Frazzled The Podcast

Is a strong sense of fairness leaving you feeling FRAZZLED? Is your moral compass causing you more stress than calm? Is a difference in values leaving you feeling less than? Sometimes the more we do the work on ourselves, the less tolerance we have for others, for things that don't align with our own values, and for what we will and won't continue with. And this can, until we get comfortable with...

Happy Birthday to me!! Today I celebrate my 44th Birthday and at this time of year I always look back on my last year and set my goals and intentions for the year ahead. This time, it felt different, and rather than specific measures, I've gone for more of a feeling after reframing a question that I usually ask myself. I'm sharing my reframe and letting you know what I'm up to today, in today's FR...

What's no longer working for you? The job? The relationship? The routine or schedule? The way you're working? I thought August off would be my ultimate sign of success, turns out, whilst it was great, I don't feel as great about it as I thought I would. Or perhaps as great as I thought as I SHOULD! Where are you "shoulding" that's leaving you more FRAZZLED than fabulous? What needs to change? Join...

Is holding back causing you more stress? Is forcing yourself to try and rest and recover and reset whilst you still have everything buzzing around in your head causing you more worry than calm and more chaos on your head than quiet? I get it. And I found a way through it. That's what I'm discussing in this latest episode of FRAZZLED kellyswingler.com   #Burnout #BurnoutAwareness #BurnoutPreve...

Not as in a car, but mentally and emotionally, I almost crashed. I'd been doing really well, taking care of myself, prioritising, sticking to my non-negotiables, and then something happened that I hadn't planned for, my sleep went out the window, and I began to crash and spiral. How did I catch it in time? And what did I learn? That's this week episode of FRAZZLED www.kellyswingler.com #Burnout #B...

Are you dressed for success or just trying to cover up the fact that you're running on empty? Are you putting on the mask each day to try and hide just how tired, exhausted and stressed you feel? Or are you masking being on the brink of Burnout? I'm sharing in this episode of FRAZZLED how I hid behind the outfits just to show I had it all together, when the reality was very different. www.kellyswi...

Addictions can be all consuming, damaging, and feel impossible to break free from. Addictions take hold, and nothing else seems to matter. Being addicted to work may seem like an exaggeration, but it becomes all to real the closer we get to Burnout. And if we can spot the signs early enough, perhaps we can avoid Burnout. I'm talking about a work addiction is this latest episode of FRAZZLED ww...

If like me you're a doer, an all or nothinger, and an over achiever that works at 10,000 miles an hour, rest probably feels like 'do nothing'. And how do you 'do nothing' as a doer? In this episode of FRAZZLED I'm talking about how as doer's we can rethink rest in a way that benefits us and allows us to restore our energy in the best possible way to help us to avoid and prevent Burnout www.kellysw...

Do you find yourself feeling like you need to earn your time off? Are you working twice or three times as much before you go off on leave? What if, and I'm still learning this with you all, we could just give ourselves to take the time off, no guilt, no working twice as hard, no feeling like we need to earn it? What could be different? I'm talking about this in this latest episode of FRAZZLED &nbs...

Not all stress is bad for you, you need certain levels of stress to get you out of bed each morning, to help you achieve your goals, and to help you reach the finish line. But what do you do when your stress moves from healthy to unhealthy, into the chronic stress zone, and moves toward Burnout? I'm talking about the good stress, and the bad, in this latest episode of FRAZZLED. #Burnout #BurnoutPr...

"So we need to deal with Burnout and menopause now?!?" Err, yes. The two are not mutually exclusive. One is preventable. Both are key to ensuring your people stay happy, healthy, and high-performing. And yes, I know, you're just in business to make money, you haven't got time for all of this people stuff. But here's the thing, without the people stuff, you have no people. No people, no business. N...

Something is wrong. The number of appointments, sessions, training, conversations, meetings, and calls being cancelled, often at the last minute, and sometimes without even an apology is a sign of something underlying. The stress that everyone is under, and the pressure that everyone is feeling. It needs to change. You cannot keep this cycle going, it needs to be broken, and quickly. I 'm not sayi...

Burnout does weird stuff to your brain. I thought I was fully recovered, I'm not. Perhaps not even close. But I am doing a lot better than I was last year, and definitely the year before that. So progress is progress, but I know I think differently than I used to. I react differently. And for the most part, I'm ok, but the overwhelm and freeze response, still catches me off guard. The impact of Bu...

FRAZZLED is back for season 2, and I'm starting with why we need to do less to achieve more, and why our pushing for more, is actually stopping us from getting things done, slowing us down, and impacting our performance. And, because I've known that I've still been doing too much this year, despite saying I'd do less, this felt like a great place for FRAZZLED to restart. I'm so pleased to be back!...

I recently had to have a word with myself. Even with all I know about the need to rest, how to prevent Burnout, how to stop exhaustion and fatigue, and how to reduce stress, I've been stuck with a bug for almost four weeks. And I feel awful. And my default was to keep going and just 'push through'. I stopped myself and realised that rest was what I needed, but I kept resisting it. Because my inner...

We're coming to a time of the year when stress rises, tempers fray, and for some, it all feels too much. All of the marketers have of course caught onto this, and they are offering you a stress-free life. So you spend the money, but nothing changes. Why? Because we all need stress, just not the unhealthy kind. I'm talking about this and more in this week's episode of FRAZZLED.     #Burno...

How many decisions are you making a day because of the life clutter surrounding you? How much time and energy is life clutter stealing from you? If your decisions were reduced could you increase your attention, energy, and focus? I'm talking about this and more in this latest episode of FRAZZLED.     www.kellyswingler.com #FRAZZLED #Burnout #BurnoutPrevention #BurnoutRecovery #Declutter

"Our people don't have time" "What do you say to all of the people who can't find the time to put themselves first?" I hear these things a lot, and now I have just one response and whilst it may hit pretty hard, it's sadly the truth. If you do not make time for your wellness, you will be forced to take time for your illness. And I don't know who that quote belongs to, I've definitely been saying i...

How often do you apologise for putting yourself first? How often do you make apologies to the people that matter most? I've been MIA for a couple of weeks, and I'm sorry I've not been around. But I'm not sorry for putting myself and my family first. You see, just like you, I only have a certain of hours in each day, and a certain amount of energy to fill those hours with, and I won't apologise for...

In this episode I'm sharing what I've let go of, even stuff that I love, to help me feel less FRAZZLED and a lot more fabulous. Enjoy!   kellyswingler.com   #BurnoutPrevention #Empowerment #Choices

Is your need to please people all of the time adding to your stress? What if I told you that people pleasing, isn't actually about wanting to please others, but it's about you feeling validated and wanted? What if, instead of trying to please others, you focused on serving others? I'm talking about this and more in this week's episode of FRAZZLED. Enjoy! kellyswingler.com #Stress #PeoplePleasing #...

Aha Mic drop Lightbulb moment Epiphany Today, I have realised for the first time in my life, that my company, does not need to have my own personal values. And more specifically, my own business does not need to have my personal values. Because it's not me, and it's not about me. My business is about my clients - which of course I knew - but it's important that my company values are best placed fo...

I've been away from home for 12 days, and I have five days left on retreat, in the sun, in the quiet, facing the seas from the mountains, where I'm fed and pampered daily. Sounds wonderful right? And for the most part, it is. And I'm grateful that I get to do this every year. It's also hard, emotionally and physically. Change brings with it the messy middle, the part where you're not in the old an...
