Today on the show, Angie and Elizabeth discuss burnout–what it feels like, where it comes from, whether it matters where it comes from, what to do about it, if there is anything to do about it, and more. What is productivity and how are we managing it? Are the things we are checking off our to do lists the things we want to check off our bucket lists? Included in this episode: permission to set boundaries, take time off, say no, go outside, work with your hands, read and rest. The curative properties of the real, sensual world. Being unapologetically emotional.
