Healing Burnout, Overwhelm & Fatigue
Hi Bubb!!
How are you holding up? Collectively, I am hearing that so many of us are starting to really contract from the deep overwhelm that’s happening in the world. As you probably know there are a few ways to work with me: one to one coaching and group coaching being my top dogs. In my group coaching container, my clients recently expressed extreme overwhelm, burn out and deep fatigue. At the beginning of our group call, they were sharing fears that it didn’t feel feasible to focus on their growth, expansion, thriving and healing when they were so knocked off their center and stressed about the state of the world.
In perfect transparency, I too have had to really hunker down on the tools I teach. Because I have been teaching and coaching for so long, I celebrate that I have gotten to a place where the work feels like second nature, but in the last few months; I needed to prioritize my mental health game. For me, that looks like : being in community, regular calls with my coach, and adding pleasure and play into my mundane to help me regulate and soothe my nervous system.
Because of my creepy crawly perfectionist that likes to sneak in, I have had a tendency to over-give, over-deliver and push through. I knew that behavior wasn’t sustainable. So, I did something shocking (for me), I allowed myself to be imperfect and dare I say... "messy". The last 3 podcast episodes I have released are real, authentic and off script; I am allowing myself to share my deep truth and to be fully seen in that.
I needed a permission slip to be imperfect, to be in my truth and to speak from that place. In addition to the perfectionist permission slip, I needed a slip for more rest, self care, integration and soul nourishment. So, if you have had a hard time giving that to yourself, give me a quill and I will personally sign that bad boy for you. What permission do you need to give yourself to help you thrive? To rest? To integrate? What do you need? What does your body need? Your soul? How can you infuse more pleasure, play and softness into the chaotic days?
Living with full aliveness, confidence, outrageousness and being fierce in living a life you love is a huge component to my work. Not only can this work #changeyourlife and have you #manifestyourdreams but it also teaches your body and nervous system that you are capable of holding it ALL. I teach my clients the art of being able to handle anything. To not only celebrate and bring in the good, but also to know how to hold yourself deeply when things aren't rainbows and butterflies.
We weren’t taught how to celebrate and to hold the GOOD in our lives. We were told it was bad, selfish and wrong to hold and highlight what's going good and to push it away from a place of fear. But I am here to tell you that holding the good is the healing elixir we need. Sometimes focusing on the good and pleasure feels counter intuitive when the world is burning around us. That joy, desire and play is actually needed more than ever. Let me make this clear: we need to feel allll the injustices in the world, get a proper education on what’s happening and SHOW up for them: donate, protest, be active in the community...But the pleasure, the soul care is the BALM that keeps us going. Living from desire is what keeps us alive and open even when the world wants to shut us closed.
If there was anytime to do the work that I teach, the work of: deep self care, confidence, leading from love, creating a life you are obsessed with, pleasure and following your heart's desires…the time is now. To be a badass activist and change maker, you need to know how to fully support yourself. We are rewriting the story that it’s selfish to do things for you. I am here to tell you it’s absolutely needed. The more you know and nurture yourself= the more longevity and possibility for deep change.
