Healing from Burnout In Higher Ed: A Heart-To-Heart With Two Ex Professors
I’m thrilled to share with you a heartfelt conversation with Danielle De La Mare, PhD, on her podcast, The Self-Compassionate Professor.
Danielle and I are both former professors who’ve left the academy to pursue work that feels more aligned and fulfilling.
Watch a quick snippet here:
On the podcast, I shared my journey from perfectionism, imposter syndrome, intense stress, and difficulty healing to feeling an overall sense of mental and physical well-being. I talked about the importance of knowing your body’s stress response and how when you make time to focus on your physical and mental health — finding ways to feel grounded, getting quality sleep, finding joy, etc. — it makes you better at your job.
Listen to the whole conversation on your favorite podcast platform:
Especially after leaving my career in higher education, I believe that success does NOT require sacrificing your health or mental and emotional wellbeing.
I believe you can have both, and more.
And I believe that when you’ve worked hard for your career achievements and you’re passionate about what you do (or used to feel passionate about it), then you should do everything you can to recover from burnout before taking an axe to your career.
So if you’re currently battling the overwhelm, anxiety, and disconnection that go along with burnout, and you’re trying to figure out your next steps, first watch my free training below:
