Is burnout a symptom of self-neglect and how do we avoid it? In our quest to live a life that we can say that we have truly lived, to show up each day committed to unleashing the most EPIC version of ourselves, how do we view the boulders that drop into our lives uninvited? How do we know when we should be taking risks or making changes? How do we find the courage to say, “it’s time”? How do we forgive ourselves for the times that we took the leap —and fell flat — and then repeated that “mistake” over and over and over again? How do we insure that this time will be different? Is it really burnout that we’re trying to escape or is it something deeper? In today’s episode of the HOW TO CHOOSE TO LIVE podcast, the phenomenal Cait Donovan and I share insights and strategies of ways to start taming the burnout — and the self-neglect —beginning TODAY. And so much more! If you are serious about creating your own EPIC life, one that’s Empowered, Purpose-driven, Innovative and Collaborative, this is an episode that you won’t want to miss!
