What Would Cait Say

One client said it felt like she was spiritually constipated and it finally let go. There's something to be said for owning all parts of yourself, for taking responsibility, for being human and recognizing it. It helps prevent burnout because you aren't wasting energy hiding or covering the bits of yourself that you don't like. Free some energy, listen to this podcast.

Tracy Durrant, Business and Lifestyle Coach, Author and Speaker is my guest this week. Tracy wrote the book: Plan It Now: Quit the burnout business and become a creative entrepreneur. Tracy is perfect amounts manifestor and pragmatic. In her book, she'll guide you through how to create an organized vision board to keep you on track in your business and keep you away from Burnout. http://bit.ly/10daybizplan

Saying "I'm burnt out" is so popular now, it's hard to distinguish who means it 'literally'. This is especially hard because the science behind it isn't clear. I think we need to clarify it, especially by combining both the emotional and physical components of burnout syndrome.

Mindset changes aren't always the answer. In this episode, Ewa Blaszczak and I talk about when you know how to make a change and whether that change needs to be from within or without. With all the focus on changing your mindset to shift your reality, we talk about how sometimes we need to actually shift your environment. If the environment is wrong, the environment is wrong. It's okay to replant yourself. 

When it comes to dealing with your burnout, you need to get honest FIRST. It can be hard to do that when you are having conversations that are disjointed and disconnected. In a world where coaching and therapy are such normal parts of life, this, to me is one of the reasons. The ability to normalize our situations and talk candidly about them makes them easier to shift and change. Dive in, this one will take you for a ride.

I've been obsessed with gut bacteria lately, and in this episode you'll find out why and get an overview of how and why gut bacteria means that you and Suzy can eat the same calories and do the same exercise and have different effects. Gut bacteria studies are all the rage right now and this is your intro!

This week, I invited Power Speaker, Mentor, CEO and Life and Business Coach Ewa Blaszczak, to share her thoughts on life's struggles and how we can help ourselves get out of our own way and get the lives we want, in part, by accepting struggle and pain.

New Years Resolutions don't work, so I do this instead. Last week, I gave you a review of how my 2018 word of the year, Authenticity, went. This week, I run down through my set of questions that I use to choose a focus for the year and answer them for you. Let it guide you through choosing your own focus if you haven't yet and then let me know what your word is, make it more powerful by sharing it with people!

Last year, around this time, I wrote to you about choosing a word of the year, a focus for personal growth instead of the typical New Year's Resolution type stuff. I choose the word Authenticity and I found it harder than I expected. It turns out that tuning out all the bullshit is, well, hard.

Anger is a great emotion if you know how to use it, transform it, and let it go. It's an amazing tool for judging where your boundaries are and learning how to reinforce them. There's a special exercise in here to help YOU transform anger, especially helpful at this time of year ;)
