Jacinda Ardern made headlines when she announced her resignation as the Prime Minister of New Zealand. Her reason: the toll the job had taken on her, citing her humanity...and describing a feeling of being burnt out.
It's one any worker is likely to identify with - that feeling of being overworked, overwhelmed and, possibly under-appreciated.
Ardern's resignation set off a global conversation about burnout. Is it a matter of pushing through, and white-knuckling it to get over those feelings? Or is it better to know when to call it quits, to step away when you know you've reached your limit?
We talk about all of that in this episode of The 5 of Us.
As always, we'd love to hear from you. Have you ever felt burnt out? What did you do about it?
