84: Beyond Burnout w/Michelle Leotta

Do you know the symptoms of burnout? Do you ever ignore ongoing physical ailments so you can ‘just keep going’? If so, you might be like today’s guest who was ‘pushing through’ her life thinking her exhaustion, dizzy spells and other chronic issues were ‘normal’.

This week’s very special guest, Michelle Leotta, experienced burnout herself and decided to dedicate her life to not only studying it, but to helping women heal this very pressing issue. Stephanie and Maren often talk about the ‘inward journey’ and sometimes there are ‘outer’ steps that must be addressed before we can look within.

Sometimes we’re so overwhelmed with life that we don’t even know where to start. Michelle knows what that’s like and is helping women make space in their lives to get healthy. You can access her free stress assessment here.

If you are in ‘overwhelm’, going from thing to thing, and need some support, this podcast is for you. Michelle gives us some really wonderful guidance around burnout, how to recognize it and how to overcome it.
