How to Overcome Burnout with Female Founder Melinda Jackson

from Female Founder Unplugged · host Lindsay White

Inspired by MTV’s 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑯𝒊𝒍𝒍𝒔 during college, Melinda jetted off to LA with the hopes of landing a position in PR. After hustling for years (working three internships and multiple jobs) she eventually landed her dream gig at one of LA’s top PR firms. But at what she imagined would be the peak of her career, she realized she was caught in a cycle of burnout and choosing her company over herself. Flash forward ten years later - Melinda now owns her own PR firm, reaching a new pinnacle of happiness and success she never thought possible.Join me this week on the Female Founder Friday podcast as Melinda and I discuss the complexities of company loyalty and why even after landing your dream job you can still experience burnout. If you are considering a change in your career, you will not want to miss Melinda’s incredible insight on why it’s time to prioritize yourself and consider branching out on your own.𝐈𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐩𝐢𝐬𝐨𝐝𝐞I always said I wanted to own my own company (3:15)One of the biggest mistakes I made was staying complacent (9:47)Let me be a light to other people (18:48)𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐚 𝐉𝐚𝐜𝐤𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐦: @melindajacksonpr𝐔𝐩𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐃𝐈𝐘 𝐏𝐑 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐞: https://forms.gle/dC9xm3nhf2i2bksaA𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐚 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐂𝐚𝐥𝐥: calendly.com/melindajacksonpr𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐊𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭: https://thekindnesscorporation.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/SOKB2021.pdf𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐧𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐬𝐚𝐲Start your journey of becoming a better leader today!
