What is the hardest burnout conversation you have had! Was it with a boss who didn’t get it, a partner who couldn’t see it, or with yourself when you finally admitted it?
Those talks can feel heavier than the burnout itself. Which one sticks with you the most?

I think having that conversation with my family was difficult. Particularly with my parents who don’t really understand or believe in the concept of burnout. I expected my employer to be unsympathetic, but I would have hoped my family would see I needed support.

It was with myself - I admitted I needed to take FMLA. I did and 3 years later my life is still changed for the better!

Hello! Will be receiving a $400 stipend from my new org for office setup. I currently have a 15” 2015 Pro, my husband has a Lenovo, I’ll be provided with a work laptop, we have a used office desk.

Any recommendations on what I should use the stipend for? Hubby was suggesting a printer because we don’t currently have one, but I feel like I don’t really print that much anymore and I’ll be working remotely.
