#178 - Amelia Nagoski: Burnout

You’re tired. You’re deep in your soul, day in and day out, exhausted. In a world where everything is hard, the stress keeps on coming, and pushing is applauded while resting is punished, may we introduce you to Dr. Amelia Nagoski, D.M.A., co-author, with her sister Emily, of the New York Times bestselling Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle and the Burnout workbook.In this episode, we talk about: why “just relax” is useless advice, why burnout hits caregiving professions so hard, and what it really means to “do self-care” on a deep, functional level. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Drs. Amelia and Emily Nagoski changed our lives, the way we work with people, the way we view behavior consulting, and how we care for our pets. Wrapping up their impact on us in a short podcast description feels disingenuous, so instead, we’ll just say we hope this helps you too.TLDL (too long, didn’t listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ The stressor and the stress are separate things – You need to deal with the stress in your body, not just get away from the stressor. 2️⃣ Change comes from groups, not heroes – Taking turns, sharing the labor, is how we effect lasting change. 3️⃣ You matter – That’s it. That’s the takeaway.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.Amazon Affiliate StorefrontFind products we recommend at the Pet Harmony Amazon Storefront.As an Amazon Associate, Pet Harmony earns from qualifying purchases.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips📸 Instagram & Facebook: @petharmonytrainingPet Pros: relatable moments and support for your work with pets and their people📸 Instagram & TikTok: @petharmonypro📬 Sign up for our weekly newsletter: https://petharmonytraining.com/join/Subscribe & ReviewIf this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to subscribe and review.
