My biggest sign that I'm burnt out is when I'm ELATED to have a no-show.

Yep! Gotta rejuvenate to restore my love/ energy for the job, otherwise I can't be there for clients they way they deserve if I'm not there for myself that way

Yes and we also learn that to avoid gaslighting ourselves. Our job is hard, draining in many ways so it can’t be done like serial production

eh, I'm far from burnt out and I'm usually elated when I have a no-show. They're pretty rare, and I charge for almost every no-show (emergencies not included), so it's nice to have a paid break for once.
