When’s the last time you truly had fun? Joy? A big belly laugh?

We need to make fun a non-negotiable.

Personally, it’s an important part of my approach to burnout recovery.

And for many women, it takes some figuring out. They need to do a little soul searching and experimenting around:

“What do I actually like to do?”
“What is fun for me?”
“What do I TRULY have fun doing?” (Not what do I feel like I ‘should’ enjoy)

If you have something that brings you fun and joy, share it in the comments below! Maybe you’ll inspire someone to bring more joy into their life✨

Is burnout the price of success?

I don’t buy it.

But I also think many of us have to get clear about what “success” means to us.

Many of us are chasing someone else’s definition of success.

For a while, many years probably, we don’t even realize it.

But it takes a heavy toll.

One of the biggest sources of stress so many high achieving women are dealing with is the stress of living and working in a way that doesn’t match what we really desire and value deep inside.

So if you’re going after a version of success that isn’t yours? Yeah, burnout is inevitable.

Part of the healing process means coming to terms with what you actually want, and asking for it and going after it unapologetically.

I had 3 therapists. One tried to medicate me. (nope, thanks!)

Another literally threw up her hands in exasperation when I wasn’t feeling better (”I don’t know what to do for you!” she said. Not joking).

The third actually got me to take action and stop overthinking.

(And she also didn’t just let me stay in therapy for the rest of my life, but that’s a topic for another day.)

My therapist that actually helped me? We had great rapport. She made me feel normal. And she knew how to get me to take scary action, outside my comfort zone.

At that point in my life, that’s a big part of what I needed.

The other thing I needed, I had to find elsewhere.

And that was the SOMATIC part. I needed help getting out of my head, constantly analyzing everything, believing every story in my mind.

I needed to reconnect with my BODY. To learn to trust myself again. The work I’ve done in that department is what’s helped me put burnout and chronic anxiety to bed for good.

One of the reasons I became a coach was to help fellow high-achieving women recover from burnout a lot faster and more easily than I did.

But I also know that sometimes you need a coach, sometimes you need a therapist, and sometimes you need both.

I wrote a blog post on this topic, specifically to help you figure out what sort of support you need in your burnout recovery journey, so you can make an informed decision and start getting that help asap.

Burnout can look a lot like laziness from the outside - or from your deep inner mean girl.

For women who’ve always prided themselves on their hard work ethic, their ambition and drive, their edge…

…feeling less motivated or “lazy” can feel like FAILURE.

But when this is happening, the last thing we need is to blame ourselves, beat up on ourselves, or even force ourselves to work harder.

What we need is to recognize that this “laziness” is actually a message: we’ve been pushing too hard, for too long.

Our nervous system has been stuck in survival mode for far too long.

And we can’t operate that way any longer.

The real fix?

First, give yourself some grace.

Second, allow yourself to pause.

Third, learn how to shift your nervous system out of survival mode.

And when you start doing those things, you might realize there’s other changes you want to make to the context of your life - that maybe the way you’re living and working is pushing you past capacity.

But it’s hard to know what those changes would be, until you can start giving your nervous system a rest from constant crisis-mode.

I absolutely love supporting women with this work because, in all honesty, it’s changed my own life.

And I just created a free training that breaks down the exact 3-part process I guide my clients through to help them heal burnout for good- and without quitting their jobs or spending half their life on self-care.

Seemingly “small” health issues feel like an annoyance till one day you’re hit with a crisis like a ton of bricks.

Sometimes that’s a health crisis (obviously. And if this has already happened, my heart goes out to you).

Other times it’s a different kind of crisis.

A “need to quit my job” crisis.

A “getting a divorce” crisis.

Please listen: those pesky physical symptoms are messages from your body.

They’re saying you’re carrying too much.

They’re saying you’re exerting yourself beyond capacity.

They’re saying you’re under more stress than you’re currently able to handle.

They’re signs that you are in burnout and that it’s time to take action.

I relate this from personal experience, and from working with high-achieving women on burnout recovery, most of whom reached out when in ‘crisis’ mode.

But could take action before the crisis hits?

In my free training, I breakdown what that kind of action can look like.

You’ll learn why high achieving women are so prone to burnout, what keeps us stuck for so long, and what *actually* works to resolve burnout once and for all.

(Even if you’ve been ‘doing all the things’ to fix yourself, and to no avail).
