The paradox of burnout is that we try to combat the stress of overwork by working harder to get ahead! Unfortunately, this does not address the root cause of burnout, and at best creates temporary relief. More often, we fail and sink deeper into exhaustion and despair.

What can you do when you ARE ready to recover? It's easier than you think!
