Quote to Reflect On
One of the key points I made during the podcast was:
“Burnout is a signal to pause and reset, not a permanent state. With the right strategies, you can turn it into an opportunity for growth and change.”
This quote captures the essence of how I view burnout—not as an endpoint but as a chance to make meaningful changes in your life and career.
