Give Yourself Some Grace
"Do what you love and you’ll never work a day in your life." This has always been one of my all time favorite quotes because in my experience, life always felt way more rewarding and way less stressful when I was operating from a place of fun and purpose.
But I've had moments this year when I've experienced the feeling of stress and burnout despite doing work that I love, and despite being surrounded by great people. And with everything that has happened in 2020, my guess is that you have experienced something like this too!
In this episode I discuss a recent experience with burnout and how frustrated I was at not being able to give 100% to my work and passions. It even had me questioning whether I was truly passionate about those things in the first place! But, what I learned was that you can't expect yourself to perform at 100%, 100% of the time. And sometimes it's even ok to be at 50%.
In a time when it's so easy to compare yourself to your friends, your peers or people you follow online, I believe that finding a balance between ambition and grace can be a good starting point to managing the risk of burnout, that has had a negative impact on so many.
About this podcast
Growing up I used to believe that my story would always hold me back. But over time I've come to realise that even when your story feels like a burden it can turn out to be a blessing for someone else.
It doesn't matter where you come from or where you find yourself today - we all have a story! My goal with this Podcast is to help you OWN YOUR STORY and find your voice so you can live a life of impact, influence and inspiration.
