However, it has not been easy for Palmer, who has experienced career burnout more than once. In an interview with Refinery29, she details her journey in achieving a sense of relaxation amongst her busy schedule. Palmer stated, “I’ve been burnt out many times… It’s just kinda what happens when you push yourself, and unfortunately when you’re the kind of person that I am, [someone] who takes on so much at one time.”
