FRIED. The Burnout Podcast
Real. Raw. No Holding Back. Stories from people like you who've burnt out and come back to tell the tale. From thought leaders to your friend down the street, there's a story in FRIED that you will relate to, guaranteed. You are not alone. You might be fried crispy at this point, but I promise you there is a way through. Each week, there is a story of breakdown and build back up and we don't skip over the nasty bits. The journey through burnout is rarely a beautiful one, but it creates some pretty amazing careers and lives. The point of this space is to assure you that you aren't alone and that there is a way through. If one week doesn't resonate, be sure that another week will. There's a solution for every story and we will cover them all. I promise. And - the help doesn't stop there. UNFRIED is a small group coaching program (under 10 people per cohort) that is available for you. Find the info here. (bit.ly/UNFRIED)

From this, Teri created an empowerment empire, which includes her photography business Teri Hofford Photography, BODY IMAGE BOOTCAMP (™), and everyBODIES Education, 3 resources which help women and photographers overcome their body image issues, so they can shift their focus from changing their bodies, to changing the world.

Dr. Simone Kotraba: Over-Giving Until You're Burnt Out
Dr. Simone's story is so relatable. We have all overspent our good energy outside of the home only to find that what we have left for our loved ones is, well, crappy. Working in areas that are passionate for us, it is especially important to know our boundaries, know what we are actually able to give and drop the Saviour complex - that only we can save the world. Unpacking those paradigms and belief systems is exactly what saved Dr. Simone from long term burnout. www.friedtheburnoutpodcast.com/home/dr-simone-kotraba Learn more about your ad choices.
