About this listen

You’re not meant to be permanently exhausted—it’s time to take your energy back!

If you’re stuck in constant overwhelm, it’s not normal—and you don’t have to keep living this way.

The world pressures us to always do more, but pushing nonstop only leads to stress, burnout, and lost joy.

Author Calissa Ngozi knows this firsthand. After reaching her own breaking point, she discovered practical ways to reclaim balance and peace. Now, she shares the tools that can help you do the same.

Inside, you’ll discover:

  • The signs of burnout—and how to clear mental and physical clutter
  • Simple regulation techniques to restore balance to your body and mind
  • How to build emotional resilience and reconnect with yourself
  • Why self-care is essential (and how to make time for it without guilt)
  • Effective ways to set boundaries and protect your well-being

Burnout is real—and often hidden, even from yourself. If you feel like time is always against you, you may already be there.

It’s not selfish to put yourself first. In fact, it’s the only way you can truly show up as your best self.

This empathetic, practical guide will show you how—so start your journey today.

“Emotional self-care through the lens of resilience means letting yourself cry without having to explain it” — wow, no truer words have been spoken and Calissa Ngozi does a fantastic job of helping listeners understand that when we allow ourselves to feel our emotions and express themselves as they need to without judgement (obviously in safe environments), reparation is a natural byproduct. “The four domains of self care” chapter was of particular note to me but this title is packed with self-help goodness that clears emotional baggage and begins the process toward betterment.

I picked this up during a stretch where I felt constantly drained, and it made me rethink how I treat my own time and energy. The guidance encouraged me to pause and actually pay attention to what my body was telling me. I tried a few suggestions right away and felt calmer within days. It reminded me that rest is not something to earn later. I’m showing up to my days with more clarity and less tension.

The Oxygen Mask Mindset by Calissa Ngozi is a warm, down to earth guide for spot on what burnout feels like and how to get your spark back without runnin yourself into the ground.
The writin’s clear and kind, and it flows dead smooth..... from noticin the signs to tryin out daily tools that actually help. That C.A.R.E. method was boss..... helped me map out simple self care across body, mind, mates and reflection, so rest became part of the routine, not just somethin you squeeze in when you’re wrecked.
The bits on settin boundaries and rethinkin how you use your time felt proper real, not just fluffy advice. And the ideas for free little breaks and planned stillness? Easy to try and surprisingly sound.
Some themes pop up more than once, but it’s more like a gentle nudge than goin round in circles. All in all, it’s steady, compassionate support for anyone who’s ready to breathe again and feel a bit more like themselves.
