REEL COVERS

Dreading Monday?

Hi there, Reader... The number one question I get asked is this... "How can I stop dreading going to work on Monday?" - also known as the Sunday Scaries. If you're like me, then you know you didn't just wake up one day and start dreading work. It was likely a slow build-up of stress, that professionals refer to as burnout. But in order to STOP doing something - you have to START doing something, different. This is exactly why I created Back without Burnout - to give YOU the time and space to...

Why Bother? Energy

Hi Reader, If you're following along on IG, you know I had a moment sitting on the couch this week where I thought... "When I was deep in burnout...I didn't appreciate any of life's little moments". You can watch that reel here. I know I'm not alone in thinking this way, and a previous BWB client confirmed it. She actually said it better than I did, so I'll include her statement below (she gave permission). Why Bother? Energy... Since BWB, she is able to enjoy life again. She has shifted and...

decluttering {not just your pantry}

Hi Reader, "I don't have the time" - a phrase you often use when it comes to taking care of yourself. To be honest, it's a huge reason why I say self-care doesn't cure burnout. You can try a bath. Go get a massage. Take a Friday afternoon off. Go for a walk. But squeezing those things in when you can, or even worse...when you're already burnt out...isn't really solving the problem. I noticed this pattern after working with clients for over 4 years on burnout recovery. Those things won't stick...

she finally fixed this

Hey Reader, Raise your hand ✋ if you've ever worked with someone who didn't pull their own weight. You know the type - always "looking" busy, but producing nothing. Super common, right? Super frustrating also. When you're experiencing burnout, this only adds to your stress and frustration. Btw, did you know cynicism and resentment are symptoms of burnout? 😅 This particular stressor with coworkers is always a topic of discussion in Back without Burnout. We share our frustrations and then talk...

Spent my entire career doing this wrong

If you're anything like me, Reader... You're gonna want to save this one. For years, I ignored the warning signs that I was heading into full-blown burnout. My body? Not great. I had a 6-month-long migraine, felt lethargic, tired, and not even a structured gym routine could fix it. My Mind? Even worse. Self-doubt and lack of motivation to do...pretty much anything plagued me daily. My Work Ethic? Meh. Typically a go-getter...I was calling in sick constantly, procrastinating, and avoiding even...

I shouldn't have to...

Hi there, Reader... You can see it so clearly... You're sitting at work, and it pops up yet again. The lingering issue you KNOW could be solved if only (fill in your challenge) changed. But you shouldn't HAVE to - it's not your job, after all. It's that person's area of expertise... It's the company's problem... It's your manager's lack of... Recently, I had a baby (you may or may not know that). In a high-risk pregnancy, you would think the medical professionals are ON it. And for the most...

Productivity vs Guilt

Hi Reader, Imagine for a second... I just woke up, yet other members of my house have already gone to the gym, put away a load of dishes, and prepared breakfast. Finally, I sit down to eat with a cup of coffee while they run out the door to work before 7 a.m. It's quiet. I am alone. I too, have a full day of work ahead of me. I take a leisurely drink of my coffee and start back upstairs to get ready. Got the visual? After work, I go home. Alone, again. I take a minute to sit on the couch and...
