Running on Empty

In today's episode of MaryLayo Talks, I’m with guest, Fola Oyeleye, to talk about his experience of burnout. We discuss what led to the burnout, what's changed to prevent it from happening again, and what helped to build up his spiritual life.

The conversation includes:

• What is burnout?
• What are the signs and symptoms of burnout?
• How many times have you experienced burnout?
• What activities caused your burnout?
• How did you get to a better place and recover from burnout?
• What do you do differently to help you from burning out again?
• What tips and advice would you give to someone who is experiencing burnout now?
• Bible verses for burnout.

Take a moment to delve into what may be 'beyond the smile' - listen in to the conversation.
