Host Brittany Canaski welcomes Mandy Rogers to discuss investing in your relationship with yourself as a proactive way to prevent stress and burnout. Mandy shares her experience with early burnout, and the warning signs she watches for, including deep fatigue, withdrawing socially, and losing optimism and joy. They explore how “solo dates” help Mandy stop self-abandoning, reconnect internally, and recharge through unplugged, intentional time alone, which also strengthens boundaries at work and in relationships. Mandy outlines three “layers” of solo dates—from small at-home rituals like puzzling, to outings like concerts, to solo travel. If you're new to solo dating, Mandy offers tips for easing discomfort, reducing phone dependence, and prioritizing safety.
