12: Running on Empty

We don’t love the word “burnout.” It’s buzzy, overused, and often doesn’t reflect the complexity of what it actually feels like when your body starts saying no.

In this solo episode, Jasmine shares the story of what was really happening behind the scenes when Oko was at its peak. On paper, the business was thriving. She was busy, productive, even energized. But underneath the momentum was a body and nervous system running on fumes. It wasn’t until the pace slowed down that everything caught up with her—joint pain, brain fog, hormone disruption, and exhaustion.

She shares what helped—from simple, free habits to more resourced interventions—and how she’s redefined what wellness looks like for her now.
