When Passion Becomes Pressure: Finding Balance Before Burnout

In the episode "When Passion Becomes Pressure: Finding Balance Before Burnout", we explore the common challenge of juggling passion projects while avoiding burnout. I share my personal experience of how the things that once brought joy—like running her podcast and managing side projects—began to feel overwhelming. As a community, we are reminded of the pressure to always stay productive and how it can negatively impact both our mental and physical health. I encourage us to step back, reassess our priorities, and practice self-compassion. The key takeaway is that slowing down and prioritizing balance allows us to protect our well-being while still pursuing our passions, ensuring we avoid burnout and stay grounded.
