The Twenty Something Podcast
Like many of us, my 20’s haven’t been plain sailing and at times I have felt completely lost, questioning my decisions and wondering if I’m on the right path. Don’t get me wrong, I still feel like this sometimes! On the flip side, they’ve been filled with huge highs - like many things, it’s been a journey that hasn’t been linear.
This is the podcast I needed when I was younger. When I was going through the ups and downs of navigating the wild roller coaster ride of my 20’s. I’ll be interviewing a whole range of people from entrepreneurs and life coaches, to marathon runners and people who have overcome addiction.
I want to Normalise our 20’s, and the years beyond. I want to make it relatable to you, so that you can take away something positive from it each week.
I’ll be showing you that it’s okay to feel lost and like you don’t know if you’re on the right path but that there’s always a way to change and to make your life what you want it to be.
The Twenty Something Podcast
#13 - Grace Williams - how to avoid burnout, manage stress and find purpose after loss.
After losing her mum and heading towards burnout from a career in law, Grace trained to become a health and nutrition coach, turning her loss into something positive.
In this episode we discuss Grace’s ‘unexpected’ 20’s as she describes them, from being on the corporate treadmill that lead to burnout, dealing with her own health issues, caring for both her parents through their cancer treatment before tragically losing her mum, leaving a successful law career to set up her own business and pursuing her passion of helping others.
We also dive into the topic of stress, understanding what stress is, why we feel it, how stress can be addictive, how physical, environmental and personal factors all play a part in it, how we can avoid burnout, the impact stress can have on our gut health, a step by step guide on what we can do to manage stress, and how we can all live a balanced life without having to sacrifice the things we enjoy.
This episode really inspired me, seeing how Grace turned her loss into something so incredible. It also taught me so much about the impact stress can have on my own health and what I can do to improve it!
I’d really appreciate it if you could rate this podcast and leave a review so we can keep bringing you your favourite guests! Thank you :)
