Burnout and self care

After two years of what feels like non-stop sensemaking and campaigning around the issues relating to the response to Covid-19 I finally hit a point of burnout last week and had to take a complete rest.

During this time I've recorded over 500 episodes of the Pandemic Podcast, taken part in a relentless amount of activism and more recently launched the Elevate Network, our private community for activists, change makers and transformational leaders,

More importantly I became a father for the first time with the birth of our son Zachary last September.

In between all the projects, activism and sleepless nights I have not been able to carve out any respite and as a result I finally hit a wall last week and life forced me to take a break due to exhaustion!

In this short broadcast I share the self care lessons from taking time out.
