[Repost] #117: How to recover from BURNOUT with Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski

These times are truly unprecedented. For the past month I have
been allowing myself to be human, showing up for my family, my
clients (many hospital workers, displaced students, and parents
turned home schoolers, many with disordered eating and anxiety
exacerbated by the social distancing required).


 


I have been asking Body Kindness book readers and podcast
listeners about ways (if anything) I can uniquely contribute to
our collective well-being during this pandemic. Mostly, everyone
needed permission for things to change, and time to adjust. We
are still in this phase of the journey. It’s ok to be here. (We
need all the self compassion we can muster now)


 


Many questions have been posed to me in my free Body Kindness
Facebook group and I want to share them with anyone who needs it.
Over the next few weeks I’ll be emailing questions, responses,
and useful resources for people who are interested in the ways
the practice of body kindness can help ground you, lift you up,
connect you to others, and avoid burnout. You can get these
emails for free at BodyKindnessBook.com/start along with a free
virtual introduction to body kindness and a free book club.


 


On the podcast I’ll be re-sharing some of the episodes I think
will be most helpful for you at this difficult and painful time.

Burnout is the stress resilience book I’m recommending to
friends and clients from now on. This two-part podcast series
with Emily and Amelia Nagoski will explain why. We all have
stress, but we aren’t all completing the stress cycle, which
can have real health consequences. Learn about “human giver
syndrome”  and why the opposite is not “taker syndrome”—
which is what I used to think. Find out how the patriarchy...
ughhhh plays a role in women’s burnout.


Emily Nagoski, Ph.D., is a sex educator and author of Come As
You Are: The surprising new science that will transform your
sex life. Her job is to travel all over the world, training
therapists, medical professionals, college students, and the
general public about the science of women’s sexual wellbeing.


Amelia Nagoski, D.M.A. (it stands for Doctorate of Musical
Arts), is Assistant Professor and Coordinator of Music at
Western New England University. Her job is to run around waving
her arms and making funny noises and generally doing whatever
it takes to help singers get in touch with their internal
experience.
