The things that have brought us success can become our biggest source of burnout, and it often happens so quietly that we don’t even notice until our bodies, our partners, or our coworkers say it out loud.

Leslie brings in an article

by Dr. Ben Reinking, and we unpack it in plain language with our own sobering stories.
