Girl. The way this newsletter hit ever fiber of me. Thank you thank you thank you. I (finally!) just finished your book. I listened to the audio while highlighting the physical copy. Your voice is low key still in my brain so I read this post hearing you speak every word. My husband and I launched our non-alcoholic drink the same time I launched my book. Needless to say, the burnout is real. And as you said, "the burnout worked for me," until it didn't. I wrote several newsletters on here about how my book is "successful" but I"m still punching walls. My drink sold out it's first batch but I'm still screaming into pillows. I truly don't know how to get my ambition under wraps but this newsletter helped me feel seen.

P.S. Thanks for the Recovery Resource section. You know I'm a slut for recovery resources. One day at a time applies to recovery burnout, too.
