The COVID-19 pandemic pushed human resource professional Brittanie Young, SHRM-SCP, into stress eating. It wasn’t long before she developed dangerously high blood pressure.
“I’ve learned that when I’m burned out, it’s very hard to have the energy to spend with family and friends, let alone try to exercise and get outside, which are essential for physical, mental and emotional health,” says Young, principal talent management consultant at Rejuvenate HR, a Memphis, Tenn.-based consulting firm. She helps small businesses and nonprofits—many of which have limited resources—develop HR strategies.
