Kamusta Ka Talaga? Recognizing Burnout as a Remote Worker | Kwentuhan with Coach Gabs

When was the last time you paused at work just to ask yourself, "Okay pa ba ako?" Not "tapos na ba yung task ko." The real one. Kamusta ka? Sometimes we don't notice just how much stress our bodies are carrying until our body gives up. In this Kwentuhan, I sit down with Gabriella Cacciatore, trauma-informed coach and author of Unbroken. She ran check-in calls with our BlueMoso team, and she showed us how much our people were carrying that we didn't see. We talk about what it means to be dysregulated, how to make people feel safe, a one-minute check-in you can do at your desk, and the one boundary every VA needs to learn to say out loud.
