Coach Confessional: Burnout & Boundaries—How to Bounce Back the FASTer Way

Even the most motivated go-getters hit a wall sometimes. And when your hustle catches up with your health, it’s not just about pushing through—it’s about learning when to pause, reset, and come back stronger.

In this raw and real episode of the FASTer Way Podcast, CEO Amanda Tress and Pro Trainer Le Bergin dive into what happens after the momentum. You know… when your body says “nope,” your calendar’s packed, and all you want is a nap and a vacation.

Let’s break down some of the big takeaways—and why every busy woman needs to hear this convo.

Burnout Happens—Even After a Win

Amanda opens up about getting completely wiped out by a mystery virus right after hosting a huge team event. When your body’s done, it’s done. It’s not weakness—it’s biology. And learning to listen to that is part of long-term wellness.

FASTer Way Pro Tip: Your health doesn’t come last. If you’ve been go-go-go, it might be time to rest, recharge, and not feel guilty about it.

Hustle Isn’t a Badge of Honor—Boundaries Are

Burnout doesn’t just come from over-scheduling. Amanda and Le talk about how trolls, toxic energy, and “crab-in-the-bucket” vibes (you’ll want to hear this analogy 😬) can drain your mental energy. Their advice? Block, bless, and release. 

FASTer Way Pro tip: If it’s not lifting you up, it doesn’t get to come with you into summer. That includes doomscrolling and draining relationships.

Rest vs. Recovery—Know the Difference

Just because you’re not crushing leg day doesn’t mean you’re not making progress. Amanda shares how she eased back into movement post-sickness, why she’s rethinking her vacation strategy, and why sometimes strength looks like not working out. 

Peptides, Supplements, and the Truth About "Quick Fixes"

Amanda keeps it honest about a buzzy new peptide she tried. Even with the right routines, recovery tools, and access to top-notch supplements, not everything delivers magical results. The real magic? A healthy metabolism and great habits like the ones we practice in the FASTer Way to Fat Loss program. 😉
