This Thanksgiving week, I’m practicing what I preach — rest, play, and doing things that make me feel alive. In this mini episode of Burnout-Free Me, I share why I’m taking the week off to go explore Death Valley… and why rest doesn’t always mean slowing down. Sometimes rest is joy. Sometimes it’s adventure. Sometimes it’s simply doing something because you love it. You’ll get a quick reminder that: Play is medicine for burnout Rest can look like movement, creativity, or fun Guilt-free downtime is essential, not optional This is your permission slip to pause and reconnect with yourself! Whether you spend the week relaxing, catching up on episodes, or doing something that lights you up — I’m cheering you on. Happy Thanksgiving, my friend. 💜     Work With Amy: ✨ Ready to break free from exhaustion and stop running on empty, so you can create real balance, reclaim your energy, and finally feel like yourself again?
