• 21. Feeling like you're not enough - Fight feelings of shame and guilt during burnout

  Do you ever feel guilty for everything you just can’t manage to do? Do you feel like a bad mom or dad because you don’t have the energy to play with your kids, or listen when they talk? Do you feel like a bad partner because you’re not fun anymore, you can’t take care of yourself and look nice, you don’t have the energy to listen to how their day went, or help out around the house? Or maybe it’s your friends you feel guilty towards—because you’re not there for them when they’re going through something, or because you have to prioritize what little energy you do have and can’t meet up? In this episode, I'll talk about guilt, about feeling like you’re not enough, and shame. And most importantly—I want to talk about why you don’t need to feel like you’re not enough. Why you shouldn’t feel guilty. And hopefully, by the end of this episode, you’ll feel a bit lighter, a bit freer. Hope this blesses you!

• 20. Dizziness, Nausea, Pain or Numbness - Heal Stress in Your Body

  Do you feel dizzy, in pain, have pressure in your ears or trouble breathing? Or maybe you struggle to pull yourself together and get things done. Maybe you feel tingling, numbness, tinnitus, or like your muscles just suddenly give out? Have you been to the doctor with a bunch of symptoms they either can’t explain, dismiss as stress, or lump together into some vague junk-drawer diagnosis like “unexplained knee pain”? Today I’m going to talk about why you’re having all these symptoms—and why they’re not unexplained at all, but actually really normal reactions. I’ll talk about why you don’t have to be scared or worried about them, and of course, what you can do to actually feel better. We’re going to go into what happens in the body during stress, and what happens when you’ve been sick for a long time. I’ll also explain why well-meaning advice like “listen to your body” or “just rest” might actually make things worse—and what you should do instead.

• 19. Too Much Exhaustion, Overwhelm and Brain Fog? 3 Ways To Heal When It's Really Bad

  Sometimes the exhaustion and mental fatigue are just too much to handle. I've had moments where I just wanted to scream out in pure anxiety because it was so overwhelming. There’s no energy left to think positive thoughts, no strength to do constructive exercises. All I can do is lie in bed and hate my life. Today, I want to talk about how I survive those moments.

• 18. 4 Steps to Ease Setbacks During and After Burnout

  Having a setback can feel like a slap in the face. You're on your way back, you have hope of getting better, of getting well, and then you're just pushed straight down into that bottomless darkness. It's like a mockery, like someone wants to tell you not to believe that you can get well. The fear comes right away, and thougths like, maybe I can't get well? Maybe this will go on forever? And it feels like the setback will last forever. But a setback can also feel like a gentle reminder to take it a little easier, something you shake off and with a few minor adjustments get out of. Today I'm going to talk about how I avoid that dark place of setbacks and crawl back on track. How I do to have fewer, milder and shorter setbacks.   Key takeaways Setbacks will always happen, even if you do everything right. It's important not to get worried, lose hope, or throw out all your routines just because you have a setback. Setbacks come, but setbacks also go away. Things will get better again. Review your routines. Do you do the things that make you better, like journaling, taking brakes, mindful movements?  Question your to-do list. Do you really need to do everything, and with that deadline? Reframe it to remove things and prolong the dadlines.   Give yourself more time for recovery, like breaks, reading, listening to music, pilates, forrest walks or yoga.  Note that this podcast will take a short break for a couple of weeks.

• 17. Best hacks to reduce overwhelm in everyday life

  Have you ever been in need to make a decision, but been so overwhelmed that the decision feels impossible to make? Maybe standing in front of the toothpaste aile in the grocery store, unable to choose one of all the options? Or looking at your to-do list, unable to choose what to start with? Not to mention the decision of what to eat for dinner. Or do you have activities that you know you should do to feel better, but just doing them feels impossible? Today I want to share 2 tools that I use to reduce my overwhelm in those everyday situations, and make everyday life easier and run more smoothly.   Key takeaways Every decision we make requires energy and willpower. The more decisions we make, the more energy is used, and eventually there is no energy left. By making as many decisions as possibbly into routines, you need to take fewer decisions, get energy over for better things and get rid of that overwhelm.  Seccond guessing your healing process all the time gives doubt, fear and stress, which put the brain into high alert, worsening your symptoms like brain fog and overwhelm. By building a process to follow, trust it and stick with that, you can lower the stress on your brain, increasing your symptoms.
