I Burnt Out In an Office. Remote Work Changed Everything.

I love my job and it still exhausted me this week. Back-to-back meetings all day reminded me of the period of my life that led to burnout, and it made me realize something I won't let myself forget. Work-life balance isn't a luxury. It's a necessity. In this video I'm sharing why remote work, the real kind built on autonomy and async communication, has been the biggest game changer for my mental health, my productivity, and my life with chronic illness. I'll also walk you through how I actually structured my days, what I got wrong at first, and where to start looking if you want a remote job. If any of this resonates with you, drop your biggest question about remote work in the comments. I'd love to hear where you're at.
