0:06.0	I'm Mary Mechley and welcome to the final episode in our series, Managing Crisis Fatigue.
0:15.0	And it seems these days that there's one crisis after another, politically, economically, socially right in the midst of a pandemic.
0:27.0	You can be feeling burned out, burned out from your work, from relationships, from taking care of yourself.

2:40.0	It's all good.
2:42.0	You can take this in stages.
