So welcome Jennifer to weirdos in the workplace. Thank you. And thanks for having me. Yeah. My pleasure. Um, so let's share a little bit about yourself, please, so that everyone here can get to know you, get to know your background a little bit, and, you know, especially regarding this burnout, just if you can, if you can kind of lead us, um, on the journey a little bit. Mm hmm. So, I am a CPA. Um, I also have a I studied and worked abroad in different capacities. I'm also a mom of two, which is important, because, you know, everyone has a life outside of work. Everyone is a full and complete human being. And sometimes a lot of these worlds collide, uh, for better or worse. And I went through this period of, um, intense work where I was very capable of doing the work and unfortunately the work just get kept getting piled on. So through COVID there were some, you know, everyone had challenges, right? People were leaving the workplace. They were quitting through vaccine mandates. There were so many changes that were going on and that led, um, me to a position of covering a number of jobs. And it went on for such an extended period of time. It was really hard for me to let go because I loved what I was doing. And I love doing things like innovating and process improvements and making things better. And I didn't see it coming. I just eventually got to this place where I was so burnt out and I was frustrated and cynical and I just didn't realize where I had backed myself into a corner. And I really needed to make some personal changes, to take a break, to let myself heal. When you are clinically diagnosed with burnout, which I was, it's, it's a tough situation. You know, we, we overuse burnout. Um, you know, we say at the end of the week, oh, it's Friday, I'm burnt out. But when you are clinically burnt out, that that's just a different level of burnout. It's one where you need, um, like psychological support and it's one where you need even, um, Rest and recovery, not just physically, but for your brain. And that's really different place to be in.

I think people are tired. And they use the words burnout, you know, and I try to, I try to hold a strong line there myself. A lot of people are constantly concerned that I'm going to burn out because of the number of things, number of hats that I wear. Um, and I, what I always say is I might be tired sometimes, but I'm really good at managing my energy. I'm really good at making sure that I'm eating well. I'm exercising, I'm drinking water, I'm sleeping, you know, I'm seeing, I'm seeing my friends and, and I have support, like I'm okay, you know, um, and yeah, I might be tired sometimes and I'll let you know if I'm tired, but I'm not burnt out. Um, but I do think I, and I have, I have also experienced burnout in my twenties and it is very different. It's debilitating. Um, and so I, I, I do know the difference personally, but I don't think a lot of people do. How did you experience burnout? What was the experience for you? So unfortunately it was, it was quite sad because I'm a very goal oriented person and I have a lot of grit, which is great.
