Burnout is often seen as a dead-end, a barrier to productivity and creativity.

What happens if you transform it into a learning opportunity? What if it could act as a stepping stone towards understanding your energy, pace and potential?

Li Lian Gan gracefully returns for another inspiring conversation, this time placing us in a compelling exchange. She's asking the questions that lead us to reframe burnout, not as a formidable adversary but as a gentle inner whisper, urging us for pause, introspection, and personal growth.

Join me and Li Lian as we explore the transformative potential of burnout, the essence of productivity, and the often-underestimated power of music. We're crafting our unique narrative, in harmony with the rhythm of our authentic selves. You're invited to be part of this inspiring journey.
