If I were, to sum up, the last year, it would be “the year of burnout.” During that time, I’ve come to surmise that burnout is simply the misappropriation of energy and time.

In this episode, I take you behind the scenes and share with you what burnout looked like for me - the bad and ugly parts of it (hint: it’s probably not much different what it looks like for you),  what steps I took to bring myself out of it and what lessons I took away from the experience.
