187 - Why You NEED an Off Season
Manage episode 521166178 series 2422995
Burnout doesn’t show up all at once — it creeps in slowly, disguised as exhaustion, irritability, or the sinking feeling that you’re no longer doing anything well. In this episode, we dig into what burnout looks like in roller derby and in leadership roles, how to recognize when you’re hitting your limits, and why stepping away might be the most powerful move you can make.
If you’ve been feeling drained, stuck, or unsure whether you’re still in love with Derby, this episode is your permission slip to breathe, explore, and reset.
And now to put on my magic ring and disappear for a bit. I'll be back in 2026 with more episodes! Until then, listen to the previous 186 episodes, take care of yourselves, and each other. xoxo ~ Jackie Bauer
