419: Behind the Sessions: Encore Presentation of Episode 197, Burnout and Managing Overwhelm
Wednesday, 28 May, 2025
For today’s episode, I’m bringing back an episode from pandemic times. We are featuring an encore presentation of Episode 197, Burnout and Managing Overwhelm. Even though this episode was about managing the challenges and stress that came with life during a global pandemic, there is much application to be made to life today. These coping skills and tools are ALWAYS needed as we face frightening and overwhelming days. Stress can turn into anxiety and depression as we become judgmental with ourselves, and we all need a reminder to take care of ourselves, no matter what challenges we face. Always check in with yourself and recognize when you need to tap out for a bit. Enjoy this encore episode! Show Highlights: Interpreting your feelings during moments of stress Approaching new considerations as life changes Why life is hard in many ways Tips for feeling better: Remember that you are resilient. Getting help is NOT failure. Honor your exhaustion by taking a break and setting boundaries. Check in with your sleep, eating/hydration, hormones, and stress. Turn “What’s wrong with me?” into “What’s going on for me?” Take time to reflect and allow space just to BE.
