#282 How to avoid burnout, learning to say no, and strategic self care, with Lisa Towles.

Lisa Towles is an award-winning, Amazon bestselling crime novelist and a strategic self care consultant. She has nine crime thrillers in print with a new title, Salt Island, forthcoming in June of 2023. This is the second time I speak with Lisa on the podcast. The previous time was in episode #204, which was about storytelling techniques and strategic self care. That episode was published in February 2022 and it has been since in the top 10 most popular episodes. So I brought Lisa back on the podcast to have a further conversation and expand on the topic of strategic self care.  ⠀ 𝗞𝗲𝘆 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀:⁣ * Make your message memorable and draw people in with business storytelling * Plan your self care before you need it desperately because of a burnout * Asking for help as a pillar of strategic self care * Self care and the power of saying no * What stops most people from taking care of themselves ⠀ 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗾𝘂𝗼𝘁𝗲: “By saying no, you're, you're letting people know that you're self-aware, that you are strategic about how you spend your energy.” -Lisa Towles ⠀ 𝗩𝗮𝗹𝘂𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲:⁣ https://strategicselfcare.blog/ https://lisatowles.com/ ⠀ 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝘀𝘁:⁣ I am Agi Keramidas, a podcaster, mentor, and knowledge broker.
