Summer burnout or FOMO? As esthetic professionals, many of us were initially excited and encouraged about returning to work post-pandemic. We adjusted many aspects of our businesses—masks, new cleaning protocols, longer appointment times, a more forgiving cancellation policy, etc.
But now, just as the rest of the country is setting new travel records going everywhere (or anywhere) here we are, stuck in our treatment rooms every weekend!
Are we burnt out on many levels, or are we suffering from fear of missing out? If it’s the former for you, you are not alone! A 2020 study found that 76 percent of US workers admit to feeling burnout, with 3 percent citing COVID-19 stressors as a contributor.
In this episode, we discuss what burnout looks like in our industry and share some tools to keep your passion fires burning by protecting from a few triggers.
About NeoGenesis:
Introducing the next generation of stem cell science for skin and hair care: NeoGenesis patented S²RM® technology. This exclusive technology harnesses the power of adult stem cell-released molecules to awaken your body’s natural regenerative power. This natural approach to healing simply returns to the damaged tissue the molecules that were present when the skin was young and healthy. Because of what we are able to do with traumatic wound care—from accidents, burns, chemo, radiation, and more—we knew this science could also serve aging concerns and chronic issues. We also enhance the result of all treatment-room modalities, reduce downtime, and aid in resolving issues resulting from treatment modalities that did not go exactly as planned. There are no contraindications, and we offer a full money-back guarantee on our skin care products.

More than that, she wanted to create a community that feels like a “tribe to thrive” and to be a beacon of light and excellence for the spa and wellness industry.
