If I could have told myself a year ago that today I'd be pregnant with 2 biscuits, welcoming an incredible new group of students into TPP, and sitting on my deck outside my cabin in Big Sur on MY BABYMOON, I'd have burst into tears. It's all I wanted, you know? And it is STILL what I want. I'm so grateful, and so thankful, and so looking forward to what life has in store coming up. But, guess what? As it happens, I'm burned out. Fulfilled? 10000% Yesssss. But exhausted and burned out? Yusssss. Which is why Dustin and I are in Big Sur right now for a little babymoon and a little refresher, and I feel lighter already. As you read this, I'm probably eating a donut, sitting on the redwood deck, listening to the birds enjoying a crisp, quiet morning. Or maybe we're having dinner on the cliffs, watching the sunset. Or maybe I'm zoning out listening to the sound of the dirt under our feet on hikes and the birds in the trees… whatever it is I'm taking a breath. I'm letting myself take a break and let nature fill me back up. Because that's what we have to do sometimes. Which is why this week I thought it was the perfect time to dive deep into burnout on this week's episode of the podcast. Because here's the thing: Even though we LOVE the work we do — burnout still exists. And we owe it to ourselves to know how to support ourselves, to connect back to the things we love, and to feel better. So on this episode, you'll hear:

• My own experience(s) — because there are several, trust me — with burnout
• How to zone in on your priorities (and align your life and business with them)
• A reminder that it's okay feel burnout, it doesn't mean photography isn't meant for you

And, more than anything, I hope this episode reminds you that you owe yourself MORE than living a life where your tank is always on empty and your lights are always flickering. Because you do. Please don't sell yourself short of that, okay?
