In this episode, Angela and Rachel Sheerin discuss:

• The alarming rate we’re losing great hospitality and wedding professionals and what’s causing people to quit
• What causes burnout in loving professionals and how to spot the signs of burnout in yourself and others
• How to heal yourself when the joy is gone from your work and get back to loving your work, life and self!
• The power of supporting each other, being authentic and living a life aligned with our values

Key Takeaways:

• Burnout is a common occurrence in high-performing professionals who achieve rapid success, constantly exceed goals and find immense self-worth in their work - average people do not get burned out, so if you’re burned out you’re probably a badass!
• When you’re being a person you’re not proud of, thinking thoughts that the “real you” never would entertain and feel nothing and everything all at once, you’re probably burned out - but you’re not alone.
• Having awareness in our industry of burnout, as an indication of change within ourself and not a stamp of failure and hopelessness can help save yourself, your career, your relationships and, possibly, your life.
• We work in the best industry in the entire world - if you don’t believe that, ask yourself “Why not?” and navigate your way back to joy, this time on your own terms. I’m cheering you on.
