After a breakup in 2021, Jessie found herself experiencing burnout and struggling with her mental health which led her to "a year of yes" where she leaned into her intuition and began her healing journey. On this episode, Kristin and Jessie dive into the art of rest and what that may look like when you're experiencing burnout. You should never feel guilty for taking a step back when needed. Jessie describes how rest and different healing practices allowed her to come back as a better photographer and creative person overall.
