Frazzled The Podcast

Is holding back causing you more stress?

Is forcing yourself to try and rest and recover and reset whilst you still have everything buzzing around in your head causing you more worry than calm and more chaos on your head than quiet?

I get it.

And I found a way through it.

That's what I'm discussing in this latest episode of FRAZZLED

Not as in a car, but mentally and emotionally, I almost crashed.

I'd been doing really well, taking care of myself, prioritising, sticking to my non-negotiables, and then something happened that I hadn't planned for, my sleep went out the window, and I began to crash and spiral.

How did I catch it in time?

And what did I learn?

That's this week episode of FRAZZLED

Are you dressed for success or just trying to cover up the fact that you're running on empty?

Are you putting on the mask each day to try and hide just how tired, exhausted and stressed you feel?

Or are you masking being on the brink of Burnout?

I'm sharing in this episode of FRAZZLED how I hid behind the outfits just to show I had it all together, when the reality was very different.

Addictions can be all consuming, damaging, and feel impossible to break free from.

Addictions take hold, and nothing else seems to matter.

Being addicted to work may seem like an exaggeration, but it becomes all to real the closer we get to Burnout.

And if we can spot the signs early enough, perhaps we can avoid Burnout.

I'm talking about a work addiction is this latest episode of FRAZZLED

If like me you're a doer, an all or nothinger, and an over achiever that works at 10,000 miles an hour, rest probably feels like 'do nothing'.

And how do you 'do nothing' as a doer?

In this episode of FRAZZLED I'm talking about how as doer's we can rethink rest in a way that benefits us and allows us to restore our energy in the best possible way to help us to avoid and prevent Burnout

Do you find yourself feeling like you need to earn your time off?

Are you working twice or three times as much before you go off on leave?

What if, and I'm still learning this with you all, we could just give ourselves to take the time off, no guilt, no working twice as hard, no feeling like we need to earn it?

What could be different?

Not all stress is bad for you, you need certain levels of stress to get you out of bed each morning, to help you achieve your goals, and to help you reach the finish line.

But what do you do when your stress moves from healthy to unhealthy, into the chronic stress zone, and moves toward Burnout?

I'm talking about the good stress, and the bad, in this latest episode of FRAZZLED.

"So we need to deal with Burnout and menopause now?!?"

Err, yes.

The two are not mutually exclusive.

One is preventable.

Both are key to ensuring your people stay happy, healthy, and high-performing.

And yes, I know, you're just in business to make money, you haven't got time for all of this people stuff.

But here's the thing, without the people stuff, you have no people.

No people, no business.

No business, no money.

So Burnout isn't just a thing, it's the measure of everything you do, and the outcome when things go wrong.

Something is wrong.

The number of appointments, sessions, training, conversations, meetings, and calls being cancelled, often at the last minute, and sometimes without even an apology is a sign of something underlying.

The stress that everyone is under, and the pressure that everyone is feeling.

It needs to change.

You cannot keep this cycle going, it needs to be broken, and quickly. I

'm not saying you shouldn't prioritise yourself, your family, your needs.

But I'll place a bet that says most of your reasons for cancelling are because of 'urgent' things, that wouldn't have been urgent if they'd been dealt with sooner.

You need to let the stress go.

Burnout does weird stuff to your brain.

I thought I was fully recovered, I'm not.

Perhaps not even close.

But I am doing a lot better than I was last year, and definitely the year before that.

So progress is progress, but I know I think differently than I used to.

I react differently.

And for the most part, I'm ok, but the overwhelm and freeze response, still catches me off guard.

The impact of Burnout on how we think is something we need to be talking more about, and this episode of FRAZZLED is a step in the right direction.
