FRIED. The Burnout Podcast

It is extremely important to me that people see their doctors before doing burnout coaching with me because sometimes we find something out that’s an easy fix. Maggie was EXHAUSTED and waking up unrested. She went to her doctor and found out she had slight sleep apnea. Now, she sleeps with a CPAP machine and wakes up earlier than ever with energy to spare. I’ve had other clients and patients find...

When your self worth is tied up in your business, or your job, or your role as a mother - you take EVERYTHING personally. Everything feels to you a reflection of whatever you’re doing right, or whatever you’re doing wrong and no matter what - it’s never good enough. If you have a 'good day' at the office and feel good about yourself, it feels okay. But when you have a bad day and feel like...

Listen to this one all the way th...

After a threatened miscarriage, instead of listening to the whispers, Kim Porter doubled down and went for it in her business because of the fear that if she slowed down and let go of what she had built, none of what she had done until that point would have had value.

Sarah started this podcast off strong by going straight to the heart of what burnout is for so many of us - the hard work and stress that causes burnout is derived from an inner belief that we are not enough, we are not valuable unless we work really hard and prove ourselves.

Burnout comes in many forms, and is often accompanied by a diagnosable physical (or mental-emotional) issue.
