97: {Interview} Understanding and Overcoming Burnout with Emily Johnson

Text me!Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed with life at the moment? We've all been there with different seasons of our life. Today I sit down with burnout & recovery coach Emily Johnson to discuss how exactly you can avoid and recover from burnout. In this conversation, Emily shares her journey from working in the alcohol industry to becoming a burnout coach. She discusses her personal experiences with burnout, the importance of understanding its causes, and offers strategies for prevention and recovery. Emily emphasizes the significance of self-awareness, lifestyle choices & the relationships we maintain in our lives. She provides valuable insights for high-achieving entrepreneurs on how to balance their ambitions with self-care & mental health.TakeawaysLifestyle choices, such as sleep and nutrition, impact burnout risk.It's important to listen to your body and recognize signs of burnout.Acceptance and self-compassion are vital in the recovery process.High achievers must prioritize rest as much as action.Nurturing oneself leads to better business outcomes.Early in her career, Emily worked in a very demanding industry. She climbed the corporate ladder, said yes to everything, ignored my body's signals, and was feeling very unfulfilled. She was lucky enough to tune into what my inner knowing was telling me and made major changes.​Emily went back to school to get my diploma as a Certified Holistic Nutritionist, something she would have never seen for herself in her corporate days. She did it for herself & her future. She fell in love with wellness, how small changes can make the biggest difference, and promised myself she would make this my career. ​In 2019 she burned myself out once again building my business, not setting boundaries, and not listening to her body. She started applying new practices to her routines, implementing mindfulness, and began managing her stress in a healthy way. ​She now coaches and support high-achieving women starting from the ground up who are looking to find a more enjoyable way of life.Her core beliefs lie in building a solid foundation of healthy habits through mindfulness, nutrition, movement, and work-life management.
