You Are Not a Frog
I had a chat to the lovely Dr Rachel Morris last week on her fab podcast, You Are Not A Frog.
We discussed a topic close to my heart – the importance of Permission to Thrive.
This is central to me, as for years I didn’t give myself this permission, and ended up in fully fledged burnout.
I founded the Working Well Doctor to help others avoid the mistakes I made.
Do you feel guilty for taking a break, even if you know you need it?
Do you find you overlook your own needs as you are so used to putting the needs of others first?
Have you noticed some less-than-healthy habits creeping in?
If your answer is ‘Yes’ - you are not alone.
I made all these mistakes, and sometimes still do.
Rachel and I discuss these themes as part of my journey into, and out of, burnout.
Have a listen if you want to.
Discover the warning signs that you might be heading towards burnout.
Learn why it’s so challenging for some caring professionals to overcome perfectionism.
Learn how identifying your personal ‘red flags’ can be really helpful.
Think more about the reasons you may be adopting unhealthy habits.
