Hi, my friend Shannon here with a short solo episode for you. My guest earlier this week on the podcast was burnout coach, Ash Burnside. Our conversation in Episode 31 of the podcast was really all about listening to our inner voices on the daily. And it really sunk in for me. I have been reflecting on one moment in my life where I can now see that maybe perhaps, I was burned out. This moment changed my life, as it catapulted me into changing careers and led me to a life I never would have imagined as an entrepreneur. I'm sharing my story for you today. Do you ever feel like you are running through life, trying to check off your to-do list, marking the boxes of things that you're supposed to be doing rather than prioritizing what you want to do each day. I am raising my hand right now because yes, I am the queen of this. Hopefully my experience and my burnout moment will shed some light on your situation.
