Burn Bright

This week I speak from my heart about what I have been experiencing the past few weeks and I recommit to this podcast and you!  

This is a special episode of the podcast featuring the guided relaxation from the last episode.  

Make sure you are in a comfortable seat or lying down somewhere quiet and safe.  Enjoy this relaxation before bed or whenever you are feeling overwhelmed and stressed.

This week is a special episode dedicated to women of color and inspired by this quote from Audre Lorde:

“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence, it is self-preservation, and that is an act of political warfare.”

This week we will talk about how to take care of ourselves in the face of collective pain and trauma and I will go over a guided relaxation (12:31-19:35) to help you find peace in troubling times.

This week's episode I discuss how to inject ease and gentleness into your self-care regime (2:02).

And then we discuss three ways to bring adventure, possibility, and joy into your life even during the most difficult times (10:50).

This week we talk about 5 ways to keep you grounding and breathing when the world has you all over the place (5:00).

Then we dig into the bonus letter of the ABC's of burnout prevention determination (17:23).  We discuss the book sponsor for the week Angela Duckworth's "Grit" and my favorite quote from the book (18:23).

Finally, we dig into three ways you can keep your determination and therefore keep burnout at bay(19:28-28:48).
