1. My Story: Choosing To Heal from Burnout & People Pleasing

Welcome to the very first episode of the Choosing to Heal
podcast!

In today’s episode, I want to share a personal story from the
very beginning of my healing journey. It is about being at the
height of my career, yet feeling overwhelmed, burnt out and
scared to let other people down.

By learning how to overcome burnout and being a chronic people
pleaser, I learned the importance of setting boundaries and where
I drew my identity and worth from.

In this episode, I hope to empower you to say no, to not burn the
candle at both ends, and to prioritize what truly matters.

Make sure to listen to Episode 2 for Part 2 of my story: Choosing
To Heal from Betrayal Trauma.

In this episode we cover:


My personal journey from burnout and being a chronic people
pleaser to learning the importance of setting boundaries

How at the height of my career success, I was at my lowest

Where the desire to people please stems and originates from

The negative consequences of seeking external validation and
having poor boundaries

The importance of maintaining work-life balance, setting
healthy boundaries, and putting family first

The power of vulnerability, and how opening up about personal
struggles can lead to greater connection and influence with
others

How difficult seasons can be bittersweet, as they can lead to
valuable life lessons and personal growth



It is possible to go from burnout to boundaries by learning the
skills to manage the urge to people please and control
everything. It’s about accepting what we can control and letting
go of what we cannot. Join me on this incredible journey of
personal growth, resilience, and self-discovery as we explore the
power of choosing to heal.
