Feeling exhausted, unmotivated, or disconnected from the work you once loved? You might be burned out, and you’re not alone. In this episode, I dive into what burnout really is (hint: it’s not just being tired), the most common causes (like perfectionism, overwork, and people-pleasing) and how to recover. Whether you’re a founder, freelancer, or full-time employee, this is an honest look at burnout recovery, setting boundaries, and building a sustainable career.
