And She Spoke Barracudas, Airstreams, and Burnout
It’s been a hot minute, hasn’t it?
We know we’ve been gone for a while. But, it’s for a good reason!
Last August, Jeni realized that she was burnt out.
And by burnt out, we don’t mean slightly warm — we mean full-on, Sahara Desert- level fried.
Her basement office was suffocating, she was working 18 hours a day, and to top it all off, had COVID for months.
So, she decided she needed a change.
Change which came in the form of a 25ft Airstream that allowed her to travel the length and breadth of the United States.
And that’s exactly what she did.
But, bouncing from one cellphone tower to another just didn’t guarantee good wifi, making it impossible to film weekly podcast episodes.
So, while our break might’ve been forced, we’re glad we took it. Not only did Jeni get to live out a dream she’s had for years, we also got the chance to take a step back and take life at a slower pace.
In this comeback episode, we’re sitting down for a little coffee-break chat and talking about all the exciting things we’ve been up to.
More importantly, we break down burnout, the side-effects of sprinting 24/7 and how you can cope with it (you don’t have to travel across the country in a van, promise) so you come back even stronger.
On that note, we hope you’re prepared for everything we have in store for And She Spoke! This break has given us some incredible ideas that we’re dying to implement.
Now that we’re back and better than ever, keep an eye out for everything that’s coming your way.
This is what we’re jumping into for this one:
- Why Jeni has had a tough time recording the last few And She Spoke episodes
- How business owners can set boundaries
- The things Sandy and Jeni did to get over their burnout
- Why your business should help you build your life instead of becoming your life
- Our plans for 2022
And more!
