This week, we’re tackling a less glamorous, but incredibly important topic - burnout. I’ve experienced extreme burnout twice in my career. A few weeks back, I realized that I was heading in that direction again. I’m grateful for not only noticing, but acting on, the red flags way sooner than I have in the past. Still, it’s never easy! Today, I’m sharing four ways I’m tackling my burnout head-on. 

Spoiler Alert: One of the ways I’m preventing further burnout is making the choice to step away from the podcast for a few months. It was an incredibly hard decision, but one I knew I had to make. I look forward to publishing new episodes again in October, but in the meantime, you can keep up with me via the newsletter. 

In this episode you’ll learn:

• The burnout symptoms I’ve been experiencing that caused me to pause and assess. 
• How I’m learning to say no - or not right now. 
• The reflection question that helped me make hard choices.
