RESONATE

Crying episodes, sweaty palms, nervous breakdowns, increasing cynicism towards her job… Christine Reffo had all the warning signs that she was burning out. But she ignored them. Until she could no longer deny that her lucrative, prestigious and fast-paced lifestyle working for a global Swiss bank was harming her health and wellbeing.

Christine says: “I was used to pushing and overriding my physical and emotional needs in order to get another very important need met… That is, external validation, praise and love through (my) performance at work”.  But she now knows that her worthiness is intrinsic and unshakeable, and she is guided by a new motto that is: “If it costs you your mental health, it is too expensive”. I couldn’t agree more. 

In this episode we discuss Christine’s decision to step away from corporate, her holistic healing journey and how we can live an abundant life, full of meaning, joy and freedom.

Have you ever paused to consider how much of your life is driven by fear? Fear of being judged. Fear of failure. Fear of not being good enough… But what if you could step through this fear and vulnerability in the knowledge that love and joy will be awaiting you when you do? 

Today’s guest is Dr Mary Quinlivan, who shares her starting over story: from the “wake up calls” of  severe insomnia, depression, anxiety and a car accident, to bravely leaving a lucrative & high-status profession, to pursue inner healing and a new professional venture: spiritual psychotherapy. 

We discuss spiritual awakening, what it takes to truly heal, how to let go of the need for external approval and listening to our inner wisdom.

Life, for all its wonders and joys, brings bumps and bruises, progressions, regressions and uncomfortable transitions and ‘middle bits’, those ruts that are so god-damned hard to get out of some times, anyone feel me? 

Starting over with Shannon is a place where we talk about the hard stuff in life, in order to find more of the good! We discuss fresh starts, new chapters, and of course life's inevitable changes and challenges, all in the name of experiencing greater JOY, MEANING, PEACE, and PURPOSE! 

Every Tuesday my guests and I will be bring you a different 'starting over' story - real stories which get into the heart of life’s challenges, but ones which show the opportunity for profound personal transformation that so often accompanies hardship!

But this isn’t dreary or dark. This is a place for inspirational and uplifting discussions which will motivate and empower you to make meaningful changes in your own life and the societies in which we live.
