This week on Self Care Club, we welcome Jo Hutton, yoga teacher, writer, trainer and creator of Yoga for Tired People, one of the world's leading health and wellbeing Substacks.
Despite spending years teaching wellbeing practices, Jo experienced severe burnout in 2022. In this powerful conversation, she shares what burnout really looked like behind the scenes, why knowing about self-care isn't the same as practising it, and what genuine recovery actually requires.
Together, we explore burnout recovery, nervous system regulation, chronic exhaustion, the difference between rest and recovery, and why so many people still feel tired even after taking time off. Jo also explains how the deeper teachings of yoga helped her recover and why rest may be a skill most of us have never learned.
If you're feeling constantly exhausted, overwhelmed, burnt out or stuck in survival mode, this episode offers a compassionate and evidence-informed perspective on recovery.
Self Care Club is the podcast that cuts through wellness myths and explores what really works for health, wellbeing, burnout recovery and self-care.
