Burnout at work can be like a fire that flames intensely until it eventually devours all its fuel and extinguishes in exhaustion. Conversely, boredom at work can be more of a fading ember, gradually fizzling out into oblivion.
What they have in common, however, is their potential to lead to a similar work-life balance tipping point, where a person is prompted to make drastic choices in pursuit of regaining their balance.
Whilst many guests on this podcast have described experiences of burnout, this episode features one of only a few that have described the experience of being so bored and unfulfilled at work that they needed to break out of their situation and start afresh.
If you find yourself feeling uninspired and in need of some motivation, this episode – featuring founder and CEO of a virtual assistant agency called WOW MOM, Rachel Green – is for you.
Besides sharing the story of quitting her 9-5 corporate job and setting up her own business, Rachel shares her top diary management tips, and also talks about how her reaction to other people’s judgements of her has shaped her work-life balance choices.
