2:52
Hey, mama, my fellow Patrese. Hey, queen, thank you
2:55
so much for having me. Oh, thank you for coming, Patrice.
3:00
I'm gonna be saying Patrise all night, all y'all. I think, out
3:04
of my whole life, I might have met three other patriss at the library.
3:14
Yeah, that's it, So it is so. And none of them
3:16
were white. Me. All of them were white. So you were the
3:21
first African American Patriss I have ever met. Wow. Yes, well,
3:27
here we are, here we are, and we're gonna talk about your book
3:31
Disturbing burnout m But first you gotta tell us a little bit about yourself,
3:42
yes, ma'am. Well, I am doctor Patrice Buckner. Jackson. But
3:46
you all can call me PBJ. That's what everybody calls me. I'm an
3:51
educator. I've been in education for twenty five years, specifically in colleges and
3:57
universities. Patrise. I work my way up to vice president. There's really
4:02
no professional goal that I set that I have not accomplished, and Sister,
4:09
it almost cost me everything. Hold on, now, don't think you could
4:14
stop right there. If you're mind, I don't mind. You got to
4:18
give us some backstory. This is where this book came from. So they
4:26
said get the doctorate. I got it. They said keep working hard and
4:30
get promoted. I did. They said take all the assignments. I did
4:34
all of the things that I've been taught throughout the years that a professional woman
4:39
does, that a successful woman does. I was checking off all the boxes.
4:45
I'll never forget. August twenty nineteen, Patrice, I was driving to
4:48
work. I could barely see for the tears in my eyes. I had
4:53
got my highest promotion ever. I was vice president. Pulled into work fancy
4:59
part and space just as signed to me. Girl, I had to sit
5:02
in that fancy parking space and fix my face and put my makeup back on
5:08
because I didn't know if I could handle it anymore. When I got myself
5:13
together, went into the student center, hugging students, good morning, how
5:17
are you you didn't come see me yesterday? All the things. It was
5:21
all I could do to get behind the door of that beautiful office, and
5:27
I fell apart. I crumbled, PATRICEA. I was holding on to the
5:32
edge of my wooden desk because I didn't even feel like I could hold my
5:35
own weight up anymore. What I really wanted to do was crawl under that
5:41
desk and lay there in the fetal position. But I was so ashamed.
5:46
I thought, what are they gonna think if they find me here? Friend?
5:50
When I got myself together, I picked up the phone and I called
5:55
my husband and I tried to explain to him what was happening. I'm sure
5:59
I wasn't making a lot of sense, but at some point he interrupted me.
6:02
He said, go home. I'll meet you at the house. Just
6:05
go home. Well, since it was August, we had parents moving their
6:12
kids in, I had a lobby full of students with problems. I had
6:16
staff members calling my cell phone. It was all happening, and I remember
6:23
telling him I can't go home. I can't go home. And at some
6:26
point I started saying, I can't stop, I can't stop, I can't
6:30
stop. He interrupted me again, he said, go home. I'll be
6:33
home in ten minutes. Meet me there. Patrese something and May clicked.
6:40
I got off the phone. I typed a letter. I printed that letter.
6:46
I went to where my president was in a meeting. I waited till
6:51
that meeting was award and when that door, I handed in my letter and
6:58
I left that campus. Into this day, I have not been back that
7:03
campus except I'm going back in a couple of weeks on my book tour.
