Or Are You About To Burn Out?
In this episode I go through the six signs that you are burning out or already burned out. As the changes occur over time, sometimes a long time, we donât realise we are burning out.
The 6 areas which I see often with people who are burned out are:
Motivation and passion for things which are one point were important, take a nose-dive Are you or are you becoming moody and irritable? Have you started to disconnect from people, your work, the world? Are thoughts overflowing in your mind? Sleep disrupted??? Have you started to neglect YOU? Poor self-care?There are a couple of things you can start to do to help with getting you back to some level of normality. It will take time though. Just as burning out happens over time, dealing with the consequences will also take some time.

Food, food, food!
We need it. We canât live without it. Yet itâs also become a pain in our life. But hold on, itâs not really the food which makes it pain, but itâs our relationship with it.
My guest Ashley Messias (along with a friend) runs The Habit Society where they provide 3-minute newsletters every Monday morning with something you can do to make a difference in your life. Link is further down to sign up.
Ashley is a physiotherapist and a holistic nutritionist, and in this episode, we talk about the latter. Or rather, I pick Ashleyâs brain and knowledge when it comes to fasting, healthy eating and our relationship with food.
Like many of us, some of our journeys starts with a personal issue. Ashleyâs journey to better understanding food and then to becoming a nutritionist started with her own challenges with digesting food, which was later diagnosed as IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
In this episode we cover the fascinating topic of fasting, as well our relationship with food, and how we eat in todayâs world.
Thereâre a few surprises when it comes to fasting and losing weight, and just how we, as human, should be eating!

Clear Your Mind
There's a tonne of things you can do to help clear your mind.
From meditation, journaling, sitting in a calm environment, listening to music, or concentrating and focusing on just one thing in front of you or in the distance.
Our daily lives appear to be full of things to do. Things we could do. Things we want.
We are also constantly bombarded with more information from our surroundings, our devices, our work, and from family and friends.
At times, the mind overdoses with thoughts. Swirling around, popping up uninvited, and then disappearing again just as fast. Making us annoyed we canât remember the idea which popped up a few minutes again.
We also appear to have lost the ability to sit in peace. In a quiet place to slow down the racing thoughts. And then we go and make it so complicated when it comes to calming and clearing your mind.
There is simple solution you can put into practise!

Start moving your body to change your life and work!
One the foundations to living a full and vibrant life is to look after ourselves. I say there are three foundational pieces in living well â Sleep, Nutrition, and Movement (or exercise).
On this episode, my guest is LeAnn Smith from Seattle in the USA.
As we started talking, we ended up with a mini episode within the episode! Asking LeAnn how she got into Yoga and the wellness world led us to talk about transitioning from the corporate world to working for yourself.
This turned into a mini episode on what you can do to start a side-gig as you still work your main job! We share some lessons we learned as we made our transition to working for ourselves. Hope itâs helpful.
Anyhow, back to the main topic of this episode.
As a society we spend less time moving than we did a few decades ago and certainly far less than 100 years ago. We discuss how are humans designed when it comes to having sedentary lives. You already know the answer â we are designed to move. So, our current life styles and also work styles is getting in the way of our natural requirement to move or exercise.
We discuss, what it means and what you can do to get started in making a change and start adding movement and exercise as part of you each day.
LeAnn works with clients that are âstuckâ in their wellness journey either by injury, illness, disease or otherwise. Her motto is, âwelcome home, your vibrant self awaits.â
With over fourteen years of corporate Human Resources experience, she brings a wealth of corporate, organizational knowledge and understanding.
She is a Yoga teacher, a personal trainer, and a Health and Nutritional coach.

Leaders and leadership in uncertain times.
A little different to the usual episodes but one useful (I hope) to all you leaders out there. How are you finding the current environment and world? What does it mean to be a leader in current times?
I am with John Holmes, Director of Frontline Training Solutions. John is a trainer and has worked with companies across Europe as well some of the large institutions including Central Banks, Regulators, NATO, and the UN.
John runs an International Leadership & Management Skills programme working with leaders across industries and institutions.
I got the opportunity to talk about leadership and leaders in our current and uncertain times. What challenges leaders are facing and what are some of the things they can do to navigate the uncertainties.
One thing which sticks out for me from our conversation was when John said, âas a leader it isnât about people trusting you, itâs if you make them feel safeâ! A perspective I support.
I mention documentary âStress â Portrait of a Killerâ with Robert Sapolsky which is worth watching. You can find here on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cdW0-ilOeXY
Grab a coffee and listen in.

Quick follow up episode on visualisation
I got a great question after I posted the visualisation episode a few days ago.
Itâs about how you see yourself in the visualisation. Should it be as an observer (third person), or in the first person as you would in real life.
Hopefully this gives some clarification.

Many of us will have had a panic attack and moments of anxiety. We learn to deal with these odd occasions. But what if you suffer more than the odd instance?
My guest Wendy Tamis-Robbins shares her story of she has dealt with anxiety for most of her life. The first time she noticed her panic attack was when she was six years old.
Wendy speaks about how the anxiety started, how it brought her to the point of calling a suicide helpline, and how she now shares her approach to dealing and managing anxiety.
Wendy has put her experience in her book â The Box, An Invitation to Freedom From Anxiety. She also gives talks to companies, educational institutions, and groups who want to learn more about helping people with anxiety.
And she runs her 3R program to help others.
Listening to Wendy and others who share their experience with anxiety, you realise you are not alone. There many who deal with the condition, and most of the time you would never know if you spoke to them.
Reach out to family, friends, and colleagues because you may just be the person who provides a space to help someone.
