In the first episode of The Burnout Collective, we share how we met and how we immediately started bonding over corporate BS—emphasizing the need for companies to have a "no asshole" policy. We talk about dealing with mean girls on the daily, the need to form strategic alliances, and why trauma bonding is inevitable. We unpack the experiences with burnout we’ve had throughout our careers, the toll workplace stress can take on our mental health, and the importance of forming supportive friendships to cope. So, join us as we take steps to reclaim our creative spark.
