EP48 – Burnout: Recognizing, Coping, and Overcoming

Something that isn't discussed much in our industry (but probably should be) is feeling "burnt out". No matter what type of work we do it's very easy to forget to take care of ourselves and our mental health. It's important to recognize when we need to take a step back, assess, and take action when it comes to dealing with burnout. What does it mean to feel "burnt out"? How do you know the symptoms and what can you do about it? This week we discuss some symptoms we noticed in ourselves and how each of us dealt with it, and things we do now to keep burnout at bay.
