Quotes:
'Your career needs you to function at your best, and that means you can't afford to be exhausted, overwhelmed, or burnt out.'
'If we don't take a step back, even if it's a mental health day, we will not perform at an optimal level. We will wear ourselves out, and who is there to pick up the pieces when we fall apart?'
'If you never step away, you'll lose yourself. Successful professionals and business owners don't have to grind 24/7; setting boundaries and recharging to come back stronger is what makes us successful.'
