Burnout survivor, Emily Ballesteros shares her insight and tools for burnout recovery and stress management, from boundaries to reparenting. You are not alone, and there are ways to live life fully without losing yourself.

Burnout management coach, Emily Ballesteros devotes her work to helping busy professionals create work-life balance and reclaim time and energy to enjoy their lives. Her future book, "The Cure for Burnout" is a deep dive into burnout, how we suffer from it in our personal and professional lives, and what we can do to defeat it for good. Since starting her business, she has been featured in The Wall Street Journal, CNBC, Today, and facilitated Burnout Trainings for organizations like Pepsi, Nickelodeon, PayPal, and Macy's.
