This episode invites you to do something different in your life, especially if you can sense an imbalance happening that is affecting you.

Event planners have no problem understanding burnout and its implications, however, many times when it comes down to making the decisions that are needed to make necessary changes we doubt ourselves.

Doing something different gives you the permission to make those key changes. And it doesn't have to be big changes in your life. You can make very small changes that make a big impact on you.

Naomi discusses how you can give yourself permission so that you can come to work filled with joy, and passion, and ready to do your best work.
