Welcome to another episode of the Motherkind podcast. As mothers, we’ve held a lot this past year. I hear almost every day stories of you feeling exhausted, low of energy, and burnt out.
My guest this week, Selina Barker, says that we don’t need to accept that as our status quo and we have so much more power to change how we feel than we think we do.
She says that learning to manage her own energy, now means that she feels calmer, more grounded, and more energised than even before her pre-child self. And that’s what this episode can offer you too.
This episode is full of practical tools and ideas. It’s quite a big promise but I do believe that if you put into practice at least 1 or 2 of the suggestions that Selina shares you will experience a difference.
My invitation to you, then, is to actually apply what you learn from this episode and let me know how you get on.
We talk about:
-
How does someone know the difference between feeling burnt-out vs knackered
-
Who her book Burnt Out is for
-
What got Selina fired up about burn-out
-
How to break the burn-out cycle
-
How managing your energy unleashes your best work
-
Loads of tips and tools to recharge your batteries
The more we accept something, the more we normalise it, and the less we try to do something about it.
