    This post is part of The Second Leap: a series about choosing uncertainty on purpose, twice. In 2015 we quit our jobs in advertising and built a life that didn’t look like many others’. Now, nearly 12 years later, we’re doing it again – bigger leap, more at stake, a 3-year-old in tow. You can start from the beginning here or keep reading below. Nobody really warned us about this one. We'd thought about the money, we'd thought about the logistics, and we'd thought (in a vague and optimistic way) about the adventure.

Today, burnout often hides behind a smile. It looks like high performance, polite replies and “just a busy season.” It sounds like “I’m fine,” and it feels like…nothing. For creative and marketing teams, this modern version of burnout is harder to spot, but just as dangerous. Because when your job relies on original thinking, emotional connection, and brand energy, burnout doesn’t just affect morale. It affects the work.
