Finally, let’s talk about burnout. I thought I knew what it was but then May happened. By the time May rolled around, I had participated in 3 productions and 1 studio concert, filmed 4 videos (only 2 of which made it to air), and continued to teach a full studio of private students and 3 classes at The Homeschool Experience. That was on top of all of my regular duties and responsibilities at home. My husband and children were incredibly understanding, patient, and supportive, but I was exhausted. I was at the point where I didn’t have room in my heart and in my mind to care about my level of production or output. That, my friends, is burnout. I was no longer physically or mentally able to produce my best and I didn’t care. But still I kept pushing on.
