Send us Fan MailHello friend! This week we are talking about burn out (which unfortunately happens in both work and life). Some women are naturally more prone to experiencing this---they tend to be the Type A, high achieving, driven kind..Burnout can feel like being super tired and exhausted all the time. Wanting to 'check out' and just zone out on Netflix or social media. You might find you are less motivated to do stuff in your business, around the house, and even for yourself. Things you once enjoyed can feel like such a burden. It's almost like life feels so overwhelming, you just shut down: mentally, emotionally, physically. As a natural born 'doer' and highly ambitious woman I used to work myself until I reached this point. And, as you'll see so did our guest, Maria Stoyadinova...until she learned there really is power in resting. It doesn't slow you down, but actually can be the missing ingredient for many women. More about Maria: I spent the vast majority of my life pushing myself to overachieve. And to do everything perfectly because, to me, any small misstep was equal to undoing years of hard work. I rarely felt like I was doing enough or was good enough and craved more and more of that external validation to make me feel OK about myself.I had a deep craving for more space, less pressure, and more rest for as long as I can remember, but I thought giving that to myself would mean undoing everything I’d accomplished and really just letting my life and myself go.
