In the season 8 finale of Happy Hour with Bundle Birth Nurses, Sarah Lavonne welcomes former cohost Justine back to the podcast for a much-needed life update. Justine, who cohosted the podcast for six seasons and played a huge role in the Bundle Birth community, catches Sarah up on all the changes in her world- from moving to a new state and working full time as a mom to building an urban homestead complete with goats, chickens, rabbits, and more. Together, they reflect on what it looks like to recognize burnout and decide whether to stay, step back, or make a change. Both Sarah and Justine experienced burnout this year, but took very different approaches to navigating it. It’s an honest conversation about seasons of change, work, and knowing when it’s time to make a move. Thanks for listening and subscribing!
