Ep 177: Why Perfectionists Burnout + How To Avoid It

Most perfectionists are all too familiar with burnout - as well as the overwhelm, procrastination and guilt that surrounds it. I know I definitely am! For over a decade, I reliably burned out at least once every six months. I felt helpless to the cycle and that the most I could hope for was learn how to spot the signs early.

But now, after more than 2 years without burning out, I can safely say that burnout doesn’t have to be part of your life - even if you’re a recovering perfectionist with A LOT of big goals and a busy schedule. In this episode, I’m sharing the real cause of burnout and how to avoid it. I hope you find it helpful!

In This Episode You’ll Learn:

• My personal experience with burnout and the negative impact it had on my life
• The real reason that perfectionists burnout so often
• Why burnout isn’t caused by your to-do list, your busy schedule or lack of sleep
• How to spot the thoughts that are making you feel overwhelmed, before they take over
• The hidden upside to burnout and why it’s so hard to stop
