Quotes
“I needed to really re-evaluate how much stress I was under and what that stress was doing to me.”
“I might be better off pursuing a career where I’m really happy and really making a contribution where I want to, where It’s not about chasing someone else’s goals but I’m finally chasing the goals I’ve always wanted to.”
“Emotional intelligence (EI) is a resource…..it can help us regulate our nervous system.”
“Burnout is caused by our response to stress at work.”
“Women in general carry a higher mental load, even if they're not doing more physical family activities; even if they have support and help with family and non-work activities.”
