There is a lot of negativity floating around because of the quarantine and the pandemic which makes sense! There is a lot going on. But what we forget to see is the silver lining, there ARE positives that can come out of our “new normal”, just like there are benefits to burnout.
In this episode, I get real about the four biggest benefits of being burned-out, especially during the quarantine. There are opportunities that you now have that you might not have before. And, whether you’re trying to avoid burnout, are not burned-out, Burned and Bored, Burned and Unbalanced, or Burned and Over-It, I’m going to lay out all of the opportunities that you NOW have to make positive changes in your life.
In this episode you will:
