EP 449: Overcoming Blocks to Moving Forward with Margaret

In this episode of "Over It and On With It," Christine Hasler coaches Margaret, who struggles with moving forward in her career due to past health challenges and financial needs. Margaret has experienced a mix of burnout and inertia, pushing too hard (and then needing more) as she tries to navigate a balanced approach to re-entering the workforce.

Consider/Ask Yourself:

• Do you feel safe at home but anxious elsewhere?
• Have you experienced vulnerability followed by rejection, causing you to withdraw?
• Do you find yourself pushing hard until you burn out, only to struggle to start again?

• She expresses frustration with the cyclic nature of pushing herself too hard and then needing extensive recovery time.
• Her journey has included deep personal insights, yet she still faces the challenge of balancing work demands with personal health.

A-Ha Moments:
