Digging deep into the root causes of the exhaustion

“With exhaustion or chronic exhaustion, you really need to think about the why’s. Doing this allows us to explore the difference between when you need to do the five why’s and take action or when you just need a couple of days of rest. They also cause you to reevaluate your daily routine so that at 3 o’clock you don’t hit that wall of exhaustion.”

In this episode, female empowerment and mindset coach Tara Lehner joins founder and CEO Kinia Romanowska to talk about experiencing burnout as a working mother navigating the unrelenting rhythms of the corporate world and digging deep into the root causes of the exhaustion experienced by many other women
