In the winter of a tough year I ran away to Iceland. I hired a car and spent two weeks driving around the island on its hauntingly lonely ring road. It was summer there of course, and so my driving days often ended late in the evening, in the endless dreamy twilight. It was the ideal location for a factory re-set.

I’m no stranger to burnout. Thirty years later, I’m still prone to pushing myself too hard and for too long. I’m much more aware of burnout now but can be slow to recognise how far down the path towards the cliff I am. Thankfully, my husband, family and some trusted friends help to hold me accountable and I’ve learnt some things to help me navigate back to a healthier space.
