Episode #204: Tools For High Performers To Combat Burnout

Join us today as Colleen Interview's Sam Kabert on Take the Leap. As a high-performance business owner turned certified breathwork practitioner, Sam has a wealth of knowledge on the importance of mental health, especially for those of us striving for success in our careers.

Here are three key takeaways from our enlightening conversation:

1. The Illusion of Success: Sam shared his journey from being named to Silicon Valley's 40 under 40 list at just 31 years old to realizing that external accolades do not equate to internal fulfillment. He emphasized that many high achievers often chase titles and financial success, only to find themselves feeling empty. This serves as a powerful reminder that true success is not just about what we achieve but how we feel in the process.
2. Breathwork as a Tool for Mental Clarity: We dove deep into the practice of breathwork and its transformative effects on mental health. Sam explained how breathwork can help us reconnect with our emotions and process them in real-time, rather than compartmentalizing them. He introduced a simple microdose breathwork exercise that can be done in just a few minutes. Allowing us to reset and gain clarity amidst our busy lives. This is a game-changer for anyone feeling overwhelmed!
3. Embracing Emotions: One of the most profound insights from our discussion was the idea that emotions are simply "energies in motion." Sam highlighted the importance of allowing ourselves to feel these emotions rather than suppressing them. By doing so, we can prevent them from becoming stored energy in our bodies, which can lead to burnout and stress. Embracing our feelings is a crucial step toward maintaining our mental health and overall well-being.
