For so many working women life is full and they think it’s just the way it has to be. The way you feel you put down to normal tiredness and busyness; things that everyone has to put up with - right? For our guest today she wasn’t someone who felt stress but she knew her life was super busy and demanding. As a deputy-headteacher in a primary school she carried a lot of responsibility, but she was doing a job she loved and had ambition to move up into a head role. So she kept going. Lindsey Fekete missed the signs that the way she felt wasn’t simply because she worked in a demanding environment and carried responsibility in and out of the workplace. Lindsey joins us today to share her story of hitting burnout and what she’s learned about managing her health after overhauling her entire career and lifestyle to now feel she has a more balanced life. During our chat today we share: The importance of self-awareness to help you know what you need to feel healthy and well. How burnout can show up and why the signals are often missed. The pressure women are putting on themselves to keep going. How Lindsey has made changes to have better balance across her life. What to do if you feel stuck in your life and are worried about hitting burnout. Understanding your health and menopause are key to have better awareness about what is changing and then give yourself the right support. Getting started with making changes if you’re feeling stressed or overwhelmed. The power that comes when you have clarity in what matters to you and take steps to live intentionally. Why having self-compassion is absolutely key to happiness.
