Safeguarding Your Energy: Strategies to Avoid Entrepreneurial Burnout

Today I am joined by Cait Donovan,  who is a burnout expert, something that many female entrepreneurs are at risk of, especially the gifted, creative, sensitive ones.  Cait is not only a burnout coach, but she is also a licensed acupuncturist, speaker, author, course creator and fellow podcaster.  Like many driven women, Cait learned about burnout the hard way, by going through it. She figured out how she ended up there, how to bounce back and now she is on a mission to end burnout culture. If we want to stay in the entrepreneurial game long enough to have a business that it both profitable and sustainable, staying alert to where we feel resentment and setting healthier boundaries is a must.
