This story is less about me. It is more about people who look like me and having the same experiences I will share. It is my hope that you find courage to take the necessary actions when you realise your cup is too full and you are burnt out.

I recall telling myself, just 1 more day, just 1 more week. Then it turned into 1 month, then few more months and then 6 months. Then I woke up one day realising I could not maintain the mask…I took time off.

I was burnt & fried out! Burn out? Does that really exist? Surely!

Key take-aways for the audience:
1. Knowing your self
2. Building boundaries
3. Recognising the flags
4. Recovery
5. Bouncing back
6. Managing expectations
