"Am I Burned Out? Or Just Exhausted?"
There’s one key difference between the two.

Victoria here, Girlboss’ executive editor. 👋
I know, I know. You’re probably burned out from all this talk of burnout. But unfortunately, it’s still very much a thing. Last year, burnout hit a six-year high, and a lot of us are asking ourselves the same question: “Am I actually burned out? Or do I just need a vacation?”
To clear it up, we tapped a mental health expert to break down the real difference between exhaustion and burnout. Spoiler: there’s one key distinction most of us are missing—and it has nothing to do with your bedtime or a better self-care routine. 😴