7:12
I'm going back. I'm going back to have a private gathering with some of
7:17
the people that I left, because I need to tell them what I've learned
7:21
since I walked away. Wow, I've heard of that. I've heard of
7:32
that at my job. I've heard of that a lot. There has been
7:44
people who've been retiring and I ain't know going well, these people have more
7:49
years in them, But every time I've talked to them, they're like,
7:54
I have to go yes, and I kind of I've been there. I've
8:03
been there. I've been there to the point where you felt like, Okay,
8:07
I just can't do this, and I just can't. And I've now
8:15
started to pace myself. So first of all, your book is on my
8:20
to read book list. I've said that the point people, Oh your book
8:22
is on my to read list. This book has to be on my to
8:28
read list because with nineteen years in and all the stuff that I've seen coming
8:33
and going and working at libraries and hearing about all the book bannings and all
8:39
this, it gets very like, hey, I got time for this right
8:45
now. So even at work, I'm st up dance. Matter of fact,
8:50
this is crazy. I spoke to my manager and we all were just
8:56
sitting in the back in the office top and we were like, look,
8:58
we just are not motivated today. I said, I can usually read this
9:03
teen book, come up with the questions and have no problem, but I
9:07
am just not motivated, and so I just started doing something else. Okay,
9:13
And I understand that when you said take all the assignments, do this,
9:20
and do that, I was doing that. Yeah, I won this
9:24
award that's considered the employee of the year. I sit back and everybody's like,
9:31
you deserve it. But the only reason why I really was crying because
9:35
it was the anniversary of my mom's death, and the award was named after
9:39
my best friend who was killed in a very tragic way. So when I
9:43
think about what I've done, it's like, Okay, yeah, I do
9:46
it because you know, this is what's required of me. So I totally
9:52
understand. Get where are you coming from? You just said something, You
9:58
just said something. We got to bring some attention to it because when you
10:01
say, you know, we were sitting there and I know how to do
10:03
this task. I could do it with my eyes closed, like it's not
10:07
a hard thing. It's something I've done so many times. But all of
10:11
a sudden, in this moment, I don't feel like I can do it.
10:13
That's what I call a tael te l L. We gotta pay attention
10:18
to our tails, our symptoms, because burnout doesn't just happen. It doesn't
10:24
just show up one day. It's what I call a cycle of burnout,
10:30
right, And I want everybody to hear, whether you have a doctor degree
10:33
or not, you might be in the cycle of burnout. Especially. This
10:37
affects all human beings. But the research shows us that women report a higher
10:43
level of burnout than anybody else. And here's why. Because there's no off
10:50
time, there's no stop. When you get off. You are just going
10:56
to your next responsibility. You leave work and you go to the te ball
11:01
field, or you go to the dance recital, or you go home to
11:03
cook, or even if you're not working full time, you might be a
11:07
caregiver. You might have small babies at the house. The demand doesn't stop.
11:13
Oh my god. So in the cycle of burnout, right in the
11:18
cycle of burnout, the first phase I call surviving. In surviving, you
11:22
know the pressure is a lot, You know the weight it's on you.
11:26
You can physically feel it. And in surviving you wake up and you let
11:30
Lord give me strength to do it one more day. Just give me strength,
11:33
Let me do it one more day. You're not thriving, you're not
11:37
full of joy. You just making it. You're just making it. And
11:39
surviving you feel like you're on the roller coaster and you really with somebody will
11:43
stop to ride just so you can catch your breath. If we don't do
11:48
something different in surviving, then we go to the phase I call overwhelmed.
11:52
And overwhelm it feels like the water level of your life is rising and you
11:58
are to keep your head above water. You are fighting and overwhelmed, your
12:05
tails start to come out. So body aches, my grain headaches, high
12:11
blood pressure, and not just the physical signs. We have anxiety. We
12:16
can't rest because you know, rest and sleep is two different things. But
12:20
just the old days that I just woke up and I was tired, okay,
12:24
okay, sleep, but not the same thing. This morning, friend,
12:30
this morning, like my uncle calls. She's like, oh, you
12:33
know my daughter's name, and I am. I ain't hatch rehearsal. It's
12:37
me. You should see me in the bad contemplate my life. Okay,
12:39
friend, you're gonna go to this rehearsal. She told me. I don't
12:43
want to go out. Well you're going, so I told her. I
12:46
said, look for the rest of the day after my podcast, I am
12:50
literally going to lay back and figure out who gonna die or raising keenan because
12:56
that's my way of rest. Yes, I want to see the end.
13:03
No spoilers, no spoilers. We won't talk about it, so you look
13:07
at it too. I haven't seen it, no, but I'm just telling
13:09
the people. Don't spoil your joy. Don't y'all. Don't do that to
13:13
me. Don't do that. But I totally understand, and I do feel
13:16
as more women because I find myself my first job starts at five o'clock,
13:26
okay, And while we're doing fibbing in prayer, I'm eyeing clothes for my
13:31
daughter and ironing clothes for myself. Sometimes you're sitting up a curl on my
13:35
head. I know there's some burn marks back there because I fell asleep at
13:37
the curl and I my head. Six thirty shift two and getting my daughter
13:43
ready and then off the work, and then after work go pick her up
13:48
from practice, then come home then and do homework. Then I totally understand,
13:54
and it is a lot of women. So what do we do?
