Show Notes
What happens when a school director tells you to stop caring so much about struggling students? For Dr. Teresa Malito-Connors, that crushing moment sparked a journey from Broadway dreams to PhD research—and ultimately revolutionized how professionals handle stress.
After working with teens facing eating disorders, psychosis, and severe depression, Teresa discovered something alarming: she wasn't alone in her struggle to separate work from personal life. But when her boss offered zero support for managing the emotional toll, Teresa made a decision that would impact thousands.
Here's where her story takes an unexpected turn: while building a business around evidence-based self-care, she experienced her own dramatic burnout—despite being a self-care expert. What happened when her business came to a "screeching halt"? And how did a theater background become the secret weapon against professional exhaustion?
Teresa reveals the shocking statistics about alcohol-related deaths among women, shares why "mani-pedis and bubble baths" aren't real self-care, and explains her counterintuitive approach to boundaries. Plus, discover the 10 domains that actually matter and why she believes entrepreneurs are particularly vulnerable to burnout.
Ready to learn why even self-care experts need saving—and how theater techniques can transform your stress management?
