6. What it's Like to Live through Burnout

Welcome to Episode 6 – What it's Like to Live through Burnout

As the COVID-19 pandemic drags on and on, Burnout is a condition that is finding its way into the news on a regular basis.

Put simply, Burnout is the result of long-term stress that doesn't get dealt with.

And it can happen to anyone. Workers, students, parents, carers, athletes, entertainers, business owners, and even podcast and content creators... Burnout doesn't discriminate.

In this episode, I share my story of Burnout. From not knowing what it was, to realising I had been juggling too many things at once (and for a very long time). Working, studying, parenting, a back injury and COVID-19 all contributed to me burning out big time!

I finish this episode by taking you through some of the self-care regime that helped me live through Burnout.
