Saleema Vellani: Reinvent Yourself

Decode Your Burnout (formerly Optimize Your Life)

Sometimes life throws us curve balls and forces us into situations that are novel. We all experienced that with COVID. What if instead of sticking to your comfort zone, you seized these opportunities to reinvent yourself? Certainly, this may help you prevent burnout if you are easily bored at work and crave stimulation.

Saleema Vellani is no stranger to reinvention. It all began at the age of 16 when she lost her mother to cancer. She decided to learn a foreign language, move abroad, and put herself into the unknown.

But Saleema wasn’t always this resolute. Her story sends the message that with some courage and a willingness to explore anyone can redesign their life. She debunks three myths about what it takes to successfully do so.
