Episode 39 - Prepare and Prevent with Guest Michelle Perry

In episode 39, Michelle Perry explains how burnout really looked like being overwhelmed and unsure and not having the vocabulary to describe it. The move to corporate America was a reprieve from the overwhelming world of social work and poor health and being overweight and not knowing what to do with any of it.  When she started to tell herself the truth about how she treated herself and what she believed about herself, then she also began to understand where she came from and where she was going and knew better how to prevent another season of burnout coming.  Because she grew up in a culture of serving others, she had to also understand that she needed to serve herself, too, in order to serve others to the best capacity.     Prevention of burnout is key.  Feeling tension, irritability, checking out of reality are all red flags that burnout is on its way. Preparing and preventing burnout are best accomplished with cultivating a lifestyle of gratitude.  Sometimes that gratitude starts with just being alive and then you start paying attention to the things that are going well and that will help you develop a lifestyle of thankfulness.  What you pay attention to is what happens to you.     Michelle L. Perry established herself as a subject matter expert over the course of her career as a clinical social worker in the field of child welfare that spanned over 20 years. She then transitioned into the corporate world where her leadership, training, and coaching skills were refined, producing results in all that she works with. As an Awareness Coach/Consultant/Strategist, Podcast Host, Speaker, International Best-Selling Author, and Online Course Creator, Michelle contributes to the journey of others by equipping and supporting them to see results, and experience an increase in confidence and momentum in their lives.   Website: https://www.successfuldiligence.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/successfuldiligence/ and Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shelmy_life/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/successfuldiligence Linktree: https://linktr.ee/shelmy_life   Our Recovery Moment in this show is focused on having more mindful mornings   If you enjoyed this show make sure to subscribe and leave a review.  Ready to start your own journey to Burnout Recovery?
