125. BURNOUT: Unburdening Ourselves to Cultivate Balance and Alignment with Bookkeeper Misa Bacon and HR Consultant Candice Elliott
Description
Do you ever feel like you're running on empty, burdened with the societal pressure to be ceaselessly productive? We explore the tangled web of burnout, its impact on mental health, and how our attitudes and systems of work lead to this common state of exhaustion. Just because burnout is common does not mean it is normal and I've asked Accountant Misa Bacon and HR Consultant Candice Elliott to bring their invaluable insights and personal experiences to the table.
In this episode, we dive into the intriguing connection between burnout and how this pattern relates to the water element and winter season. We examine the history of work to unpack why we are influenced to be relentlessly productive and highlight how honoring natural cycles, like winter’s call for rest, is the medicine we all need and crave.
