My Year On The Road To Burnout Recovery
Welcome to Season Two of Everyday Burnout Conversations!
What better way to start us off than by sharing what I've learnt from my year on the road to burnout recovery. I'm well aware that there's still more of the road I need to travel, but in the meantime, this past year has taught me to not only identify my values and goals in life but also give them a bloody good shake up before I even think about applying a fresh lick of paint.
What's my biggest lesson from this path towards burnout recovery? You can't just self-care your way out of burnout - it's going to take unpacking and addressing some other factors first.
In this episode I share my thoughts on why our relationship with work could do with a new angle, what Tony Soprano and I share in common, and why you'll always find diamonds amongst the burnout rubble.
There are a few swears in this conversation, so please grab your headphones if little ears are around.
