I am terrified of rattlesnakes! So there I was, hiking in the bone-dry Texas canyon, keeping my eyes glued to the ground. All of a sudden, something caught my attention behind the bush up ahead. My heart stopped as I spotted an enormous bison blocking my path. A pissed-off bison, mind you… and it came charging at me! I quickly darted behind…Read More

I’ve gone back and forth on the prompt. Maybe it’s time for an experiment?

I like this question as it is written: How a charging bison gave me a crash course on burnout.
I see where Ruth is coming from that is might be more thought provoking. I think you should experiment with this one and see what happens.

You have probably experimented by now… but what it tells me is that if a charging bison can teach you about burnout, I know I can ask you absolutely anything !

It is an amazing concept.
I would possibly open slightly differently.
“There I was hiking in the bone-dry Texas canyon, keeping my eyes glued to the ground for rattlesnakes. Frankly, I am terrified of rattlesnakes! All of sudden….”
While I love the line “what a bison taught me about burnout”, I get that a charging bison can teach you about str…Read More

I had to write an Origin Story for my speaker profile. I’m sharing it below. This is more than sufficient for my purposes, and I have no intention of lengthening my story using this month’s template. So I’ll be bowing out of the remainder of this month’s sessions. . . Have fun!
Have you ever felt like you were running on fumes, but didn’t…Read More

This works well for your website and social posts. I do think it lacks emotion. The only emotion is the burnout.
You mention Joy and simplicity of being on the road, but you haven’t painted a true picture of what that looks like. You are just telling me, which makes it impossible for me to actually see. That last sentence needs more, otherwise…Read More -

I like all the travel and adventure language (running on fumes/empty, climb, brink, etc.) I agree with Amy about wanting more details on the sunny side of things.
The second paragraph of your post (starting with “But”) might read “But after 18 months of working from home, I was running on empty. I found myself back where I started, on the brink…Read More

This is the post I put out on LI referring to my escape from a bison:
Have you ever found yourself so focused on one thing that you ignore the bigger risks around you?
Let me tell you a story.
I was hiking in 🐍 rattlesnake territory when I came across this bison. I froze, unsure of bison etiquette. And then . . . the bison charged me. It…Read More

scurried behind bushes – rattlesnakes be damned – and retreated quickly.

Ha! I scurried into cactus and bushes and retreated to safety. I actually have a video.

I don’t have fresh new testimonials, so I repackaged an older one. I had done a Zoom interview with a testimonial, but it was lengthy. I took the audio, excerpted it, turned it into video, and uploaded it to my website. Here’s how it turned out.

Love this idea! Way to re-purpose.

This is an interesting format! I’ve got video testimonials that need to be edited before being consumable…. but I could totally do something like this instead. Thanks for sharing!

My main question after this prompt, even being familiar with your story, is “What does a bison have to do with burnout?” Is that what you’re looking for, or did you want to provoke a more substantive burnout-related discussion?
