What Emma Gannon Wants You To Know About Burnout

Subscribe to Mamamia

Emma Gannon had a successful podcast, had written multiple books and a career as a high profile journalist in the UK. She also had a happy personal life, and on paper everything looked great…but she was unhappy. And burnt out. Which is when she realised that no amount of success is worth your health. 

Her new book, The Success Myth, Letting Go Of Having It All dives in to why all the things we measure as successful - being rich, famous, even having kids - are, in fact, myths.

This conversation between Mia and Emma will make you question everything you think you know about what success actually means…

THE END BITS:
