Episode 078: Showing Up When You’re Running on Empty

Feeling the weight of the year as December looms? You’re not alone! In this episode, we dive into the chaos, exhaustion, and all-too-familiar "blah" vibes that hit hard at the end of the year. David and Jackie get real about navigating burnout, from managing financial pressures to dealing with compassion fatigue and those pesky energy vampires in your schedule. We share tips on scheduling meaningful breaks, finding hobbies that spark joy, and sneaking in those little rewards that keep you going. Plus, we explore how to shake things up at work, refine your client list, and reconnect with your passion for what you do. Whether you’re struggling to keep up or just feeling a bit meh, this episode will remind you that it’s okay to prioritise yourself and have a little fun along the way. So grab a cuppa (or a glass of wine—perhaps not if you're driving), settle in, and let’s tackle that end-of-year slump together! ** Support the Show ** If you have gotten value from the show, consider sending a small token of appreciation our way: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://buymeacoffee.com/foldingtowelspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ *** Connect with Jackie and David *** Do you want to reach out to us? ⁠⁠⁠Head to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and fill in the contact form. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://foldingtowelspodcast.com.au⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Find us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠and ⁠⁠on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/FoldingTowelsPodcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/foldingtowels_podcast/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Theme Music: Simon Pettersson "All Alone" (2020), Licensed use through Audio Hero Inc
