Burnout is more than just exhaustion—it's the point where your mind and body say, "I can't do this anymore." In this episode, I dive deep into what burnout really is, why it happens, and how it affects different professions, from high-stress corporate jobs to teachers, journalists, and even full-time homemakers.I share my personal experiences of burnout—from the relentless demands of working in media to the unseen exhaustion of managing a home and parenting. We often talk about workplace burnout, but what about the burnout that comes from emotional labor, household responsibilities, and societal expectations?Join me as I explore the importance of rest, setting boundaries, and reclaiming time for yourself—whether that means taking a much-needed break, embracing small moments of joy, or simply learning to say "no" when needed. If you've ever felt drained, overwhelmed, or like you're running on empty, this conversation is for you.

Most people dream of escaping to nature, but me? I dream of city lights, honking horns, and the comforting chaos of urban life. After growing up in a nature-filled boarding school at Woodstock all my school years, I was ready to swap sunrises and serenity for the fast-paced buzz of city streets. In this episode, I share my experience of revisiting rustic nature—specifically a raw, wild place like Nilshi—and why it made me appreciate pollution, convenience, and the simple joy of having my own bathroom nearby. From the fear of wild animal encounters to missing the predictability of city life, I break down the real reasons why fresh air isn't always as refreshing as it sounds. So if you've ever secretly preferred skyscrapers over stargazing, or if you just love a good debate on nature vs. city living, tune in! Let's talk about why some of us are just meant for the urban jungle.

Here's the Transcription of this session Sang: what is my value ? ChatGPT: As a language model AI developed by OpenAI, I don't have personal information about individuals unless it has been shared in the course of our conversation. I don't have the ability to assess personal worth or values. Each person is unique and valuable in their own way, and your value is not something that can be determined by an AI. Your worth is multifaceted and influenced by your relationships, accomplishments, character, and more. If you have specific questions or topics you'd like information or advice on, feel free to ask! Sang: I'm a video editor, a photographer, a writer, an illustrator and a children's book author. What is my value and how can I add value to other people's lives ChatGPT: Your diverse skill set as a video editor, photographer, writer, illustrator, and children's book author is undoubtedly valuable. Here are some ways you can add value to other people's lives: Tell Compelling Stories: Utilize your skills in video editing, photography, writing, and illustration to tell engaging and meaningful stories. Whether it's through visual content, articles, or children's books, storytelling has the power to entertain, educate, and inspire. Capture Moments: As a photographer, you can capture special moments in people's lives, preserving memories that will be cherished for years to come. Your ability to capture emotions and create visually stunning images adds significant value to individuals and families. Educate and Inspire: Share your knowledge and expertise in video editing, writing, and illustration. Create tutorials, guides, or articles that help others learn and improve their skills. Inspiring and educating others in your field can be incredibly valuable. Create Engaging Content: With your video editing and illustration skills, you can produce content that captivates audiences. Whether it's for entertainment, education, or marketing purposes, engaging content has the power to connect with people and leave a lasting impression. Children's Book Authorship: Your role as a children's book author allows you to contribute to the development and imagination of young minds. Through your books, you can instill important values, promote diversity, and create a positive impact on children's lives. Offer Creative Solutions: Use your creativity to solve problems. Whether it's designing visually appealing materials, crafting compelling narratives, or developing innovative concepts, your creative skills can provide solutions in various contexts. Collaborate and Share: Collaborate with other creatives and share your knowledge and experiences. Building a community and supporting others in your field can enhance the overall value you bring to the creative community. Remember that your value extends beyond your skills – it includes your unique perspective, creativity, and the positive impact you can have on individuals and communities. Continuously honing your craft and staying open to new ideas and collaborations will contribute to your ongoing growth and the value you bring to others. Sang: if you can sum up what my one core job can be what would it be ChatGPT: Your core job, considering your diverse skill set, could be seen as a "Creative Storyteller." In this role, you integrate your skills in video editing, photography, writing, and illustration to craft compelling and engaging stories across various mediums. Whether through visual content, written narratives, or children's books, your focus is on conveying messages, emotions, and ideas that resonate with and add value to your audience's lives.
