It's within your control to change your experience, because it's your expectations that sow the seeds of disappointment. And many of your expectations are actually redundant - they don't make your life better.
Reducing your need for the world to make your life good is a p...
Becoming your strongest ally is a choice.
Many people have not been taught the kind of self-belief that will protect them from burnout for life. Perhaps that's why you're here?
I can teach you. Self-belief is a CHOICE, and we can LEARN how to do it. This, more than any other choice we might make, is the gift that keeps on giving and it's never too late.
I can't recommend it highly ...

The alchemy of transforming burnout into joy takes a little getting used to. But I cannot otherwise explain the transformation that clients go through, when they come in riddled with negativity, feeling dragged down and lifeless and coming out smiling, cheerful and full of optimism and enthusiasm.

It can be oh-so-tempting to blame others for our burnout blues. Usually, we won't win that fight, and the cost will be more than we can bear, and our despair will increase.
Whether others blame us, or we blame others, we might instead extract ourselves from the battle and soothe our bruised souls. Here's how.

What you need to know about codependence and its detrimental effects on relationships.
Codependent behaviors stem from fear of rejection and a commensurate need for approval and control, leading to dysfunctional relationship dynamics that impact self-esteem, emotional maturity and connection.
It's possible to overcome such behaviors through creating internal safety, learning skills such as effe...
Somewhere in the depths of burnout, life may become so dark that we hide our bleak reality from ourselves. As if we're personally bankrupt - our previous capable self no longer available - and we retreat in distress.
Happily, burnout is reversible, and the restoration includes your mood, performance, sociability, self-esteem, enthusiasm and all the other good qualities you've hidden in the cellar la...

Let's explore how extreme ownership can help you bounce back from burnout and boost your leadership skills. It's so powerful to own your actions, performance and mistakes, instead of overcommitting or trying to please everyone, or passing the buck.

Childhood gave us rules for survival that worked well then, but can be counter-productive in adulthood. At work, our unresolved childhood fears pop up at random and trigger the amygdala, freezing our adult brain. We cannot (in the moment) solve a fear that happened decades ago.
However, coaching is particularly successful in unburdening us of the childhood fears of rejection, abandonment and disapproval. The...

Burnout shuts us down big time, cramming us up inside with our negative emotions. We become automatons, plodding through our day, trying to satisfy others, forgetting about things we like to do.
What we discard on the way is our authenticity, leaving a dull empty ache. In this episode I invite you to a better place, where being you is the BEST thing to be. Burnout Recovery celebrates the you-ness of you s...

Belonging is a gnarly topic to raise with anyone in burnout, who is caught between wanting to be seen as a high-performer, and guiltily slinking away, feeling like a failure.
Belonging is widely misunderstood. We think it's conferred upon us by others. That's a limited view, because if we fail to offer ourselves belonging, we can't receive it when it's offered by others.
The mor...
Most people can't recover from burnout alone - because what got them into burnout will not get them out.
It takes a mentor - but asking for help rarely comes naturally to those in burnout.
Worse, many find it hard to receive the goodness of such help. Imposter Syndrome and feeling unworthy get in the way, along with the burning desire they have to fix their own problems.
Let's talk about th...
