This episode is a recording of a virtual fireside chat from our first LATAM Summit in Bogota, Colombia in November.

Ever felt like you're burning the candle at both ends as an entrepreneur or leader?

Well, you're not alone.  Join us as we sit down with Lauri-Ann Ainsworth, CEO of the Branson Centre of Entrepreneurship, who's no stranger to the gnawing grind of burnout.

Drawing from her personal experience, Lauri-Ann decodes the often overlooked issue of chronic stress and burnout. She underscores the importance of prioritizing our mental, emotional, and physical wellbeing to sustain success - in a world where how you grow as a leader is as important as the performance of the business.

We get into the meat of the matter, discussing the three cardinal pillars of self-care - mind, body, and soul. We dissect how a deep understanding of our strengths can usher us from a state of burnout towards bliss. Lauri-Ann shares insightful thoughts on recognizing burnout signs and how to navigate life while juggling multiple roles.

As we delve deeper, we unravel the importance of service, self-awareness, and self-love in the context of business. How these elements can foster innovation and help you prioritize wellbeing. It's all about taking ownership of your happiness and remembering that self-love is a critical factor in this process.
