Fried and Burned Out: The Burnout Conversation that Won’t BUM You Out, with Cait Donovan

<p>“I’ve done the thing, I’ve arrived... why do I feel so terrible?” This is the question my guest, Cait Donovan, spent almost seven years asking herself and working to get to the root of. </p> <p>Why did she feel exhausted all the time? Resentful of people asking her to do things? And mad at people she loved? </p> <p>She’d heard of burnout affecting hospital workers and corporate workers, but not someone who’d done their own thing and built their own business. </p> <p>Cait made it her full-time job to heal from her burnout and figure out what to do with what she was feeling. In today’s episode, she shares what she did to start her journey towards feeling NOURISHED again and how she helps others do the same. </p> <p>In our conversation, we talk about: </p> <ul><li style="font-weight:400;">The internal and external causes of burnout </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">What the signs of burnout are (and what they aren’t!) </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Whether or not you need to quit your job or close your business to recover and heal </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">How long the recovery process takes </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">Why being positive can be toxic when you’re burned out and what to do instead</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">How to use your resentment as a superpower and the valuable information it can provide for moving forward</li> <li style="font-weight:400;">What to do if you “suck” at relaxing </li> <li style="font-weight:400;">And more! </li> </ul> <p>Links Mentioned: </p> <p><a href='https://www.shebuiltthis.org/'>She Built This Website </a></p> <p><a href='https://www.caitdonovan.com/links'>Connect with Cait</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.instagram.com/cait_donovan/'>Follow Her on Instagram </a></p> <p><a href='https://www.friedtheburnoutpodcast.com/'>Fried the Burnout Podcast</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.caitdonovan.com/'>Her Website</a></p> <p><a href='https://www.caitdonovan.com/store'>Resentment Journal Mini Course </a></p> <p>About Cait: </p> <p>Cait Donovan is a Keynote