13:58
How does your keep us the like you say, the lifeline, yeah,
14:07
of finding that purpose? How does your book steer us there? Yeah?
14:11
Yeah. So we talked about surviving, and we talked about overwhelmed. That
14:15
last phase it is burnout. If you don't do something different then overwhelmed.
14:20
Then burnout is the involuntary shutdown. Something breaks. Right when I left my
14:26
job that day, Patrice, I did not go to work saying I'm gonna
14:30
quit today, like this is it. It wasn't a plan. It was
14:33
a moment like When I heard Edward say go home, something in me said,
14:37
I have had enough, and I truly believed. I believe that if
14:41
I did not leave at that moment, I would not have been able to
14:46
leave under my own power. Somebody would have had to come get me.
14:50
I told my husband, I said, I don't know what it feels like
14:52
to lose your mind, but I feel like it's happening to me. So
14:56
the strategies that I offer, that's why we call it disrupt things burn out,
15:01
because we want to disrupt the cycle. We've got to break that cycle,
15:05
not feel better, and then go back into it again, and then
15:09
get a breath of fresh air, and then go back into it again.
15:11
Because that's what we do. We go through a good period and we're doing
15:16
all right, but before we know it, we back and rock bottom again.
15:18
The strategies in this book will help you break disrupt that cycle so you
15:26
don't continue in the cycle. We call it the heart work strategies because it's
15:33
it's more than a facial it's more than self care, it's more than taking
15:37
a walk. Time management is not enough. I had three calendars when I
15:41
fell apart in twenty nineteen, and none of them prevented me from falling apart.
15:46
And here's another thing I hear often, especially when we're addressing black women,
15:50
we talk about resilience. You need to be more resilient. Let me
15:54
tell you something. The people, and it's not just black women. I'm
15:58
telling you this is a fandmic, but the people that I serve, they
16:03
know how to fall and get back up. They know how to be pushed
16:06
into a corner and find their way out. We know how to be resist
16:10
resilient. The problem is we've had to be resilient too often. Okay,
16:15
see you there, and so we don't need nobody else teaching us how to
16:19
be resilient. Thank you. So these hard work strategies, there's three simple
16:23
strategies that I teach. They're simple, but they're not easy because they are
16:29
a different way of approaching life and work than what we've been taught. We've
16:33
been taught we got to work ten times harder. We've been taught that you're
16:37
not allowed to say no. We've been taught you you shouldn't rest until you're
16:40
absolutely exhausted and can't go anymore. And we've got to address all of those
16:47
ideas that have been passed to us and make a decision that that is not
16:52
sustainable. We can't live that way. We're losing people left and right,
16:57
and we sit around saying, what she was so young, what happened?
17:03
Okay, it's time out. People are literally dying. They are literally,
17:11
like not even exaggerating. Professional women are literally dying in their career fields because
17:18
they don't know how to handle the weight of everything that has been put upon
17:22
them that is so corrected. I think I don't know if she killed herself
17:30
or she walked. No, she killed herself somewhere in a library library,
17:36
sister. She was an African American woman. She turned around, gave her
17:42
letter of resignation, then turned around and killed herself when she got no.
17:48
Man, I read that article maybe two three weeks ago, and I was
17:56
sick. Now my boss tell me go home. Well, you know what,
18:02
people tell you to go home when you're sick. But then you think
18:07
about, I've got this, I got this, I got this, I
18:11
got this. You know what, you guys, We're gonna take a break
18:14
real quick because I'm a kind of I need to talk to her, and
18:18
we're gonna find out these We're gonna give you all the tips, but we're
18:21
gonna give you some of these tips because you still got to get the book,
18:23
you guys. But we're gonna take a break my story. Yeah,
18:30
you sitting right here, So you guys come back when we get finished with
18:33
this break. Okay, we'll be back. The book, A Song for
18:41
Soupora, written by David Harris, is a powerful historical fiction centering around the
18:47
life and character of Moses's future wife Zupporah before they met. Book author David
18:52
Harris brings the reader into the relationship between Moses and Zuppora, which was gradual
18:56
and lush. The story unfolds when Moses finally acts the Porah to marry him.
19:03
Purchase your copy of the book detailing this authentic story A Song for Zappora
19:07
by David Harris today. It's available online at Barnes Andnoble and Amazon dot com.
