She not only addresses what to do if you are currently experiencing burnout, but also how to prevent burnout from happening, which is so important for people in the pet care industry (and beyond!). Kristin also shows how to deal with burnout in your work and personal life and how to get to the root of those issues.

While recovering from that burnout and finding guidance for my new path, I did a lot of digging and research on my own, and discovered some of the techniques that Kristin shares in one single place in this book. With the significant changes to our lives and the pet care industry because of the 2020 pandemic, I have been feeling somewhat lost and adrift, even though my business is presently “okay.” Kristin’s book provides practical suggestions and plans for taking steps to feel more in control of yourself and your business, so that you can recover from or prevent burnout, and grow yourself and your company. Each chapter also includes great stories from others who have also been through burnout and made it to the other side, and the Action Items that Kristin provides are great exercises to get you moving in a positive direction. Having read the book and worked on several of the Action Items, I can say that I’m feeling more refreshed and hopeful than I have in months. Thank you, Kristin!

I have struggled this year, not just from the pandemic but in general. I started coaching sessions last year with Kristin which helped me focus on ways to restructure my business.
A few weeks ago, I had the honor to be selected by Kristin to be one of the first readers of her new book, “How to Recover from Pet Business Burnout ”. I started reading and just like that…I was hooked! It was as if Kristin was speaking directly to me. I began to understand why I was feeling so withdrawn and overwhelmed at the same time. Not only was I experiencing all the hardships of the pandemic, but I was completely in “burnout mode” and had not realized it. Entrepreneurship can be difficult and without the right tools, you can become overwhelmed.
This book gives you the right tools to step back, evaluate, and restart your engine. Through new ideas on how to run my business and not let it run me, self-care tips, and ways to calm my inner self I can now see a light at the end of the tunnel. For me, the most important parts of this book were letting go of negative beliefs and learning to incorporate affirmations to get the things I desire. My personal and professional life feels back on track again.

I was starting to feel like I was really struggling which was affecting my personal life and if left unchanged would have certainly affected my business, I had already tried putting some steps in place to help, but I have found this book is really encouraging me to make positive changes, and some that I wouldn’t have even thought of before reading this!

I love how each chapter offers something different to consider and each action step is clearly laid out and easy to follow. I also feel comforted reading more about Kristin’s story, as well as other pet professionals, it’s really nice to know you’re not alone!

I have already started implementing some of Kristin’s suggestions, after months of feeling burned out I feel like I am starting to de-stress and gain a better insight into how to best help myself, and in turn help my clients even more!

If you are already feeling burned out, if you could be heading that way, or if you know anybody else who may be, I highly recommend this book! Thank you, Kristin.

This was most helpful, and Kristin provided a variety of tasks depending on how you want to fix your burnout. I have realized that I need to work on my business and also myself so I can successfully keep my business running without feeling burnout. Hearing from other pet care providers in each chapter was very encouraging and helped me understand I am not the only one going through this. I highly recommend reading the book and taking the time to follow the action steps and journal.

As someone who has been struggling with burnout and trying to set boundaries between my work and personal life, I will no longer feel guilty for putting myself first. It seemed like Kristin was speaking directly to me and my situation, and telling me exactly what I needed to do to fix it. Just a few days into following her guidance, I feel like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders and I can finally feel like myself again.
