Hope you are ready for more burnout fighting knowledge friends!

We have covered a lot of things in the journey of my client Suzie.

As we worked through her time audits and the importance of wellness as well as focusing on her relationships, another really important factor in her recovery journey came up.

You see she would meet with me and do really well for a few days but then as always happens when you try to change for the better, life starts to try to move you back to the homeostasis it thought you were in before.

Now I want to take a moment to point something out- Suzie, if you haven’t guessed is a woman.

Some of the struggles she has had were a result of that- pressures of being the “perfect mom” and trying to perform at a high level in a male dominated field.

It made her feel like she had something to prove and so slowly but surely, she started pulling back on her boundaries.

But these problems are not unique to women.

Men also struggle with boundaries and it all goes back to a root cause.

The perception of others.

Women its unconsciously more accepted for women to have boundaries or be child focused but they are often perceived as weak for having them or not ambitious enough.

With men, they are expected to be the martyrs- they can’t turn down any assignment or request no matter how bad their mental health is because they are just supposed to keep going and going and going.

When they do have a problem, it’s a “mid-life crisis” or just “a funk” that they are expected to work themselves out of.

But both men and women are deserving of relief from burnout and anxiety.

So, as you listen to this episode of Suzie’s journey, remember that “Suzie” can be any of us.

Another dive into:

• The importance of holding onto our boundaries as we start our burnout recovery.
• How the world reacts to and treats men and women's mental health journeys.
• Ways that Suzie and I regained control at work and established her professional boundaries without alienating people.
