This weeks podcast hits home because I recently connected the dots of burning myself out of my first job as a full time nurse. I kept trying to buy myself more time, push down the feelings of boredom & finding myself unmotivated/uninspired by things that once set my soul on fire. 
 
 Todays guest, Ellyn is a burnout + stress management coach. After going through her own version of burnout in graduate school she speaks so passionately about: 

-How to identify what burnout & what it might look like in your life
 
 -The 4 types of burnout 

-What is the stress cycle, steps of it & how to end the cycle 

-Burnout in life vs. burnout in your career
 
 -Overwhelm, stress & burnout-- what they have in common & how to differentiate
 
 & SO MUCH MORE. Like literally this episode is GOLD. 
 
 This episode didn't come by you by chance, listen to what Ellyn has to share & take note of shifts you might need to implement in to your own life.

Today's guest has been one of my FAVORITE interviews to do because I am 1) in realtime learning SO MUCH about my body & my hormones and how it plays a role in what I do DAILY & Corinne is a POWERHOUSE speaker on the subject. 

She is a certified holistic nutritionist who helps reproductive aged women learn about their bodies how their hormones are so intricately connected to everything they do and how to use nutrition, lifestyle, cycle syncing, supplementation & so much more to improve their overall health which will then improve their hormones!

Trust me, I thought I was "broken" too but Corinne breaks down so many tangible goodies in this episode to help you live more in sync with your body-- we talk about everything from painful periods to hormones to mindset to energy to SIMPLE meal prep & so much more!

About 60 days ago I texted Liz D, my bestie, and told her that I was going to be starting 75 Hard she replied and said "oh damn idk if I can do it rn but I've thought about it, thanks for telling me + you'll do great" not even a few hours later she said "f it, I'm in, I ordered the book"....

and THAT is what we have learned from this program. That life is never going to be convenient, there is going to be a lot of things you don't feel like doing & through this episode we are helping you bring light to the areas where you make excuses for yourself, help you recognize AND fulfill your max potential, where you can push yourself to grow & achieve just a little bit more. We talk about 75 hard, what the program is & what we have learned. 

But with us & this program-- we know this is just the beginning. The things we have learned/are learning are tools that we will carry with us for the rest of our lives. It's not an end game by any means but its about conquering the inner mean girl living within you here and now and learning how to push past mediocre time and time again. 

I interviewed her on another episode a few weeks ago, you can find that episode here:

This one is for my nurse fam, we (you & I) love to help others. 

I think of myself as a giver by nature.. Somebody who would do anything for anyone & maybe you can relate? After all, we got in to the profession for a reason

We care about caring & care about the well-being of others

About 6 months ago I found myself dreading going to work. Everyday I would walk out to the parking lot & just close my eyes finding myself making every excuse for why the shift was hard. I was searching high & low for ways to get away from bedside nursing.

I was discouraged, frustrated & almost hopeless. Being a nurse was not at all what I expected it to be like. 

Maybe you’re like.. Mich, it’s me.. Right now. I am struggling. I dread work. I don’t find joy in what I do 

So I want you to ask yourself, take some time to really think about it.. what do you think about or what comes to mind when you think about the healthiest version of YOU?

Dive in to todays episode to learn more about compassion fatigue and hear the TANGIBLE TOOLS you can use to help you thrive as a nurse and get your energy back while STILL caring for others.

When you should all over yourself-- you create conflict WITHIN. Your internal environment craves boundary setting & value driven action that respects you & your energy. While your external environment is running on overdrive because you are putting unneeded pressure on yourself. “Shoulding” all over yourself leads to feeling guilty and overwhelmed which breeds inaction and stagnancy, so the more you feel like you “should” do something, the less likely you’ll actually do it.

So just because you CAN, doesn’t mean you should. Get clear on what your values & boundaries are and how to become more energetically aligned with the things you do. 

Maybe what you need instead is to give yourself permission to slow down, permission to rest, permission to show up less in some areas so you can show up MORE for yourself.

Taking the time to LISTEN to what others have to share

After todays episode I challenge you to go out and DO one thing in the next 4-6 weeks that you always have wanted to do. Maybe its a trip, meeting up with a new person, launching a new podcast/biz idea, going on a solo date night or something in between and make it HAPPEN. Don’t just think about it, don’t just say I “should” but make a PLAN.

So you want to be/do something different? You have to learn to change your thoughts, first. In todays episode we are talking about how self-identity is shaped, how it drives our actions and is a direct reflection of how healthy/wealthy your internal environment is. Because humans are & act consistent with the way they see the world. Today we cover both the victim mindset AND comparison aka two places where the self-identity that you want to hold, get lost.
