26: My Painful Lessons from Burnout

Towards the end of 2018 I finally consciously acknowledged that I was in a state of mental, physical and emotional burnout. I didn't state it publicly at the time. To be honest I was a little embarrassed. I was struggling with the fact that I was someone who prided themselves with my ability to eat well, exercise, run 2 businesses, take care of 3 kids etc etc. And I had positive thinking down to a fine art.... Which turned out to be half the problem. You see, I was so good at making myself think I was OK, that I didn't realise how much I was suffering internally. And when I finally acknowledged it, I had no idea just how long and painful the journey to health and happiness would be. 

I started this podcast in April of 2019, approximately 6 months after recognising the trouble I was in. Fast forward another 9 months and the learnings have been dramatic. I wanted to share them with you today, in the hope they help you to better connect and feel the joy life has to offer.
