Recovering from Mom Burnout :: Nicole Zasowski [Ep 357]

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Every mom will experience burnout. It’s as simple as our energy output exceeds our energy input, but it can be debilitating and discouraging. You may wish for a vacation, or spa day or even just 15 minutes of silence, but what if those typical self-care strategies are out of your reach? Where can you find rest when it seems like your circumstances just don’t allow for any? </span></p> <p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">“You may find that if someone pours water all over you, you are damp and distracted, but not cured of your sadness, the way a fire department can douse a fire but never recover what has been burnt down.”</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">—Lemony Snicket,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Bad Beginning</span></em></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week we talk with Nicole Zasowski, a mom of three, therapist, and author of the new book,</span> <em><span style="font-weight: 400;">What if it’s Wonderful?</span></em> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Through her own life journey that has included deep sorrow and deep joy, Nicole encourages us to fight burnout with regular rhythms of celebration. No, not another party for you to plan, she’s not looking to douse water on burned-out you, but to help you recover joy that has been lost.  She gives you an invitation to look at the good God is doing all around you, in every season. </span></p> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Connect with Nicole Zasowski: </span></h2> <ul> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Website: </span> <a href= "https://www.nicolezasowski.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.nicolezasowski.com/</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> </span></li> <li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Facebook:</span> <a href= "https://www.facebook.com/nicolezasowskiwriter"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://www.facebook.com/nicolezasowskiwriter</span></a><span style="font-weight:
