Are you experiencing symptoms of exhaustion, depression or overwhelm in your business and/or personal life?
In this video interview with Joey Gilkey (from The Best Damn Agency Podcast), I talk about the often brushed-off and neglected ‘feeling’ that entrepreneurs experience: BURNOUT.
As business people who tend to always be on the go, do exciting things and deal with nerve-wracking decisions, it is extremely difficult to take a pause – especially when the exhaustion goes beyond the body and into the brain. When everything feels draining, what must you do? What must you think of? What must you feel? Is there still hope to break free from this?
These are some of the questions we attempt to answer and recount as we also share our fair amount of burnt-out stories.
