Burnout comes and goes depending on one thing and one thing only, which we're going to talk about

inside of today's episode. But honestly, for me, with all the systems in place, I'm still no

stranger to the constant tug to give and give and give and give and to give way more than I receive.

Servant leadership is what I strive for. I genuinely love to serve, to make

But it's you overflowing with everything that you were created to be so that they are so

unbelievably nourished and hydrated and cared for. If you're truly ready, then this is something that
