Pep-Talk: Why I love burnout


Listen Later

I ❤️ BURNOUT.

Yes I do. And in this week’s Pep-Talk I’m going to tell you why. And spoiler: it’s not because I think it’s a fun thing to go through - because it’s definitely not. But because I think we are supposed to go through these big breakdowns, at least once in our lives, in order to grow and transform. Burnout is a powerful ring of fire and it often redirects people onto a different path in life. One where they end up feeling far happier, far more fulfilled and far more connected with themselves and the world around them.

So if you’re feeling burnt out right now or you’ve been through burnout in the past - this one’s for you.

Because while burnout is awful to go through when you’re going through it, afterwards most people look back and realise it was the best thing that ever happened to them…

Let’s dive in and explore why!
