, as we explore the ever trending and sometimes monetized world of self-care. We are honest, open and above all, human. We aim to explore whether self-care practises are all they’re cracked up to be — or if they’re just another passing trend. Through meeting with different experts (scientists, therapists, friends and professionals), we explore and uncover whether these additions to our routine could have profound life long impacts.  

Look, the last thing any of us want right now is another person telling us we NEED to be incorporating another thing into our busy lives; but with the right incentive and result based research we are committed to presenting self-care in a way that’s accessible. We are all about learning alongside you as we go because — growth, baby!  Join us for new episodes every Tuesday.
