Doing Your Best Does Not Mean Being Perfect

In this episode of the Impostor Syndrome Files, we talk stress and burnout. If you’re a high achiever (hint: if you’re listening to this podcast, you are), you’re likely at higher risk for stress and burnout because of the way you approach your work. My guest this week is Avery Thatcher, a former ICU nurse who now specializes in burnout recovery. Avery shares her personal journey as someone who understood the risk factors for burnout yet still suffered from what she refers to as her own epic burnout experience. Here we talk about the three stages of chronic stress and how to recognize them. We also talk about how to manage our energy to prevent burnout. And we talk about how to do your best work without the pressure to always be perfect.
