**This episode is the 2nd part of an exploration of burnout. So be sure to listen to ep4 before so it makes sense.**

Sharing deeply personal stories, we explore how burnout has shaped our lives and discuss the necessity of playing the 'long game' of life. More than that, we delve into the importance of surrendering to what life wants for us, offering insights on how to cultivate a harmonious relationship between these opposing forces.

What if the pursuit of success leads us away from our true selves? In our conversation, we discuss how burnout can stem from not aligning with one's true self. We also tackle societal perceptions of women, manipulation, and the value of consistency over courage in relationships. 

Drawing parallels from nature, we'll show how the relentless pursuit of productivity can be likened to the degradation of topsoil in agriculture. 

In a significant shift of perspective, we reframe 'sacrifice' as a 'choice.' We underscore the importance of self-care, sharing the coping mechanisms we have adopted during these stressful times. So, come join us on this ride as we traverse the long game of life, uncovering authentic living, relationships, societal expectations, and navigating change along the way.
