Sacred Stories With Annie

Burn out is such a common experience but everyones experience is different. Here is my story of burn out and how I recovered from it. I also discuss how motherhood has sent me close to burn out and how I've managed to catch it. Would love to know your thoughts on burn out. Drop me a note in the comments!

PS- my computer had a blip so there is a small moment where I stop talking and come back. I'll be honest, I don'...

Recently someone said to me that I have adulthood sorted. But seriously, does anyone? To the outside world it can appear that I keep my plates spinning but what's the reality?
