Get ready for a depressing woe-filled dirge as Vicky and Joe discuss the bane of business owners: burnout. Just kidding: it's not a woe-filled dirge – but be warned. There is some self-indulgent, self-deprecating ranting going on. Nobody ever talks about this shit, and silence breeds misery, so this week we're tackling depression, burnout, and anxiety – and how to avoid it. Fun fun fun! There's also a lot of love for Vicky's Superheroes, clients, and friends. And, of course, Joe and The Dingle Menagerie. In all seriousness, if this podcast helps one person, it was worth it. Take care of yourself.
