Transforming Burnout into Joy: Reclaiming Success with Reena Vokoun

You can leverage the misery of your burnout to pull yourself back into a place of joy and success. Reena Vokoun is the CEO of Passion Fit, where she empowers women to flourish both personally and professionally through wellness. Sometimes it can be hard to admit to yourself when you are not performing at your best, but self-awareness is the first step to tackling burnout. When you get to the point where you can't take the constant stress anymore, leverage that discomfort to make some changes and cut out some time to recover. Take some time to find something in your life you are passionate about and schedule it into your calendar so you can get that grounding and refreshing spark back into your life. When you take time for self-care and schedule that joy back into your life, you can get back to being your best self and continue propelling yourself forward to success.
