After years and years of work, I can finally say that I've reached the pinnacle of my recovery from burnout. Would I say that I'm fully recovered from burnout? Not quite…

Recovery is a continuous process, not a one-time event. We will never be fully recovered because recovery has no endpoint. This applies in a big way to people who are recovering from addiction, and for those of us recovering from burnout - it translates perfectly.

The urge may come to slip back into old ways. To work, grind, push and handle the job, house, and kids while staying up late, getting up early, skipping meals, and neglecting our own needs to make sure the tasks get checked off.

The important thing to remember when we find ourselves looking in the face of old habits is to take a step back and trust ourselves. Trust yourself to make good decisions and trust your future self to get you through the tough times that wait down the road.

Prioritizing rest and self-care are key components to recovering from burnout and challenging the guilt that lurks beneath the surface of putting yourself first is a battle that will be ongoing, but worth it in the end.

Listen as I wrap-up on season three of the Burnout to Badass Podcast. It is full of encouragement and warm fuzzies to keep you on the right track in your burnout recovery.

Many of my interviews speak from the perspective of doctors and the challenges we face in our professions. Another, very different, type of experience that happens right alongside us as doctors, is that of our nurses.

I chat with Jeanelle Classen about her journey as a nurse and the emotional roller coaster it took her on. After facing burnout in her grad year of nursing and the overwhelming feelings of guilt and angst that the career brought her, she needed to make a change and find a way to rid herself of burnout and help others nurses like her.

For those of you in the medical field, you know how much responsibility and pressure is placed on the shoulders of nurses. With the high levels of stress and emotional exhaustion that nurses experience on a regular basis, due to the demanding nature of their work, it's no wonder that they find themselves staring into the face of burnout.

We need to encourage nurses to take the steps that are necessary to take care of themselves in order to prevent burnout. Listen in to this episode to hear about the changes Jeanelle has made in her life and how she is pursuing her passion to raise awareness about the issue of nursing burnout.

Oftentimes, while we're trudging through our lives with our heads down, crushing our goals at all costs, and maintaining the title of "Top Performer," it takes a crippling illness or injury to realize that we can't sustain the patterns we've created for ourselves.

In this episode, I chat with Rebecca Fleetwood Hession who shares her story about overcoming burnout. After years of avoiding any type of illness, Rebecca was crippled for months with a very scary case of pneumonia. During her time of recovery, she had the opportunity to reconnect with herself and identify that she was smack dab in the middle of burnout.

For many of us, burnout can be limited to our careers, but in some cases, it extends into multiple areas of life. Rebecca shares the story of peeling back the layers of her burnout to get to the root of her struggles and the process that she followed to rebuild herself from the ground up by incorporating daily stillness and reflection in her life.

Tune in to this episode to hear more about Rebecca's story and to gain insight into how you can add daily stillness and reflection into your routine before you find yourself buried under layers of burnout. This episode is teeming with the value of incorporating rest into your life and your family's life and I can't wait to share it with you.
