I am taking tomorrow (Sunday) off from producing anything. Why? Because I can, because I need to, because I refuse to be the poster child for burnout anymore..
Announcing my departure from my full-time job brought relief in the moment, but has been overwhelming in some ways and heart-breaking in others. I have had so many fantastic conversations with co-workers who have been sharing their own stories, hopes, and fears. I have had many requests for coaching, virtual incubator partnerships, and consulting opportunities. I even got a few more speaking engagements!
And, as expected, there are many requests for transition plans and meetings as it relates to my current job. I literally worked 12-14 hour days all week and have been driven by timelines/deadlines (self-induced and just the ‘cost’ of leaving a job). Tomorrow, I breathe, I play, and take a break from anything that adds pressure to do, and not just be.
In the meantime, here is a resource I wanted to share with you all.
I found this while working on a presentation related to burnout and self-care. I will be putting many of these into play for myself tomorrow. Let me know which of these (or other) ideas work for you as you practice self-care.
Peace, love, and hope y’all!
Struggling with life, with work, with being? 
Trying to do some of these things. Like you, moving mom to AL brought some relief but than another whole set of stressors.
