You've Got Burnout

This Is Jennie Alexis

It feels good to be back, and there's a reason why episodes seemed to suddenly halt: In short, I'm experiencing some kind of burnout. In this episode, I share what I’m learning about the why and how of burnout.

To be clear, I am not recording this from a place of overcoming burnout. Instead, I want to show the importance of hearing from someone when they're in the throes of an experience. It's easy to forget how difficult something was once we're on the other side of it, and those of us going through it cannot go through it alone.

In the coming months, I'm going to be sharing a series of episodes that explore burnout and anxiety, particularly as they relate to those of us who have small businesses and are entrepreneurs. I hope to be in conversation with others going through this, as well as connect with practitioners who offer support to their clients and patients.

In this episode, I discuss how I’m experiencing burnout, the three types of burnout I’m learning about, what the contributing factors were for me, and delve into my personal experience.
