Today’s episode Remi interviews Alisha about her youtube burnout and what lead her to take a 2 month hiatus from posting youtube videos. Alisha opens up in a way she never has about her burnout before and gives us insight to her life during that time. This isn’t the first time a creator has felt burnout from what can be a very toxic career. It’s a great reminder that what you see online isn’t always the full story.

On this episode, we chat about the impacting opinions of others, negative self-talk, the many phases and fluctuations our bodies go through, and we unlock a NEW FEAR, the fear of turning 30. But I’ll let you in on a little secret, entering your 30s is quite amazing!
