Radical Responsibility: How Shelley Climbed Out of the Burnout Hole
Shelley shares her story of burning out and what she's done with it five years on.
Chad asks questions based on what he's hearing and thinking about from her story.
Shelley discusses how she began to take radical responsibility for herself and her "self" alone and how this led to the tipping point of recovery. We learn about how Social Twos have their own special sauce when it comes to control, and how pride takes hold of the ego.
