“If I’m not tired and busy, I’m probably not doing enough.”

No friends. That’s not right. Burnout is NOT a normal state of being. 

And in this episode, I’m explaining why. I’m also sharing some of the sneaky ways that burnout can show, how we can come back from burnout, and what burnout actually says about us as photographers.

Let’s dig in!
