When asked “how are you”, most of us will answer “fine”. There isn’t necessarily anything wrong with that, unless it’s not true. Often “fine” is equated with “good”. But what if it’s just a form of settling for less than you want or could actually have? Not settling can be challenging, which is why many choose that path. Coach, speaker and podcaster Karsta Marie Hurd is here to address this badge of “fine” and reveal ways to move past it.

For many, this time of year can be really stressful. And that’s even without a pandemic. Instead of feeling joyous and full of good cheer, you may be feeling anxious instead. Oh, you might put a smile on your face and commit to following all the usual traditions, but you’re already exhausted by overwhelm. And overly focusing on making everyone’s holidays happy whether they, or you, like it or not will only make it worse. The fact is we bring most of this stress on ourselves. The good news is that you have the power to make it go away.

Busy is the new badge of honor. But overdoing it often leads to burnout. And, if you’re burned out, all areas of your life will suffer.

Your health—physical, emotional, and mental—will all be impacted. Executive Life Coach Lee Marinaki explains burnout, its impact, and, most importantly, how to deal with it.

Well, that’s just what Dr. Dravon James, a Transformation Specialist, inspirational speaker, radio host, life coach, author of Freedom is Your Birthright, and Founder of the Next Step Leadership Academy reveals in today’s show.
