#83 Recognizing Burnout, Building Mental Resilience, and Embracing Lasting Success with Lisa Hammett

Welcome to another insightful episode of Thinking That Matters. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to someone who has not only been a professional acquaintance but also a longtime friend, Lisa Hammett.   Lisa is a powerhouse- a certified Positive Intelligence (PQ) coach, a mental fitness expert, a transformational speaker, and an author of a bestseller that’s changing lives.  In this episode, Lisa opens up about her transition from the corporate world, where she experienced severe burnout, to becoming an inspiring figure in the field of mental fitness and well-being. We dive deep into the clues that led her to recognize burnout—like sleepless nights, chronic migraines, and even depression—and how ignoring these signs took a toll on her life. Lisa’s candid recount of her wake-up call and how it led her to leave a 26-year career without an exit strategy is a powerful reminder of the cost we pay when we push ourselves too far. She also shares practical tips and techniques that have not only helped her reclaim her life but also shaped the message in her book, which is all about going from burnout to living your best life. We discuss her shift from the direct sales industry to starting her own coaching business during the pandemic, a move that was both challenging and transformative. And we talk about the fear of success—a surprising hurdle that Lisa had to overcome, even as she was building her business and writing her book.   Key takeaways from our conversation: Recognizing the early signs of burnout and the importance of addressing them before they escalate. The power of mindset in overcoming personal and professional challenges. Practical techniques from Lisa’s book that you can apply to improve your mental fitness.
