Ep.7: Avoiding Industry Burnout

Why do we always feel the need to be "on" 24/7? How can we dismantle the idea of burnout and hustle culture and work to center and prioritize rest?
This episode get's INTO it! We're talking about what the perceived food and service industry standard is for success and hard work, how that leads us to being overworked, underpaid, and sets us up to fail, and what we can do to change it. 
NEW SEGMENT ALERT! Stay tuned until the end for Retro Recipe- a new segment where I find silly and heinous vintage recipes and share them for your enjoyment.
