Episode Show Notes
A Journey from Chaos to Calm
Dawn shares her personal story and tools she's found to help her find more calm in her busy creative life. "After healing from the effects of Burnout, I knew I would have to create a different kind of work-life balance that didn't leave me depleted, but one that fed my soul, fuelled my energy and uplifted my spirit.
I've learned I need to make sure I have balance in my work and personal life. I no longer feel the need to keep up with the fast-paced, hustle culture. I don't want to be constantly chasing and pushing myself to work harder."
