We’ll unpack how burnout shows up in our bodies, businesses, and relationships, and more importantly, how to navigate it with intention. Jeanine shares practical strategies for recognizing when you’re hitting that wall, setting boundaries that actually stick, and rebuilding a sustainable aesthetic practice that doesn’t drain your passion.
