I’m:
👉 An over 50 GenX woman
👉 Recovering from debilitating burnout & CPTSD
I had to become my own recovery expert because I could not find effective help.
Now, I’m a stress management way-shower in the self care and healing movement for people struggling with anxiety and chronic/toxic stress.

Recovering from #burnout requires us to undertake the hero’s journey back to Self.
It requires courage to release the security of your defense mechanisms and sacrifice your illusions about life.

I don’t place significant value on made-up human holidays. I hope some day I may be able to find joy in them again. Mostly, I find them stressful as our capitalistic society exploits our obligation to participate to make money.

🌀 🌀 Inner Listening is the Path to Freedom 🌀 🌀
#Burnout recovery demands we listen less to external definitions of self and more to the messages arising from within. The more we align with the Self, the more purposeful and vital our lives become.
It's hard because it requires we let go.

🌀 🌀 Growth Requires Discomfort 🌀 🌀
Questioning the identity we’ve built in life is disorienting, and often painful, but it’s essential for personal freedom. Only by challenging our assumptions can we begin to discover a more authentic way of being.

🌀 🌀 Don't Mistake Adaptation for Identity 🌀 🌀
Our beliefs about “who we are” stem from roles we assumed in childhood: the responsible one, the pleaser, the rebel. These roles were survival strategies.
#Burnout recovery requires we recognize some of these ways of being no longer serve us.

Our conscious identities—based in the ego mind—are shaped by early life experiences, cultural expectations, and adaptive responses. They are not our true Self, but a provisional version meant to help us survive.

#Burnout isn’t just about being unhappy and exhausted by life.
It’s feeling — a deep knowing, really — that the work you are doing is debasing and degrading you in exchange for just enough money to keep you trapped on the hamster wheel until you break or die.
It’s realizing you’re a prostitute.

Conscious Choices | Not Obligation Fulfillment
Actively choosing rather than reacting or staying in repetitive action involves questioning our conditioned responses and moving toward the discomfort when it aligns with our authentic personhood.
This is how we reclaim our Self from #burnout.

True change requires us to move through fear, not around it. A life of meaning and vitality come when we confront what we fear and reclaim the parts of ourselves we left behind in our youth.

➡️ Old Ways of Being are Rooted in Survival
Many of our habits and decisions are shaped by childhood / young adult adaptations aimed at safety or approval. These patterns usually persist into adulthood, unconsciously limiting our ability to thrive.
Discarding these is key to #burnout recovery.

Every single one of us are divine expressions of source. Duality is an illusion.
My X was an alcoholic, narcissistic, abusive deadbeat who seriously F’d up my life and our child’s life. I still grieve some days.
Both of these are valid and true. 3D living is a paradox. Honor your journey. ❤️❤️

Well-Balanced Isn't Flourishing
Striving to be well-balanced or “normal” is a superficial, top-down "tactic." Balance is not inherently healthy when it comes at the cost of authenticity. In this scenario, it is not an effective solution for #burnout recovery.
Solid foundations are bottom up.

When answering the question “what am I in service to?” the answer better have something to do with your instinctual values, meaning, and purpose.
If it does not, you are on the difficult path of survival mode to #burnout , depression, and grief.

#Burnout is working harder within the existing system to “make it.” The endless hustle and side hustles culture into which we’ve been indoctrinated.
The theme this week is about how we begin to liberate and reclaim our Self, individually and collectively, from the toxic system we have created.

The road to burnout looks like:
“Thirty years, two degrees and $50k of debt later, and I’m doing basically the same damn trained monkey work I did when I was 19 years old and for essentially the same pay and exploitive treatment.”

The road to burnout looks like:
Realizing you spent 10-20-30 years of your life working for a system that places profits over people. And you’re still living just barely better than paycheck to paycheck.
Some of us have no desire to climb the corporate ladder. We just want meaningful work.
