Burnout Isn't Your Fault with Kelsey Patel
Former U.S. Senate press secretary, Fortune 500 crisis communicator, and founder of the Pure Joy app, Kelsey J. Patel has reinvented herself more than once, and she was one of the early voices to bring burnout into the modern conversation. She joins Almost Forever hosts Renee and Melanie to talk about why there's no one-size-fits-all body, what burnout really looks like, and how to come back to yourself when life knocks you sideways. Along the way: the toxic mold poisoning that left her without a single second of sleep for two nights, the 20-minute "micro breaks" that can change your week, a pair of bent kitchen tongs that became a monument to her rage, and two simple rules for using AI without handing over your autonomy.
