Burnout is at an all-time high, especially among high-achievers who push themselves to the limit. But how do you know if you’re just stressed or if you’re truly burnt out? In this special Q&A episode, I break down everything you need to know about burnout—how to recognize it, recover from it, and prevent it before it’s too late.
As a former Big Law litigator turned professional burnout advisor, I’ve worked with thousands of professionals to help them sustain peak performance without sacrificing their health and happiness.
