Welcome to the You Come podcast. I'm your host, Sarah Jolly Jarvis, and today I am joined by the very lovely Jen Wilson, and she's going to introduce herself in just a moment. We're going to be talking around overwhelm and the kind of busy being busy society that we tend to find ourselves in. So Jen, over to you to start off with. Please introduce yourself to us.
Hello, I'm Jen, and I help women who are overwhelmed and burnt out to get organised, take back control and start living a joyful, happy life again.
And then that's the kind of crux of it, isn't it? Is it actually fun? Are you actually happy and enjoying life when you are running around, feeling overwhelmed, feeling super busy? And I think when we really search for it, most of us are like, no, it's actually not. It's not that nice. It's not that fun.
No, it's not fun at all.
So Jen, tell us a little bit about what got you into this.
My own personal experience, I was chronically stressed for over a decade. And in that time I experienced two burnouts. So originally brought on by work, a really stressful job, but then not having anyone really to tell me it wasn't normal to feel that way. Nobody to guide me and say what I could or couldn't do. So I just kind of got on the best I could with life.
Although looking back now, I wasn't really getting on very well with it at all. But I just muddled my way through being chronically stressed for a really long time. I didn't realize at the time, but looking back, I realize that now. And then I hit my second burnout as a business owner. And that came about when my son was only four.
And that was really my turning point because it was just really significantly impacting my relationship with him. And I just thought, what am I doing? This has got to stop. So I promised myself from that point on that I was never ever going to allow myself to burn out again. And I started making lots of changes.
There was a lot of trial and error of trying to find ways to manage my stress for the long term. to avoid hitting burnout again. I then worked with the coach myself because I got so far that I felt better, but there was still something missing. So I got some additional support and it was during that time that I had a light bulb moment and I thought, hey, do you know what?
