The Prosperous Empath's Edge: Transforming Giver Burnout to Breakthrough
Manage episode 441529037 series 3559694
As we are getting close to 100 episodes of the show, I'm feeling so reflective of the synergies and similar stories that I've heard time and time again during our guest episodes on the show. There's a couple of topics that are super important that I want to take the time to speak to because they feel like breakthroughs that empaths need to overcome in order to prosper. Specifically, I’m thinking of burnout, boundaries, and energy management. Today I want to focus on burnout because it is so worth talking about. Something I have so appreciated in hearing the stories and the journeys of some of our guests over the past two years is that their experience with burnout provided such an invaluable doorway to their success. I’ve found that oftentimes, the burnout experience can create a no looking back, opportunity to break through, to turn a corner, to start a new chapter, and ultimately to pave the way for success. I think that's why I've created such a beautiful, surrendered experience for myself with reaching burnout, but also being with clients when they're in their moments of burnout or breakdown. So listen to this episode to hear how you can focus your efforts to avoid giver burnout and cultivate more energy all the while prioritizing your own ambition and intentions.
Topics:
- Catherine’s first experience with burnout while she was a student, volunteering in the Peace Corps and and working and how she’s taken lessons learned from this into her coaching practice
- The two types of giver burnout – physical/well-being and relationship – and being mindful of the energy and relationships you may be attracting
- The importance of receiving positive feedback and seeing the impact of your efforts so that you don’t feel taken advantage of and exhausted as a giver
- The difference between "other-ish" and "selfless" givers and where to focus your efforts to avoid burnout while managing your ambition
