The term "Burnout" may strike you as one of those trendy buzz words that you hear around the water cooler or something you talk about with your Therapist. But it is a real thing that can threaten not only our happiness, but our health.  In this conversation with Scott Anderson, who is a brilliant entrepreneur, mental health therapist and executive coach, we un-pack the feelings of burnout and how it can be the "dark night of the soul." He shares some simple techniques we can do today to drop anchor and get our lives back on track. 

Grief. That unavoidable residue that is left on our hearts. This tricky emotion is one that re-shapes our world and we cannot escape from it. No matter how hard we may try. Grief hurts. It comes in waves. It is isolating. It is a catalyst to tremendous growth. It is the proof that we loved deeply and bravely. This episode explores the many stages of grief and delicately teaches us how we can show compassion towards others, and ourselves.  I am joined by four insightful souls who have loved completely and have faced life-changing grief and have something to say about it.  Thank you to my dear Denise Cordero, Viviana Flores, Chad Mortenson and Bryce Goodwin for sharing your story and your love. Pull up a chair. Grab a beverage. Have a listen.