19:15
So I told you I will come back. You guards, I'm gonna
19:18
tell you my little story, and I apologize if you were seeing this,
19:22
but this is me and this is how I feel. I do no less
19:32
than maybe five programs a month by myself at my library, but there are
19:42
others that do may be one pat on the back I started to realize that
19:55
this was expected of me to do this many programs, and out of all
20:03
of my nineteen years, I have never gone one month without doing the program.
20:10
Only during the pandemic, and even when we came back during the pandemic,
20:14
I did a tutorial. May is going to be the first month I
20:22
do not do any programs because I felt like, this is expected of me,
20:30
this is what they expect. Oh Patricia, you do this match,
20:33
Oh patric you do that much, Oh patri. And then I had this,
20:36
I had a competition. I said, you know, I'm doing all
20:37
this in the librarian who got the degree is only doing that. Ah,
20:41
let me step back for a second. And you go to upper and they
20:48
say, uh, you know, talk about burnout, this, this,
20:52
this, And I'm like, do you really are Do you really understand the
20:55
word burnout coming from me? Because you still expect me to do these things.
21:00
So I have to pace myself. And now that's what I'm doing them.
21:03
I'm literally pacing myself. I'm doing programs now that matter to me.
21:10
So one of my programs is a mindfulness program. This is what I need,
21:15
not knowing that other people need the same thing too. Absolutely no,
21:21
you told us these three tips. You said, three strategies. So you
21:25
guys, go ahead and get your pen in, your paper and your pencil,
21:27
because we're gonna give you a little bit, give me much. Yeah,
21:32
because you still gotta go get the book. Yes, you're gonna give
21:34
us a little little snippet. Okay, So I will, I will,
21:38
And I want to say, I'm so proud of you, because Patrecea,
21:42
we train people how to treat us. Yes, so they come to expect
21:48
a certain thing from us because that's what we give. And this is not
21:52
about not being excellent at work, like that's out of integrity. But we
21:56
go, we push ourselves beyond excellent because we're so used to having to go
22:03
beyond. So then the weight of the whole library, or the department,
22:07
or of the company rest on your shoulders because everybody said, well she'll do
22:12
it. Okay. So now let's talk about the strategies. We have three
22:21
three hard work strategies, and again to really understand them and to practice them.
22:27
This is not just a book that you read like you work this thing.
22:30
And so there's a work book that is available for download. When you
22:37
get the book for free, the work book is yours when you get the
22:41
book, because you need to work these strategies in order to see the power
22:45
of them in your life. The first strategy is check your backpack. Let
22:52
me tell you what I mean. What standards, ideas, beliefs, systems
23:00
have been taught to you, passed down to you formally or informally that are
23:06
defining the way you show up for work or life. So those ideas that
23:11
we've been given, I'm given. Example. I always ask folks, what
23:15
is your definition of work and who taught you? What does it mean?
23:19
To where I'll ask you, Patrice, what is your definition of work and
23:22
who taught you what work means? That's a good question. Oh, I
23:32
guess my definition of work is wow, doing what I have, doing what
23:42
I have to do. Wow. All I can hear is what was said
23:52
to me by a boss one time, saying, you make me, you
23:56
make me look good, I'll make your life easy. I had a boss
24:02
to say that to me. He said, you make me look good,
24:04
I make your life look easy. If you make me look good, I
24:08
will make your life easy. Listen, I think it's no, it's not
24:12
at my current yarll you got sure? Kind of use that everywhere that I
24:18
gom you know. And my challenge with that, Patrice, my challenge with
24:23
that definition, and I'm so glad you said it, and I see LaTaya
24:26
in the chat as well, making ends meet. Right, My challenge with
24:30
that definition that that boss gave you is that could cause you to be hiding
24:34
in playing sight because you always making somebody else look good because they taught you
24:41
that's what your role is. That person, that person, not the people
24:44
you with now, but that person taught you that your role is to make
24:48
me look good. So your brilliance, your shine gets put behind a curtain
24:56
so that you can make the other person look good. And I'm not saying
24:59
as a think wrong with being a number two, y'all hear me. Some
25:02
of us are anointed to be a number two. That's exactly where we're supposed
25:06
to be. But sometimes your brilliance should be out front. Ooh, you
25:10
saund like my manager. Now, Okay, so you got to think about
25:15
what is your definition of work and who taught you? And here's the next
25:19
question. Is it still in alignment with who you are? Right? So,
25:25
I'm from Crockettville, South Carolina, girl, don't worry about it.
