Talking Burnout and Menopause with Shannon Swales on the Queen Be Podcast

In this episode of the Queen Be Rising podcast, we are joined by clinical psychologist Shannon Swales to explore burnout, psychological flexibility, and the importance of community support for women, especially during midlife. Shannon shares her personal journey through burnout, and the need for self-compassion and the balance of both our masculine and feminine energies. Together, we discuss the significance of acknowledging emotions, particularly anger, as a message for change and the role of compassion in healing. If you take nothing else from this episode, always remember the importance of community and connection in navigating life's challenges, particularly for women experiencing burnout and perimenopause.If you’d like to explore Shannon’s work, you can find Australia-wide online therapy, the Midlife Reclaimed community and podcast, and her memoir Nothing Left to Give on her site. And if this episode comforted you, share it with a friend who’s been holding too much for too long — because we rise more gently when we rise together.Website: shannonaswales.comAnd check out our Reset and Reconnect self paced program: https://queenberising.com.au/reset-reconnect/
