Yes, our specialized work is physically demanding, but it is just as emotionally demanding; add the daily world crises, and you have BURN OUT.

So what do we do to support ourselves and our crew and being lost at sea from this new burnout epidemic? Listen now…

My SOS Podcast is themed for the beach and the boating and sailing life, and finally, I was able to do a remote episode from the beach today!

Of course, I was in vacation mode, which allowed me to focus on my whole life and not just business, so I thought this was the perfect time to update my balance wheel and see where my life was aligned with my goals.

So, where was I on the Balance Wheel with work- career, relationships, spirituality, family, friends, finance, health, and community? Listen now… If you want to download your own SOS Balance Wheel, click here!

Are you feeling lost, overwhelmed, or irrelevant? I know I am; after the last few years and now getting back into life and live events, am I on the right course?

I don't have all the answers for this, but I can tell you the SOS Formula for that internal and external review. First, Stop… Oxygenate (breath) and Seek solutions or a new direction when you have had time to remove yourself (as much as you can) from what you are doing. If the definition of insanity is too accurate for you, you know, "doing things the same way and expecting different results," then listen up today to a few things that can reduce anxiety and allow yourself time to reconnect with yourself.

As I state in my business brand statement. "Connecting you to you so you can confidently connect with others."
