Pokimane extends her break from Twitch streaming, reveals she needs a bit more time to get over her burnout

Pokimane is the biggest female streamer on Twitch. Naturally, she has a lot of things on her plate, such as streaming, signings and other deals, apart from her Offline TV work. Therefore, it was no surprise when the 25-year-old Moroccan streamer confessed in one of her streams that she was feeling burned out.

On her last stream, which took place on August 22, Pokimane revealed that she was going to take a break from Twitch streaming and spend some time offline with her family and loved ones.

Pokimane truly does look a lot more refreshed in her recent pictures, so maybe this break from streaming is working well for her.

So far, her fans and fellow streamers have been really supportive of Pokimane's Twitch break. In fact, it is commendable that Pokimane was so open about the fact that she was taking a break for her mental health.

In a work culture that promotes "hustle," it is good to see popular streamers like Pokimane addressing issues such as burnout and mental health. Her active efforts to combat burnout might inspire others to put their mental health before anything else as well.
