Are you “mostly handling it”? Looking like you’ve got it together on the outside, but on the inside you’re one unexpected deadline from not handling it? Wow, have I been there!

In today’s episode, I share my own story of barely keeping it together on the inside. Once I started paying closer attention to what I was doing in my free time, I realized that work wasn’t my only problem.

You’ll learn three steps that will save you from burnout and might even help you make time to check something off your bucket list like me.
