FRAZZLED

Last week I asked for therapist recommendations and I was amazed at how many recommendations I received that weren't for what I asked for. Nor did they meet the requirements. And so many crossed the lines between coaching and therapy I was left speechless, then angry.

Where is the line?

And how do we bridge the gap between what's needed, and what coaches have the skills for?

I'm ranting about this and more in this week's episode of FRAZZLED.

The team and I have been collecting ALL of the questions I keep being asked, and we have a pile of post it notes, of all different colours, so today, I'm beginning to work through the questions, in no particular order, to answer some of what you keep asking.

So this week, is a FRAZZLED free episode, full of post it notes, and hopefully answers.

Enjoy.

This week is my one year anniversary since my surgery, which means, yes, it's true, it's also one whole year living pain free!

And I cannot even begin to tell you how that feels. Actually, yes, yes I can, it's what this episode of FRAZZLED is all about.

It's not been a perfect year by any stretch of the imagination, life is lifing, still, but, I'm here, I'm pain free, and, I am doing my very best, every single day.

I'm also enjoying getting to know who I am, now I'm not in constant pain every single day.

I LOVE to see people succeed, I love honesty and integrity, and supporting others, and being a cheerleader, and I also love the truth and the messy middle.

And I've shared with you before how I feel about the fraudsters and the fakes, and we're doing it again today.

Somehow, coaching has become a money making machine, rather than a space of growth, and safety. When did it become a 'dirty word' to say you coach one to one? When did we stop seeing coaching as a powerful tool, and start saying training courses are coaching?

Burnout has become a catch all for everything.

Coaching has become a catch all for everything.

So put burnout and coaching together, and somehow burnout coaching is resilience training, and nobody is making any progress.

I'm talking about this and more in today's episode of FRAZZLED.

See you again next week

Isn't it amazing how one message can be received so differently.

There's a quote somewhere isn't there that says something about people don't hear what you say, they hear what they want to hear, and this week's episode relates to this.

Last week I shared some of my currently reality, and it got a lot of different responses. Some well wishes, and some are you ok's, and some replies to 'should I keep this solo?' and some lovely welcome back messages.

I also got some, you need to get grip of yourself and your business, messages, and you need to outsource more messages, and some give me six months and I'll turn your business around messages.

And I'll take and receive all the messages, thank you. I do truly appreciate the feedback. But, sometimes, we're just allowed to say 'it's a lot' and to be heard.

So I'm talking about this, and more, in today's episode.

See you again next week

The expert told her she needed to post 11 times a day on Instagram if she wants to grow her business, and this is before they start working on TikTok next month. And when we sat and had a chat about it, she's getting no business from Instagram, never has done and she's already making more than she needs.

When did 11 posts on one social media platform a day become great business sense? Especially when you're not a full time content creator? And why are we using platforms that we know are adding to noise, and toxicity, causing us to lose ourselves, and leaving us FRAZZLED, and this is before we even get to burnout?

In this episode I'm talking about values, 'experts' and why I'm choosing my life, my way, now I'm no longer living in constant survival mode and my body is feeling calmer.

Work hard, play hard right?

If you want to build a business, we're told to keep showing up, stay visible, put the hours, work for less than minimum wage as a founder, because taking a salary would be frowned upon, and if we want our business to grow, we need to be everywhere. All of the social platforms, on all of the stages, in all of the rooms, speaking to all of the people, in the press, on podcasts and blogs, and in places you've never even thought of.

Hustle harder and your business will grow. And if you don't hustle harder, it's a hobby not a business, and that's not what success looks like right?

What if, slow and steady, is exactly the right way to create success - whatever your definition of success is? And what if we ignore everyone who's out there telling us how crap we are, which let's face it, is leaving us all FRAZZLED, and we just choose to go slow instead?

If cardio pushes my body into fight and flight survival mode, how am I expecting to run a marathon?

I used to love a Spinning Class and a bootcamp, but after burnout my body stopped enjoying it so much, and the sensations I used to get in my body, and the way my mind would race, would mirror how I felt as I was nearing burnout.

I've talked about this a lot. So it was no surprise really that one of the Master Burnout Coaches in training wanted to know how training for the marathon was impacting my body, and whether it was having the same impact.

I'm talking about this and more in this episode of FRAZZLED, my uncut, unscripted, unedited podcast talking all things burnout.

You can know how to avoid burnout, you can be doing everything to avoid burnout, and you can still be exhausted and running on empty as a result of broken systems, and having to fight for what are just basic rights.

I'm feeling this right now. And I know many of you are too.

Systems are broken, people are exhausted, and the knock on effects, for some, are life changing, life altering and life critical.

I thought long and hard about this week's episode and whether I should have recorded something more upbeat and positive, but I always promised you raw, unedited and uncut - so here it is.

I'm FRAZZLED from the constant fight and I know many of you are too. So if nothing else, I hope we can all feel a little less alone, and a little more seen in this week's episode.
