"The first time I recognized I was experiencing burnout, my husband and I left our advertising jobs and traveled without any set plans. This trip got me out of the nonstop grind mindset I'd functioned in for too long. I came back to corporate work refreshed and inspired in October 2016. Our company, Bala, was supposed to be a side hustle, creating cute wrist and ankle weights inspired by our travels."
"After building the business for five years, we had to lay off our entire team due to the post-COVID-19 fitness industry downturn. I felt immediate burnout knowing the work that was ahead of me, but this time, I couldn't take a year off to recover. Having experienced burnout in multiple stages of my career, I now understand what it looks like, and I can navigate it effectively with the right tools and tactics."
Natalie Holloway left advertising jobs and traveled without plans, which ended a nonstop-grind mindset. She returned to corporate work refreshed in October 2016 and grew a side project, Bala, into a full-time business by 2019 with her husband joining in 2020. After five years of building the company, a post-COVID-19 fitness industry downturn forced layoffs of the entire team. She experienced immediate burnout facing the rebuilding work but could not take extended time off. Having gone through burnout at different career stages, she learned to recognize its signs and to manage it with lifestyle changes, coaching, and practical strategies.
