S3E01. Breakdowns & Burnout to Brillianc...

Cassia Tierney Clarke
About this episode

Hello friends! Welcome back to 9 Lives Podcast. I am so delighted to be back! Thank you for your patience whilst I took some time out.

This week we are discussing mental health breakdowns, burnout, learning to live with big failures, and how to dust yourself off and get back up. Life is messy, and never linear. We must learn to live in the nuance of it all. I hope this episode can serve as some relief in this era of hustle culture.

I'm looking forward to a season of honesty, toolkits, poetry, follow alongs, hopeful ramblings, special guests and so much more.

Thank you for being here!

Always love,

Cass
