Burnout is everywhere right now.

The world feels heavy. Work is demanding. Our nervous systems are tired. And somehow, we’re still expected to “practice mindfulness” like we have unlimited time, energy, and silence.

In this episode of Drink More Water, Amanda sits down with meditation, mindfulness, and movement leader Rosa Castaño for some much-needed soft advice for stressful times — and a more realistic approach to self-care: being semi-mindful.

Not perfect.
Not zen 24/7.
Just present enough to notice what your body is telling you — before stress turns into full-blown burnout.

Rosa shares how to:

• Recognize your personal stress style
• Spot early burnout signals in your body and behavior
• Create simple mindfulness habits that actually fit into real life
• Practice self-care without adding more pressure to your to-do list
• Build emotional resilience at work and at home
• Fear less, enjoy more, and stop waiting for life to be perfect

We also talk about her powerful life advice — “have the audacity” — and why so many of us aren’t actually afraid of failure… we’re afraid of what success might change.

As a certified meditation, mindfulness, and movement leader with a background in the corporate world, Rosa works with individuals and companies to implement practical stress-management strategies and workshops that support emotional well-being in the workplace.

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in survival mode, this conversation will meet you exactly where you are.

You don’t have to fix everything.
You don’t have to meditate for an hour.
You don’t have to be perfect.

You just have to start noticing.
