Episode Highlights:

• Burnout as a Wake-Up Call: Karolina shares how she didn’t even realize she was crying at her desk — a powerful sign of disconnection from herself.
• The Trap of 'Doing It All': Raised to believe that being good meant being available, Karolina wore exhaustion like a badge of honor — until her body said no.
• Back to Basics: Her healing started not with big gestures, but with asking herself, “What do I need right now?”
• The Power of Tiny Moments: A cup of tea without a phone, a walk under blooming roses, or listening to birds — these became her medicine.
• Journaling with a Twist: She replaced traditional gratitude practices with “What went well today — and why?”
• One-Size-Doesn’t-Fit-All: From introvert to extrovert, self-care must be personalized — not based on what influencers preach.
• Practical Tip: Add small self-care tasks (like a walk or tea break) to your to-do list. Your brain treats it as a win — and your body gets a moment of peace.
