When Normal Isn't Possible

from The Balanced Badass Podcast® · host Tara Kermiet | Leadership Coach & Burnout Strategist

In today's shorter episode, I'm sharing some personal thoughts on dealing with the emotional weight of recent events, including a mass shooting close to home and the constant barrage of political noise. We get into the concept of emotional spillover, why you're feeling extra stressed at work, and how to create temporary normals to cope. Forget "business as usual"; let’s talk about giving yourself permission to be human, finding that balance, and bouncing back slowly when life gets heavy. Whether it's dealing with community grief or just trying to survive the daily stressors we all experience, I've got some tips to help you manage. Check out the detailed show notes (https://tarakermiet.com/podcast/) and leave your thoughts or questions about today's topic. Got something to say?
