From Burnout to Balance: Lessons from Kishshana Palmer

Is your work running you instead of the other way around? Here's how to break free from the busyness trap...

I’ve certainly been there, and so has Kishshana Palmer, the powerhouse author of Busy is a Four-Letter Word. In our recent conversation on The Intentional Fundraiser podcast, Kishshana shared stories that hit home—like the moment her daughter told her, “You don’t have to monetize everything you’re good at.” 💡 That was her wake-up call to rethink how she approached work and life.

This episode dives deep into overcoming “martyritis” (yes, it’s a thing!), achieving more by doing less, and leading high-performing teams without burnout. Kishshana’s five-step Rethink Method will challenge you to pause, assess, and prioritize wellness—for yourself and your team. 🌟

So, here’s my question to you:

Are you ready to reclaim your time and purpose while still making an impact? If yes, grab a coffee (or tea ☕️), listen to this inspiring episode, and let’s redefine productivity together.
