In this insightful episode of the EZ Conversations podcast, I welcome Panda Ludwig to discuss the often overlooked but critical topic of burnout. The conversation covers the stigma surrounding burnout, identifying early signs, and practical strategies for managing it. Panda shares her personal story of experiencing severe burnout and the journey back to health, emphasizing the importance of self-care, setting boundaries, and understanding one’s motivations. The episode provides valuable advice on maintaining a sustainable work-life balance, including tips on nutrition, hydration, Sleep, and Exercise, as well as the significance of self-worth and passion in preventing burnout. Listeners are encouraged to reflect on their own lives, visualize their goals, and prioritize holistic well-being for long-term success.
Amanda “Panda” Ludwig is an award-winning entrepreneur and multi-company founder. Despite her
diverse skill set spanning corporate Finance to non-profit management, the most profound part of her
journey unfolds not in a boardroom but in a hospital room.
At the peak of her career, Panda confronted a pivotal moment when a doctor delivered the words
“slow down or die”.
Following a two-year medical leave, Panda has emerged as a beacon of hope for high-achievers,
illustrating that success and genuine happiness can harmoniously coexist utilizing the insight and
methods that she developed during her recovery.
