In episode eight of the Teen Junction podcast, Cindy Poluta chats to life coach and author Judy Klipin, an expert on burnout.
Listen below:
“It’s quite hard sometimes to differentiate between burnout and depression… when burnout progresses, it can result in clinical depression.”
– Judy Klipin, life coach and author
“With teenagers, it is particularly hard because there is just so much going on with them… being a teenager is hard enough.”
– Judy Klipin, life coach and author
Teenagers will need help and guidance, as their brains are not yet developed enough to handle this amount of stress and exhaustion at such a young age.
