Recently, I’ve found myself at a crossroads:
Feeling extremely tired (Like falling asleep for the night while putting the kids to bed… multiple days in a row?!… tired)
Craving a quiet life with less pressure
But I feel like I’ve only ever lived my life in burnout cycles…. so while slowing down has felt true to me…
I’ve also found myself so scared to burnout again that I’ve been avoiding overworking (maybe to my detriment?)
Battling what my body and soul feel is right with an old narrative that ‘it’s wrong.’
A deeper discussion on burnout 🥵
One MAJOR difference between then and now is that my work fuels me (a factor I often forget) and that my days and time are more intentionally filled than ever. PLUS I’ve been working on integrating this deep work that fuels me throughout my day to day. But the mindset struggle is always real.
So when
asked if I wanted to go live- I knew THIS was the topic for us.
April recently published her book Subtle Resistance and when I read about her burnout story we knew we had to get together and honestly share.
So in this conversation we held a deeper discussion about:
our experiences with burnout
if there’s a healthy way to push our limits
how we both want to avoid that hamster wheel
and ultimately, as intentional, slow living moms…. if there’s such thing as too slow?
Love a good deep discussion? View the full archive here.
