and it wasn't just for the last two years i did a deep dive and i went back as far back as i could remember to say okay why did i make the choices that i made what was my goals what was my motivation for that and i didn't do it in a critical fashion i think a lot of people do that when they're looking within your we're often quite critical of ourselves

But I thankfully had the mindset of saying, no, I'm going to look at this like a curiosity of a four-year-old and just say, what's this? Why this? How does that work? So that's how I did it. I approached it as just an outsider looking and going, why was that important to me to do it that way? Why did I do that? What was I trying to accomplish?

Was there something else that caused me to do that or make that decision? and that took time my only regret not that i have regrets in life but i do have a regret that i didn't work with a therapist before that i have a therapist now and i highly suggest and recommend everyone should have a therapist everyone there's something in your life either now or in the past or potentially in the future

that you're going to need to work through and if you have somebody that is a therapist they can help you through that it's not laying down on the couch and saying what's wrong in your world necessarily but it's really helpful so i wish i would have worked with a therapist back then because it would have sped along some things i still was able to do that so after recovering

And after getting back on my feet and finding a new job, just going about things differently, I started noticing and I realized what was going on and that I was burned out. So I started researching burnout and was alarmed. And this was again in 2014, alarmed on the number of cases that I was seeing in burnout in a variety of different sectors, not just healthcare. That was 10 years ago.

Fast forward to today, burnout is worse than it was 10 years ago. And it's impacting our industry. I thought, you know what, I need to start sharing What I'm discovering about burnouts, I started writing about it on a blog and started talking with people about it, started doing little talks at different conferences and things about it.

And then a colleague of mine said, you know what, you probably have a consulting business here. That's what I did. I said, okay, let's launch this. And then that led to another colleague saying, launch podcasts and share tidbits on how to prevent burnout. And that's how the original format of my show was for the first year or so.

And then I started interviewing guests and meeting great human beings like yourself and a bunch of people across the planet, which has been great. So it spun off into a consulting, content creation, keynote speaking type of entity that I've been working on for

now seven years or actually closer to eight and it's been both very enjoyable but also very sad because nothing would make me happier than for burnout to go away and I don't need to you know talk about it or work with people on it or anything like that I'm thankful that I have the opportunity to but I wish I didn't have to because they wouldn't you know because they're not burned out

Oh, I definitely agree. It doesn't matter what, as you said, what demographic you're from, your gender, where you're from, what type of work you do, the career, anything like that. It doesn't matter. It attacks you. And it's one of those things that time and time again, I see it. And over the last few years on my keynote talks, I've and keep track of where I speak, and I always have the industry.
