Ep 5 - Burn-out and Work-Life Balance

Hi you beautiful potato!

Unclench your jaw, relax your forehead/eyebrows, and take one biggggg deep breath with me. Good job!

In this episode, a lovely listener wrote in to ask about work-life balance and I thought it was a great time to talk about burn-out. I go over the definition of burn-out (according to the World Health Organization), the symptoms, possible causes, and some ways to tackle burn-out when you're feeling it creep in. To be honest, when I first realized I was experiencing burn out, the biggest thought I had was that I had failed in taking care of myself. I have since realized that's not entirely true. These past couple years (and many years prior to that as well) burn-out has been a huge issue within our society. The pandemic put a magnifying glass on everyone's life and more and more of my friends realized what they were experiencing was burn-out.

I hope this episode can help validate how you've been feeling and give you some tools on reflection and empower you to take small but important steps towards your happiness and overall health!
