Burnout doesn’t always look like falling apart—sometimes it looks like holding everything together until there’s nothing left for you. In this episode of *Relatively Unqualified*, we sit down with Kristin Fettig to have a conversation about tools to navigate Mental Health that really work. Kristin is a Mental Health Architect and founder of her consulting practice focused on stress, burnout, resilience, mental health education, and practical tools for navigating pressure. What happens when you’re still showing up for everyone else, but you’re running on empty? In this episode, Nic and Darra sit down with Mental Health Architect Kristin Fettig for an honest conversation about stress, burnout, resilience, boundaries, and the pressure so many of us feel to just keep pushing. Kristin breaks down why resilience isn’t about endlessly powering through hard seasons,it’s about recognizing your capacity, responding to what your mind and body are telling you, and learning how to re-fill what life keeps taking out. The conversation gets personal as Darra opens up about wondering how you know when a difficult season has reached the point where it’s time to seek therapy, Nic opens up about his own resistance to asking for help, and the group talks about the guilt that can come with setting boundaries or choosing yourself. From “spoon theory” and habit stacking to grounding exercises and 30 minutes of intentional self-care, this episode is full of practical ways to start making life feel a little lighter. Because sometimes giving the bare minimum really is giving 100% of what you have—and that counts.
