Making Time For Your Dreams and Inner Longings by Shawn Fink

We all hit burnout at different points in our lives and when that happens we tend to just take some downtime, try to regroup and then get back to our regularly scheduled lives.

This is a normal way of handling burnout.

But for this week’s guest on The Brave Yes Show a little downtime wasn’t going to be enough. Nor could she even imagine what that would look like.

And so her first Brave Yes — which was to leave her job as a therapist — led to her other Brave Yeses, which ultimately led her to turn her burnout story into a brand new coaching business.

Nicole’s story is much like my own big Brave Yes – leaving my 9-5 job in public policy and government and going out on my own to build a coaching business.

When the signs of burnout start to show up, it’s up to us to decide how to move through it.

As Nicole shares so clearly and honestly life just isn’t so linear as we wish it would be.

But unless we listen to ourselves, we’ll never actually live into our true purpose and passion, which denies our ability to shine authentically.

Ep. 19 Weighing The Costs And Choosing Authenticity Anyway With Suzette Mullen by Shawn Fink

I'm feeling the good energy one feels after spending a positive, uplifting afternoon with other women. The spring retreat was yesterday and we really focused on exceptional well-being practices that would not only feel good but leave us lifted up and in a more optimal state emotionally and mentally.

It's not the same as being in person but it's oh so good.

One of the themes that came up a lot by the end of the retreat is the work that these women need to do around releasing fears.

And in coaching work, this is a big part of the work we do. It's necessary to release fears in order to move forward in our lives.

When we are standing up for ourselves, our beliefs, our dreams ... we are also putting ourselves out there. We are giving ourselves space to do something incredible, something novel.

In this episode, I'm talking about how we need to lean toward hope -- not fear - when we are making a change in our lives.

Ep. 16 Reclaiming A Lost Cultural Identity With Mindy Tsonas Choi by Shawn Fink

In today’s Brave Yes episode, using the 3 Brave Yes Voices interviews I’ve published so far, I am taking a little time to talk about this messy middle process that happens when we say yes to a Brave Yes, what we need to do to move through it and what we find on the other side.
