Are you tired—or are you burned out?

In this powerful episode of The Kitchen Table Dreams Podcast, Coach Chef Kimberly Houston opens up about the moment she chose to close her photography business and what it revealed about burnout, boundaries, and reclaiming purpose. This isn’t just a story—it’s a permission slip.

If you’ve ever felt drained, overcommitted, or out of alignment, this slow-cooked episode is for you. Kimberly walks you through the 5 key ingredients in her “Recipe for Rest Without Guilt”:

• Permission: Reclaim your ‘yes’ by honoring your ‘no’
• Boundaries: Protect your peace like your future depends on it
• Reframing: Shift your mindset from obligation to intention
• Strategy: Build rest into your routine, not just recovery
• Community: Surround yourself with people who help you refill, not deplete

Whether you’re in a creative slump, facing decision fatigue, or just ready to stop running on empty, this conversation is your invitation to recalibrate.
