Burn out and slowing down

Burn out and slowing down

Slowing down isn’t celebrated in our capitalist culture. It has real costs.

know the impact of slowing down first hand. I’ve taken two breaks from my podcast in the past two years. Each time I’ve taken a break, my listenership drops and takes months to regain. And I took a massive income hit after suffering a miscarriage this March. Needing time away from clients and teaching to heal.

We can’t hide from the fact that our capitalist system devalues slowing down or taking a break.

But not slowing down has even greater costs to our wellbeing. And choosing to slow down...greater rewards.
