It's so easy to get caught up in whatever everyone else needs from you and never take a moment to think about what you need from yourself.

I know when I'm show running, the last thing I'm thinking about usually is me.

I'm thinking about all the things I need to do and people I need to please.

But when we spend all of our time giving, it can leave us feeling stretched thin and burned out.

And in those times therapy can be so helpful so you get back in touch with yourself and know what you need to do to thrive.

If you're thinking of starting therapy, give Better Help a try.

Often what stops people is the convenience factor and Better Help is entirely online.

It's designed to be convenient, flexible and suited to your schedule.

and it's a relief to think about other things, but we wanted you to have that context.

In the bonus episode, we do talk about COVID-19 and we will talk about it in the future.
