There's a way back from burnout. Sharon Aneja is living proof of that.

Sharon went through a deeply traumatic experience. She suffered a complete breakdown and experienced PTSD. But came out the other side, and started looking at her life and work through different eyes.

Since then, she's been leveraging her experiences to help others take better care of themselves, and to show managers and leaders how to support all their people to thrive. She uses positive psychology, plus practical management strategies, to create more "human" workplaces, where mutual support and resilience are baked in, and where everything goes better as a result.

In this episode of our podcast, hear Sharon's powerful story, discover what we can all do to stay in good shape, and learn strategies for coping with any cracks that appear.
