Burnout is not just exhaustion—it’s a breakdown of how we cope, perform, and lead.

In this episode of the Accounting Talent Podcast, we sit down with Lynnette Oss of ReInspired, a former firm owner turned burnout strategist. After spending years pushing through work and family demands—only to crash hard when personal emergencies hit—Lynnette realized the problem wasn’t her grit.
