The drama of burnout and overwhelm is exhausting. It seems for so many of us, there is a vicious cycle of doing way too much followed by a period where we can hardly find the motivation to do the basics. In this episode, Morgan and Jess talk about their own experience with burnout, what they have learned and how they are changing the narrative around work, what it "should" look like and how to find more joy in your life.
Milestones are great, but if you aren't taking time to enjoy the journey - the milestone itself with be a disappointment. In the first half of the content, Morgan talks about the societal concept of what work is and how much of it is expected from us. At minute 38, Jess talks about her mentorship and what she has learned not only from personal experience, but from mentoring others on how to prevent burnout. Beyond the cultural norm of a 40 hour work week (which, by the way, is completely arbitrary and made up!) they dive into the additional "shoulds" of social media, vanity numbers and how new age technology contributes to our sense of overwhelm and burnout as well
What it boils down to is this - find joy in what you do, life is too short to do anything less.
