Today we’re talking about burnout. It’s a topic so many of us can relate to and have already dealt with in our lives and probably will have to deal with again. Because of the way it can impact our work and our health, it’s important to be aware of it and to know how to manage it. 

In this episode, we’re speaking with Rochelle Currie, founder of Australian organic beauty company Nila Botanics. As a mother, founder and author, Rochelle juggles a lot in her life and like most of us has seen burnout in her life which she recognises is as a result of her not wanting to disappoint people. 

She shares with us her journey as an entrepreneur, her own experience with burnout, how she recognises it in her own life and how she prevents it.
