THE REAL COST OF BURNOUT | Kavyal Sedanni | Candid Confessions

Burnout isn't just about feeling tired after a long day. It's the slow erosion of your energy, motivation, relationships, and even your sense of self. We often wear exhaustion as a badge of honour, but the real cost of burnout goes far beyond the workplace.

In this episode of Candid Confessions With Chhavi, Psycho-Spiritual Healer KAVYAL SEDANNI, speaks about what burnout really is, why so many people fail to recognise it, how it affects our physical and mental health, our relationships, and what we can do to break the cycle before it takes a lasting toll.

Whether you're constantly juggling work, family, caregiving, or simply feeling emotionally drained, this conversation will help you identify the warning signs and understand why recovery is not a luxury - it's essential.
