Hello, my loves.

Welcome back to the podcast.

Today is going to be a solo episode with me all around giving, service, business, and not burning out.

Because a lot of people, when they start their business, they come from either a corporate career or they come from another type of career before they jump into entrepreneurship.

You know, burnout is not just feeling tired.

It can feel like life just doesn't feel anything.

You can be so bonely tired that you lose your life force and spark or that connection to that.

And something that I've journeyed through and something that has been so important in my own relationship to my work, to myself, to life, is seeing that burnout is not the actual act of service or sharing or giving.

It's all the other shit or all the other pressure, all the other worries, all the other expectations, all the other attachments that we put onto it.

So many business owners and business creators, or even just people in life, just in general, it's not the actual service.

It's all the pressure that you put on top of it.

It's all the expectations you put on yourself, all the ego projections, all the attachments to outcome, all the constant self-evaluation of how am I going?
