From the news team at LinkedIn, this is Hello Monday.

It's our show about the changing nature of work and how that work is changing us.

Natalie Cogan is today's guest. About a decade ago, Natalie had a crisis

She was in her mid-30s. She'd had a spectacularly successful career.

She was a consultant and then a venture capitalist and then a tech founder.

Natalie was married. She had a daughter, she lived outside Boston, and she was working so hard.

So hard that she finally hit a wall.

So it wasn't just a lot of work. It was not having any boundary between me and my work.

I started to block out. I remember I'm a talker. I can never shut up, right? I speak for a living.

I remember in team meetings, like somebody from the team would like sort of shake my elbow and be like,

do you have anything to say? And it was absurd because I had too much to say, but I would just

black out. Natalie was burnt out. She was the founder of a startup called Happier.

The startup that was all about gratitude, and yet she was so unhappy.

This wasn't a take-a-vacation for a week kind of burnout. Things were bad.

Natalie couldn't figure out how to make herself better on her own.

And as we all grapple with the lingering effects of the pandemic, I think a lot of you are

going to get that. I know our team does. In today's episode, Natalie takes us along on her journey

to break free from that burnout. Today, she's thriving, and she thinks that you should be too.