25:27
If you heard of it, we cousins. It's okay, it's all right.
25:30
Crockettville is in Hampton County. I promise you it's there. Crockettville,
25:36
South Carolina. Crockttville is Listen, friends, look, I told you.
25:41
I'm a South Carolina girl. Crockettville is a farming community. So work in
25:48
Crockettville is backbreaking, sweat andducing. Like my people got up before the sun
25:55
and they didn't come home until the sun went down. My stepdad would work
25:59
a shift, work eight hours, twelve hours, come home, take a
26:02
nap, then go to the field. Like in Crockettville. Work was hard
26:06
work because it was survival. It was survival. This is how we lived.
26:11
So I took that definition to the university setting. And in the university
26:15
setting, I had to be the first one at work. I couldn't leave
26:18
before everybody else was gone. I couldn't say no to any assignment because who
26:22
am I to say no? My people still in the fields of Crockettville,
26:25
and I'm sitting in this cushy office with the air conditioned I can't say no.
26:29
So you want another committee, Sure, I'll do it. Another project.
26:33
Yeah, I got it. A student crisis. Yeah, call me,
26:36
I'll show up. And I didn't realize that that definition, although it's
26:41
my foundation and it served me well, was killing me because although I was
26:48
born and raised in Crockettville, I'm not called to Crockettville. I was called
26:55
to be an educator. So I was taking a definition that no longer fit
27:00
my life, and it was choking the life out of me. So you
27:06
gotta recognize who taught you these lessons. Who are the people along the way
27:11
I see? I almost say my mom, I almost said, it's providing
27:17
for my family. Yes, and I get that. A lot people say,
27:19
well, work is to provide for your family. I believe that.
27:23
But I also believe that you should be working in your brilliance, like there's
27:27
a natural brilliance that flows from you, and the work that you do should
27:32
align with that brilliance because that brilliance is an automatic magnet for money. You
27:37
ain't gotta worry about money when you work securely in your brilliance. But so
27:41
many of us are doing work because we just surviving. I just gotta pay
27:47
these bills, girl, I just gotta buy these groceries. Look, I
27:52
ain't got time to think about no brilliance because I'm just trying to make it.
27:56
And what I'm telling you is that fulfillment will ever come until you can
28:00
wake up in the morning and say, I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be,
28:04
doing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing. So check your baggage.
28:11
I'm still stuck at the working end your brumans. I'm stuck there. Yeah
28:18
that's wow. I'm sorry, but you won't see that on my Facebook page
28:23
please because you sound like our producer. And they said amount of two or
28:33
three witnesses, and your number the three because I have a second witness.
28:37
Wow. Yeah, we got it. So I gotta give you these other
28:44
two because we're coming back to brilliance. So number one is check your baggage.
28:48
Number two is build your boundaries. I'm not talking about one of these
28:52
little safe, these little social media boundaries. I'm not talking about something cute
28:56
that you write in your journal and never look at again. But you're boundary
29:00
should be connected to what you are unwilling to lose. What are you unwilling
29:04
to lose? Where do you draw your line? We give it all up
29:08
for work. Patrice, my child felt like she needed an appointment to see
29:15
me while I was running to the campus taking care of everybody else's child.
29:18
Ooh ooh, my own health, my faith, my prayer, life was
29:25
a mess because I was waking up checking my email, going to bed,
29:27
checking my email. And you couldn't tell me I wasn't serving, and I
29:32
was. I was, but it was out of balance. It was out
29:36
of balance and it was out of order. I had no boundaries. I
29:41
say, no boundaries. So you gotta build boundaries connected to what you are
29:45
unwilling to lose, or you will lose it. Yeah. Speaking of daughters,
29:51
I took off for two days at work for my daughter's recital. Yes,
29:56
ma'am hearing me, and she said, Mommy, can you be in
29:57
the background. That's what I'm boss. I said, look, I just
30:00
need these two days off. One then one of the days turned into a
30:03
storm day, so they cancer recital. But I went to my boss again,
30:07
I say, so they're doing it on Thursday. I need to take
30:08
this whole entire day off. Well you got a program, okay? Cool?
