Between financial stress and the many other ongoing demands on our time and energy in this modern world, the issue of burnout is real. It’s not about being lazy or not being invested, it’s simply about not having anything left to give. With no capacity left to nurture our friendships, burning is affecting our relationships and ironically, it’s community and support that we need to buffer ourselves against the effects of it.    In this episode of the Friend Forward podcast, our resident friendship expert Danielle Bayard Jackson talks to Emily Ballesteros, a burnout management coach, and author of the upcoming book titled The Cure for Burnout: How to Find Balance and Reclaim Your Life, to talk about the relationship between burnout and friendships.    And as always, stay tuned to the end for this week’s homework.    To find out more about Danielle’s Friendship event, happening in March 2024, click here.    To never miss an episode of the Friend Forward Podcast, click the ‘Follow’ button now.
