00:00Since you're on Dancing with the Stars, maybe you can teach me some dance moves.
00:03Oh my gosh, I would love to.
00:05Fly! Oh, ow! I'm cram.
00:11Hey, what's up? I'm Gabbie Hanna, and as you might be able to tell, all my plans are dead.
00:16Today, I am with Allie Brooke, who you might recognize from being, you know, an incredible singer, performer, dancer, all
00:22around Jeb.
00:23Stupid. Thank you!
00:25Yes, today we're talking about burnout syndrome, which is basically just a constant state of mental and physical exhaustion.
00:31And it comes from working basically too hard all the time.
00:35So we're gonna play a little game to help us figure out if we are suffering.
00:40Always suffering. Just kidding.
00:42And while we do it, let's have some plant therapy.
00:45Yes!
00:46We got some shovels down here, we got a little bit of dirt.
00:48Oh snap, we've got the whole shebang.
00:50Do you have any plants?
00:52Um, well, I did have a plant, but uh, it's dead too.
00:56It's dead.
00:57Let's play a game to see if we are experiencing burnout syndrome.
01:01If we answer the majority of these questions with a yes, then chances are we're probably experiencing at least a
01:05little bit.
01:06Yes.
01:07Or a lot of it.
01:08Alright, let's see what level I'm at.
01:11Let's see, let's test our level of sanity.
01:13Ready? Let's go.
01:14Bam!
01:15You have a hard time concentrating.
01:19Hard time concentrating is my middle name.
01:22I mean, sometimes like when I put my mind to it, I am there.
01:26But sometimes I'll be like, squirrel!
01:28No, that's my brain at all times.
01:30Or food!
01:30Like who am I talking to?
01:32Yeah, same.
01:33I'll just be distracted by like the littlest things.
01:35Alright, is it sometimes hard for you to feel excited about your work?
01:39To be honest, honestly, no, right?
01:43Not really.
01:44Okay, good. I was like, oh my gosh, is she going to say yes?
01:46Yeah, I get really excited.
01:48Um, especially this past year has been so transformative for me, being solo and everything.
01:53So each new opportunity that I get is like, it gives me that excitement because it's always literally like a
02:00new thing.
02:01For example, I'm on Dancing with the Stars right now.
02:03That's so dope. That's my dream goal.
02:06It is a lot of work, but it's so much fun because I'm learning and I'm growing and I'm able
02:13to learn fun new dances and be in these incredible, like, dream costumes.
02:18And it's like a family over there.
02:21Do you feel emotionally drained by the end of the workday?
02:25Emotionally?
02:25Mm-mm.
02:26Not emotionally drained, but maybe like, my brain's like, okay, this is as much as I can give for the
02:31day. I've reached my capacity.
02:32So you need a nap.
02:33I need a nap.
02:34That's what I call sleep because it's never longer than a couple hours.
02:37Do you find yourself procrastinating instead of focusing on a big, big task?
02:40I'm a huge procrastinator.
02:42I feel like I'm like, oh, look, I'm done.
02:44Tomorrow.
02:45In an hour.
02:46In a few minutes.
02:47Have you ever had so much to do that you do nothing at all?
02:50Yes.
02:50I'm like, screw it.
02:52I'm just going to lay down right here.
02:54I'm going to join my piece of pizza in peace.
02:56Do you show up late or do you leave early to work?
02:59Oh, no.
03:00I always show up early to work.
03:02That's one thing about me is I'm always punctual and whenever I need to be there, I'll be there for
03:06all that time.
03:07Here's the tea.
03:08I mean, I'm my own boss.
03:10So like, my work is my work, but I mean, I'm not a bit late to do this.
03:14Sorry yesterday.
03:15Just by like 20 minutes or something.
03:17It's all good.
03:18But I came here and make up ready, so.
03:20Exactly.
03:21Exactly.
03:21So do you feel like at this point in your life, in your career, you experience burnout or do you
03:27think you've surpassed it?
03:29I think there are moments definitely when my schedule gets crazy, like especially right now being on the show.
03:34I have to balance being on Dancing with the Stars, you know, committing to that schedule every single day, rehearsing
03:39for at least five hours and then shooting outside of that.
03:42Are you rehearsing today?
03:43Mm-hmm.
03:43Like straight after this, I'm going to rehearsals.
03:45That's crazy.
03:46And you're a mom of two kittens right now, which is like, ugh.
03:48Oh, I'm sorry.
03:49Did you get a close-up of that?
03:51Is any shot on what just happened?
03:54That was the funniest thing I've ever seen in my life.
03:57She literally went like this.
03:59I went like, no!
04:03I couldn't get in the dirt, so I was like, let me just, let me just.
04:06That's why her plants are dead.
04:07Exactly.
04:07She's feeding the mare.
04:08So we're personally blessed enough to love our job.
04:10So we're recovering from our burnout syndrome, but there's a lot of you who are probably still experiencing it.
04:15So if you are experiencing some burnout, here are some tips to help you get through it.
04:19Change your attitude by recognizing negative habits and stopping them in your tracks.
04:24Change your workload if it gets to be too much.
04:27Go for a walk, get your blood moving, get your blood flowing, get a little fresh air, be one with
04:31nature.
04:33Mm.
04:33Okay, so since you're on Dancing with the Stars and you're crushing it, I was thinking maybe since plants love
04:39entertainment, maybe you can teach me some dance rooms.
04:42Oh my gosh, I would love to.
04:43Yes!
04:44Yes, girl!
04:44I knew you'd say that somehow.
04:45So you go around here, around.
04:50Am I doing it?
04:50And then you go right, left, and point the toe, and point a little outward.
04:55Yeah.
04:55My foot's cramping.
04:56I'm not even trying to be funny.
04:57Okay, so yeah, do that.
04:58And then turn around.
05:00Turn around!
05:00Turn around!
05:01Turn around!
05:01Yeah, like that!
05:02And then, yeah, and then put your other leg out.
05:04That one!
05:05Yeah!
05:06Yeah!
05:06That's it!
05:07Okay, now we'll do all three.
05:09So we'll start off with the rumba.
05:12Warming up those figure eights.
05:14Ready?
05:14Okay.
05:15One, two, three, point, and point.
05:19Yeah!
05:20Okay, now we're gonna do the cha-cha.
05:23Are you ready?
05:23Yes.
05:24One, two, three, step.
05:27Boom-ba, boom-ba, boom-ba.
05:29Yes!
05:31Nailed it.
05:32And now, last but not least, you're gonna do the feet and knees waltz.
05:36Are you ready?
05:37I've never been readier for anything in my entire life, and I'm certain of that fact.
05:41Here we go.
05:42One, two, one, spread your wings and fly, and come into me and dip!
05:47Woo!
05:48Where are all my dead plants?
05:49Are they alive yet?
05:50They're alive.
05:50They're coming back to life.
05:51I see it now.
05:52It doesn't matter because we're alive.
05:54Exactly.
05:55See?
05:55This helped us out, right?
05:57This was sick.
05:58Bam!
05:58And we're no longer burned out.
05:59We're no longer burned out.
06:00We're feeling good, guys!
06:01Thank you so much for joining us.
06:03I hope that you liked this episode, and I hope that you are significantly less burned out.
06:07And if not, try dancing with a friend.
06:09Exactly.
06:10See you later, guys.
06:11Thanks, guys!
06:11See you later, guys.
06:13See you later, guys!
