Ami shares her expertise in burnout prevention, stress management, and self-care, especially for professionals and organizations. She emphasizes the importance of morning and bedtime self-care practices, such as hydrating, deep breathing, and setting boundaries with technology. Ami highlights the concept of 'pseudo self-care' and the need to differentiate between true self-care and behaviors that manifest from avoidance or perfectionism.
