S2E15: Reframing Burnout

Burnout has traditionally been described as working too much and running out of energy, but there’s so much more to it than that – in fact, it might not be about the quantity of work at all. In this episode, we challenge and reframe the mainstream description of burnout.This podcast is for you if you believe that:● Embracing a growth mindset and being brave enough to suck at something new is a must.● Fear should be acknowledged but shouldn’t stop you from doing epic shit!● It should be a “No” unless it’s a “Hell Yes!”● There’s more than enough for everyone.● Your energy will tell you where to go next. Listen and trust the process.● People are so much more than titles and the boxes others put them in.Follow ⁠⁠⁠Shelley on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠ Follow ⁠⁠⁠Jill on LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on ⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠Follow Glitter, Grit, and Growth on ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠Visit our website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.GlitterGritAndGrowth.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email us at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠[email protected]⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Special thanks to the amazing musician featured on our podcast, Brandi Harvey.
