*There's a mild swear or two, as per* How often do you berate yourself for failing to tick-off your to-do list?

This week on the show, tech high-flyer turned burnout specialist Anish Hallan shares how to recognise and avoid burnout. Burnout's often associated with office workers and CEO's - but pursuing a passion project can leave us just as vulnerable to damaging our health through over work. Because getting to do what you've always wanted and are most interested in - and not having to answer to a boss, feels like a dream. But can turn into a nightmare of never-ending tasks and self-imposed pressure if we're not mindful of our own work-life balance. Anish and I chat about his experiences of burnout and, creating healthy boundaries (that actually create longevity) making the connection between healthy work-life and a healthy mind and body how we define success in our work I mention Josephine Brook's episode of #JustBloodyPostIt for anyone who's particularly interested in burnout, click here to catch up.

Welcome welcome, if you're new - this show's for heroic creatives who are marketing their work online. You rock! This week, we're chatting to author and writing coach Penny Wincer. Penny's life changed 3 years ago when she wrote and published her first book Tender, a compassionate and important book about the job of unpaid caring. It was informed by her experiences caring for first her mum, then her son. It made her a go-to expert on the subject of caring and she's been featured in Red magazine, national newspapers and on BBC radio. She also discovered a super power. That she's amazing at pitches. Or book proposals - the piece of writing you share with a potential publisher that argues the case for your book. Why it's marketable and saleable and why they should take a chance on it.  So now she helps other authors to pitch their big ideas.  We discuss,  how to get to the point and win a pitch why writing a book is a great idea (and when it might not be) how to be most productive by doing exactly what you want Connect Here's Penny's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pennywincer/.
