Then, I was able to make some significant changes that reduced many of my day-to-day challenges, and stayed burnout-free for a number of years. But around last summer, I almost hit hit full burnout again. In this episode, I'm explaining what happened, what I learned from it, and how I got out of burnout in record time.
