Let's talk about the big fat elephant in the room - burnout. In today's society we just can't seem to outrun stress, especially in the workplace. With remote work on the rise, it can feel impossible to unplug even when it's time to clock out. It's too easy to respond to work emails after hours when you can do it right from your phone. The truth is, we weren't wired to be constantly tapped into work. That's why it's no surprise that burnout is on the rise, and The World Health Organization has even recognized job burnout as an official health diagnosis. The good news? There is a better way. Even if you can't ditch all of your stressors, you can prevent burnout by learning how to complete the stress cycle. Curious about how you can unlock the stress cycle so you can swear off burnout for good? That's exactly what I'm covering today along with… Why women experience burnout differently than men How hyper-independence sabotages our wellbeing And so much more!