30:12
And I told my daughter. I said, look, Mommy will be
30:15
there at twelve o'clock. And at twelve o'clock I was walking through it.
30:18
She's like, Mommy, you came. I said, I'm not gonna disappoint
30:22
you. I'm gonna stand behind these s cirtain and watch you dance walk to
30:26
your little legs fall off and oh yeah, the crew. I'm gonna send
30:30
y'all video cause my baby looks so cute this video. I'mna saying that to
30:33
y'all to night Anse. I will never forget her. Turn around, she's
30:38
dancing. She turned around and she gave me the wink, and I was
30:41
like, oh my baby, so yes, go ahead. Number three,
30:47
Number three, number three, and this is the one you fell in love
30:49
with anyway. Number three is discover your brilliance. You have an innate,
30:56
unique brilliance like nobody else and friend, you didn't learn it and you cannot
31:03
earn it. It flows freely from you. It's been your brilliance all your
31:07
life. Brilliance doesn't wait until you get the degree, until you get the
31:11
promotion, until you get the fancy job. You've been brilliant since your first
31:15
breath, and we've got to reconnect to that brilliance, that brilliance that flows
31:21
freely from you. Brilliance and purpose are the same thing. Brilliance and there's
31:26
a purpose, right, Passion and purpose are different. Passion and purpose is
31:32
different. Purpose is the who that's your brilliance. A passions are the what's
31:37
with an as? That's what you do? And especially in American culture,
31:42
we start asking kids as old as they can talk, what do you want
31:45
to put you through a world? What we really mean is what are you
31:49
going to do for money? So we start equating value with salary before a
31:56
child can even say a complete sentence. But I'm here to tell you when
32:01
you know that brilliance, when you know the who, you can do anything.
32:07
It's not about the doing. The doing comes easy when you know the
32:10
who. There is a signature, a fingerprint that you bring to every program
32:16
that you do, Patrice, and nobody else can do it like you.
32:22
And it doesn't mean they're not good in their own right. That it means
32:24
they're not Patrice, they're not you. When you do a program, it
32:30
comes out different, it will never be the same because you have an innate,
32:36
unique brilliance, a secret sauce that you put on everything that you do.
32:42
And once we know what our brilliance is, it frees us up from
32:46
that overperforming overachieving, overworking comparison because there is no comparison. There's no competition
32:55
for you. Nobody can beat you being you. And when I tell you,
33:00
there's a power and a confidence. Not cocky, not prideful, but
33:06
responsible. I'm responsible for this brilliance. It's my responsibility to share it with
33:13
the world. Now that I'm aware of it, I know what this brilliance
33:16
is. I'm responsible to pour it out, and so are you, and
33:20
so is everybody that's listening. If there is breath in your body, you
33:23
are brilliant. Okay, y'all just had the motivation moment of this year.
33:32
Okay, I can't help it. Sure, you just me me, me,
33:38
want to run laps? I can do now, Rocky lin That that's
33:43
why I'm hearing in my head. I'm hearing the theme of Rocky Okay,
33:47
So you just need to tell us how we can get this book. Just
33:53
give us the rundown, because you have hit so many nails that are really
34:00
really mothers. And I'm gonna send this show to my sister. She is
34:07
that person and she will show up. She don't care who we are,
34:14
why, but she gonna show up for her kids. Yeah. Uly steed
34:17
to tell us how we're gonna get this book, ma'am. I gotta tell
34:21
you it took me about a year to write it and edit and do all
34:24
the things. It took me twenty years to live this thing. I poured
34:30
twenty years of my life into this book, all the hard lessons, the
34:38
moment that I thought was going to take me out. The fruit of that
34:43
moment is this book. So I always say I'm not attached to a number.
34:50
I don't have like a metric. If I want to sell this many
34:52
books, that ain't my goal. My goal is to get this into the
34:57
hands of every woman who needs it, because I know what it feels like
35:01
to be drowning the burnout. I know what it feels like to live your
35:07
life overwhelmed and you don't know how to stop it. These strategies work not
35:14
just for me, but for all the women that I have the honor to
35:16
walk with, and their stories are here too. So this book is available
35:21
wherever books are sold online. Specifically, you can go to Disrupting burnoutbook dot
35:28

35:36
