May often gets treated like a holding pattern in the year. It sits between the momentum of Q1 goal-setting and the slower rhythm of summer, which makes it easy to overlook. But for many professional women, this is exactly why May becomes one of the most important months to focus on burnout prevention. It is the point in the year where energy is still being spent at a high level, but the excitement of new-year motivation has faded. Without intentional reset habits, exhaustion quietly builds before summer even begins.
