Burnout

In this episode, I am joined by my sweet, talented, and creative friend Ava Thigpen to have a conversation about burnout. In 2022, burnout seems to be affecting people at a more intense and more frequent rate than ever. Most people I talk to about this subject confirm that they have experienced some level of burnout within the past few years.

SO, In a post-covid world, how do we navigate a new pandemic of widespread exhaustion?

One point of comfort is that we really and truly are in this together. You are not alone in this feeling of complete emotional fatigue bordering on despair.

In our 45 minutes together, Ava and I unpack our personal experiences with varying levels of burnout. We also take some time to reflect on various experts' research on the matter. An incredibly helpful source that informed much of our conversation was Emily and Amelia Nagoski's book, Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle.

I loved having Ava, who is and has been an artist for most of her life, on the podcast to discuss the ways in which we can recognize early signs of burnout and work to prevent them. We also offer advice on how to get out of the kind of burnout that feels so completely suffocating.

I have honestly listened to this episode 3 times since we recorded just to remember all the useful bits of wisdom that were dropped in an attempt to pull myself out of mild bots of burnout. Hope you guys enjoy it just as much.

Let's dive in!
