What happens when being “strong” becomes exhausting?
We’re going deeper in Part 2 of our Burnout conversation on The Disconnect Podcast, and this time we're unpacking what happens when the pressure to keep pushing finally catches up with you.
Joined by King Mullah, J No the Sun King and Eyebee Knowing explore the physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual sides of burnout—and why so many people continue to push themselves even when they're running on empty.
Is burnout really about being overworked?
Or can it come from constantly being responsible for everyone else, suppressing emotions, chasing success, surviving difficult circumstances, or simply losing connection with yourself?

🌱 How do you reconnect with yourself after burnout?
King Mullah brings another perspective to the conversation as we ask a question many people are afraid to admit:
“What if I'm not lazy… what if I'm just exhausted?”
This isn't just a conversation about taking a vacation or getting more sleep.
It's about recognizing when your mind, body, spirit, and relationships are telling you that something has to change.
We are the podcast that heals and builds.
Our mission is to explore the ways we're disconnected—from ourselves, our relationships, our culture, our spirituality, and our communities—and have the conversations that can help us reconnect.
