Business Burnout: How to spot it survive it & prevent it

December 23, 2024 • Lauren Leopold • Episode 42

This week I have to talk to you about burnout.

It is something I have experienced first-hand over the last few weeks, and I want to be totally open with you about it.

First of all, burnout is not a sign of weakness. It is something that shows how resilient, resourceful and amazing you are.

So, I want to take you through why I have been struggling with it, how you can recognise the signs of burnout and how to overcome it.

Talking about this is so important. And I want to empower you to prioritize your mental health and resilience in the face of challenges that you will face as a business owner.
