Ep 15. Lessons from My Extended Sick Leave: What Helped Me Heal from Burnout and Chronic Migraine
Manage episode 489063103 series 3587902
Join me as I reflect on the five-year journey since I went on sick leave due to all of the physical and cognitive effects of burnout, and other chronic pain and symptoms. In this episode, I dive deep into the lessons learned about self-awareness, what was under my perfectionism, the forms of stress I didn't recognize, and the importance of self-compassion through it all. I share personal experiences about overcoming overwhelm, recognizing the mind-body connection, and the steps I took towards healing, including the significance of mindset and surrounding oneself with a supportive community. Whether you're dealing with migraines, burnout, or stress-related illness, I hope my story provides insight and encouragement for your own healing journey.
