A close-up, outdoor portrait of a fluffy, tan and grey dog with perky ears and a happy expression. The dog is wearing a blue collar and is looking directly at the camera.

For the first time in my career I’ve been signed off due to burnout 🫠 My default personality’s friendly golden retriever but damn the past few months have been back to back pressure and I buckled. I need to do a lot of soul searching about what to fix and what career switch is right for me. Unhelpfully, burnout causes brain fog so 🫠 step one is just piecing my brain back together. I’ve no idea what I’m doing but Louie’s gentle friendship has been healing. He doesn’t demand anything from me, he’s just happy to pad alongside me in the woods and keep me company while I figure this out.

I’m sorry Lee x take the time you need, burnout sucks. when you’re feeling a bit better, if you feel up for some low stakes pool games or a coffee hmu!
