@notesbyalexa: I was not good at managing stress at McKinsey. like, genuinely bad at it. I either numbed out by being constantly busy and social on weekends, or I swung to the complete opposite and isolated myself, didn’t drink enough water, barely moved my body — basic human needs just fell off completely. nobody talks about how much of a toll that actually takes. and I say this as someone who genuinely loved a lot of what consulting gave me. running two businesses now is a different kind of hard. the stress is real, the pressure is real — but I’ve gotten a lot more intentional about how I manage it. some of it is obvious. some of it really hard to maintain for me but it’s become a priority!! #burnout #stressmanagement #foundertok #corporatelife #womeninbusiness​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
