Adena Jones | Deputy Managing Editor @ Bleacher Report

About this video

This transcript does not appear to be from the My First Million podcast. It is a personal essay or spoken-word performance by Adina Jones about burnout, self-worth, and learning to balance ambition with self-care, drawing on her experience as a deputy managing editor at Bleacher Report and her high school campaign for senior class president.

Key takeaways

• Adina reflects on the exhaustion that comes from constant striving and taking on microaggressions in the workplace, describing feeling ‘sick and tired’ rather than just tired
• She recounts giving maximum effort to her senior class presidential campaign and losing, but later finding peace in knowing she did everything she could
• The core lesson Adina articulates is learning to maintain ambition and intensity while also protecting her self-worth and sanity through self-care and grace in quiet moments
