Killing Eve is back this weekend for Season 2; are you as excited as I am? I’m so ready for more of Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s razor dagger-sharp script-writing, more scene stealing fashion and two of the most complex, well-written female characters on the box.

Burnout isn’t just about feeling tired; it’s a total and utter max-out in energy – period. You don’t just feel tired, you feel drained of everything that keeps you going on a day to day basis. For example, the creative energy that you need to be able to come up with new ideas at work? All out. All that social energy you need to maintain relationships? Gone.
