BURNOUT: Role Playing Your Job

Have you ever struggled doing the smallest tasks? Putting a wash on, making time to see a friend or finding yourself on Slack trying to stay engaged?

Petersen, author of Can't Even: How Millennials Became the Burnout Generation joins Rebecca to explore the markers that lead to burnout and how to listen and let the stress flow out of you instead.
