When I first heard about Jimmy Doyle, living in Bali, a student of Louise Hay, I had images of a sage, polished and esteemed speaker, luxury besuited, and smooth as heck.

What I saw when I got on my first call with him was quite different. He is the real deal - a warm and personable Aussie surfer, with over 40 years of body-mind therapy experience.

I was thrilled to get to know the man behind the story in this conversation. Jimmy shared generously about:

⚡️ Such a buzzword, a giant cliché, the word 'burnout' seems like it's everywhere... BECAUSE BURNOUT IS EVERYWHERE!

It's no secret that the world asks a lot of us, so let's talk about that, dissect it and speak to the antidotes, rather than simply the bandaids. 

Highlights: 

Introduction and Purpose: Stepping into your full potential, finding joy, aligning with life purpose, and creating deeper connections.

Isolation and Disconnection: How failing to meet your too-high standards can be emotionally crippling.

Self Doubt: How it can hinder personal growth and fulfilment.

Empowerment and Self-Love: Surrender and acceptance are crucial steps to overcoming feelings of inadequacy.

Role of Relationships and Parenting: Healthy relationships, parenting, and aligning with one's purpose counteract isolation and disconnection.

Health and Communication: Addressing fundamental needs, holistic health, and clear communication are crucial in overcoming burnout and depletion.
