In, episode 004 - REAL TALK: Emotional Exhaustion - I have a real and raw conversation with my friend Sam where we discuss how emotional exhaustion is taking a toll on us as we navigate months of furlough during the Covid-19 pandemic:
• We talk about the emotional symptoms and physical symptoms, how we're experiencing those systems, how we're coping with those symptoms and more.
• We discuss the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic on the entertainment industry and how that’s impacting all aspects of our lives.
• We wrap up with a discussion on what you can do to prepare to pivot or what you should be prepared to share in your next interview for new positions during this challenging time.
