How to Prevent Burnout in 2026 (Our Rituals to Recharge & Rest)

How to Prevent Burnout in 2026 (Our Rituals to Recharge & Rest)

Author: Lori Harder | YAP Media January 13, 2026 Duration: 17:28
Chris and I went on a recharge walk and listened to a podcast episode of Lewis Howes with psychologist Dr. Guy Winch ("How to Detach From Work Before It Destroys Your Life") that completely shifted how we think about burnout. In this episode, we break down why your workday doesn’t actually end when your meetings end, it ends when you stop thinking about work. We talk about the difference between relaxing and recharging, why scrolling isn’t rest, and how learning something new, moving your body, and creating end-of-day rituals can completely change your energy.

Hosted by entrepreneur and author Lori Harder, Earn Your Happy is a raw and relatable look at what it actually takes to build a meaningful life and business. This podcast lives in the messy middle ground between a bold vision and its realization, exploring the risks, the failures, and all those moments of doubt that nobody talks about on a polished highlight reel. Lori’s conversations are grounded in real experience-her own journey as a founder and host-and they cut through the noise of typical business advice. You’ll hear honest stories about the rollercoaster of chasing big goals, where laughter and vulnerability are just as important as strategy. It’s this authentic, no-BS approach that has resonated with so many, earning the show recognition as a top entrepreneurship podcast. Each episode feels like a candid talk with a friend who’s been there, offering not just inspiration but practical perspectives for navigating your own path. Tune in for a dose of reality that’s as motivating as it is genuine, proving that building something you love is never a straight line.
