Theresa and Ivana: Overcoming Burnout


Listen Later

In this episode, Theresa and Ivana discussed:

  • Four research-backed strategies to prevent and manage burnout
  • The physical, emotional, and mental symptoms of burnout and the importance of addressing them
  • Tips on how to have quality self-care 
  • Helping others and yourself overcome burnout 


Key Takeaways:

  • According to Johns Hopkins, the four things that we can practice to prevent and manage burnout are the following: First is exercise. Second is having a good amount and a good quality of sleep. The third is to seek out happiness or make time for what makes you happy. The fourth and final one on their list is social support. 
  • Women carry unique responsibilities that make them more prone to burnout. Menopause and taking care of children for example can cause one to lose a lot of sleep. People who take care of a lot of things should take time to take care of themselves, in order for them to increase their capacity to keep on serving and leading in their lives. 
  • In order to have quality self-care, one must consider internal and external restoration. Go on a vacation, and while on vacation, set good boundaries for yourself. Focus on the moment and make sure that your soul is being fed by the pause. 
  • Help yourself and others overcome burnout by opening up to a group. Be vulnerable and be honest with what you are feeling and listen without judgment. Be mindful of your inner thoughts, and give yourself healthy, positive, life-giving words.
