    How to Become the Subject of Your Own Life

    This episode first aired on January 9, 2023.One of the many drawbacks of being a woman with human giver syndrome (Burnout 2020) is that we so often become an object in our lives instead the subject of it. In other words, we feel powerless to effect change and start to become more and more resigned to the life we have even when it is not one that is bringing us joy and contentment. In order to change this, we first must change our approach. We must learn how to have agency. To be the doer of things in our lives and not the people that things are done to. Take a listen and learn more about this key component to designing the lives we want to be living.Burnout: The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle Paperback – March 26, 2019 by Emily Nagoski (Author), Amelia Nagoski (Author)Visit us at⁠ LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠ ⁠DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.
