Last year, I faced something I never expected — severe burnout.
It wasn’t just tiredness. It was complete emotional and physical exhaustion. I felt like I had nothing left to give.
I found a definition that really hit home: “Burnout is a state of emotional, physical, and mental exhaustion caused by prolonged or excessive stress… It shows up as feeling overwhelmed, depleted, and unable to cope.”
That was my reality.
It affected my health. It affected my work. But through it all, my family stood by me, reminding me that my worth isn’t in my output — it’s in who I am.
Six months into recovery, I’ve learned this:
You can be resilient and rest.
You can lead a business without losing yourself in it.
Your wellbeing matters more than any deadline or deliverable.
If you’re walking this path too, know this — you’re not alone, and there’s strength in choosing to pause.
Let’s grow our businesses with purpose, passion, and peace of mind.
