It's Not Just You with Gretchen DeKnikker [Q&A + Free Coaching]

Dreading Monday + Glorifying Burnout

Let’s be real: if your company worships the grind and hands out gold stars for skipping lunch, it’s no wonder you feel guilty for wanting balance.

In this episode, I’m tackling two questions I hear all the time:
👉 What do I do when my company glorifies overwork but I actually want a life?
👉 How do I enjoy my time off without that creeping dread about Monday?

Here’s the truth your hustle-loving workplace won’t tell you: you don’t need to earn your rest. And dreading the return isn’t a personal failure—it’s a nervous system response to chronic overload. We’ll talk about how to rewire your thinking, stop tying your worth to output, and start protecting your peace like it’s your job.

Because it is.

✨ PLUS: In the second half of the call, I’m offering free coaching on whatever workplace issue is keeping you stuck. Bring it all—burnout, boundaries, bad bosses—I’ve got you.
