Welcome to the SELF.STYLED.LIFE Podcast with Janelle Wehsack
Today’s episode is all about burnout. We talk about how to recognise that you might be burned out and what to do if you are.
Because often, when people think of burnout, they imagine it involves some spectacular sort of fiery crash. Like a plane or star falling from the sky or how we might read about an influencer crashing and burning in a celebrity gossip magazine. And sometimes this is the case - a woman will be flying high, seemingly doing all of the things, and then she suddenly crashes in a dramatic way, not to be heard of again for months and months. Those around her nod knowingly at each other and mutter words like ‘well with everything she had going on, she was probably always headed for burnout’.
The thing is though, I rarely see burnout show up like that in my clients or my colleagues. Complete meltdowns happen way less often than we might think. Burnout is far more likely to show up in far more subtle ways. Ways that are so subtle that even the women experiencing them aren’t 100 percent certain that they’re actually suffering from burnout. And that’s where burnout can be particularly problematic. Because let’s face it. Burnout has never been a hallmark of any sort of fabulousness. Rather, it tends to be the reason that women find themselves in the middle of a marriage breakdown or a health crisis. And it’s driven many women to step away from careers, hobbies or volunteer activities they love. Which is precisely why knowing what some of the signs of burnout are, so that you can be on the lookout for them, and make adjustments before things get completely out of hand.
