Holiday Burnout vs Being a Grinch
The holidays don’t just bring joy—they bring exhaustion, overload, and unrealistic expectations. In this episode, we break down why so many people feel burned out, grumpy, or “two hearts too small” this time of year—and how to tell the difference between normal fatigue and real burnout.
Host: Jim Lang
Guest: Sim Chhabra — Registered Therapist, Horizon Within (CBT, burnout, emotional regulation, stress management)
In this episode, we cover:
• Why holiday burnout is so common across all generations
• How to tell the difference between a bad day, burnout, and deeper emotional fatigue
• The Green–Yellow–Red energy framework to measure your capacity
• Practical reframing tools like the Santa Method and “The World Can Wait”
• Simple ways to replenish mental energy using the carbs, proteins, and fats model
This conversation gives you language and tools to protect your energy—without guilt—during the most demanding season of the year.
