In this episode, I sit down with Madison Utendahl, Founder of Utendahl Creative, to discuss recovering from burnout in an accolades-driven society. Madison shares her history with overachievement and excellence over the years, how her burnout manifested throughout several periods in her life, and the tools and practices she uses now to prioritize her mental health. We discuss learning to love not being “the best,” what Madison’s experience with making 30 Under 30 was actually like, and why “the why” in what you do is everything. Finally, Madison tells us how she structures her mornings to protect her peace, and how she built an anti-burnout culture within Utendahl Creative for herself and her employees.
