Here's a phrase I'm sure you've used at least once in the last year.

I'm so burned out.

Burnout is real, and many of us are experiencing exhaustion in both our professional and personal

lives due to the pandemic and several other forces.

But do you really know what burnout means?

If you open up the Merriam Webster Dictionary, the first definition for burnout is the cessation

of operation usually of a jet or rocket engine.

And you know what?

I like that definition because I feel like I walk around like a jet without fuel about

to crash all the time.

But sometimes we can be burnt out and not even realize it.

That's where our talk today from the Nagasaki Sisters comes in.

This is Ted Business, I'm Maduba Akinola.

Now let me introduce you to twins, identical twins to be precise, Dr. Amelia Nagasaki and

Dr. Emily Nagasaki, who together wrote a book called Burnout, The Secret to Unlocking

the Stress Cycle.

We sat down with Ted Curator, Chloe Shasha Brooks, to offer tips on how all of us can get

better at recognizing and addressing burnout in our lives.

And one thing you'll learn, you can't beat burnout alone.

So after the talk, I'll explore that a bit with a very special guest.

But first, a quick break.
