In this episode of the SISU Journey podcast, Jetty Niewenhuis talks about how she found freedom from the childhood trauma that held her back for so long. She shares how it’s possible to follow your own path free from the trauma of the past. Stay tuned! Here are the things to expect in this episode: What was it like growing up in a dysfunctional family? The importance of having a safe space to retreat to Suffering from an eating disorder upon reaching adulthood Growing up in an environment where there is shame around healing Eventually starting a platform where she can share her story And much more! - About Jetty Niewenhuis: From a young age growing up in the Netherlands I began to understand the weight of labels: “dirty farm girl,” “not smart enough,” “too outspoken.” It took decades to break free of the shame and exhaustion associated with people-pleasing to understand who I was when I wasn’t focused on being palatable for others. As a speaker, model, and content creator, I now use my personal stories of invisible illness — bulimia, Lyme Disease, and depression — to help women wake up from a life on autopilot and unapologetically go after their desires. As a former health and wellness coach, I’m known for encouraging self-expression as a means to communicate the depth of who you are and what you stand for. Rebelling against the perfectly curated influencer image — complete with unattainable standards — I focus on the real contradictions of life like fashion over 40, beauty without the heavy edit, and having enough while still wanting more. For 18 years I’ve owned a dairy farm with my husband in Alberta, Canada — living as a true fashionista on a farm. I’ve completed two IronMan triathlons and am a certified IAWP Wellness coach, Precision Nutrition L1 Coach, CanFitPro Personal Trainer, Make-Up Artist (Miekepetiet Amsterdam), and Image Consultant (New York).

For the next few weeks, I am going to be releasing a series of short learning episodes from my Banishing Burnout series. I encourage you to listen to them as they come out, because small chunks is really the best way to internalize this content. They don’t necessarily have to be consumed in order, but some of it may not entirely make sense out of order. If you prefer to receive this information in video or article format, the details for other versions can be found in the show notes. Today’s episode is Part 1. I will be explaining what burnout is and why it just might be the next wave of the pandemic. Video format: https://youtu.be/rQ4xqTE5oGs Article format: https://medium.com/@sisu_journey/why-the-next-wave-of-the-pandemic-might-be-burnout-2a6fabf4057 This material is part of a course (under development) called Banishing Burnout: What They Forgot to Teach Us. If you would like to be notified when the course is live, please subscribe for updates at sisujourney.com

Hello listeners, Helena Lucia here from SISU Journey. I wanted to pop in with an update since it’s been a while since you heard from me. First of all, I want to say Happy Indigenous People’s Day. This year, I am donating to an organization called Medicine Wheels. This organization is helping to support the current mental health crisis by supporting people and their connection to indigenous lands. I will put the link to Medicine Wheels as well as some other causes below, in case you feel inclined to join me.  We are coming back with more science and stories of resilience in January 2022. We currently paused on releasing new episodes while we find the right people to maximize the impact of each story. Accessibility is part of our values, and we want to utilize multiple media formats to make our content as available as possible, including transcripts, blog posts, video content and clips, and audio content and clips. In order to accomplish this goal, we need a little more support than our current team can handle so we are actively looking for someone and building a process to get that done. I’m looking forward to sharing more amazing stories with you just as soon as we are ready! Lastly, my focus as we go into 2022 is supporting people through the experience of burnout. My talk entitled Banishing Burnout: What They Forgot to Teach Us, is focused on the way we are culturally socialized to live our lives as an amalgamation of other people’s ideas instead of listening to our body's innate wisdom and intuition. The message is packed with concrete tools leveraging neuroscience, polyvagal nervous system work, and subconscious reprogramming to really tune into your best, most juicy life and gently begin to extract yourself from the treadmill that is causing burnout. I am developing a companion course that goes with the talk, which will be available in early December for only $25 at sisujourney.com. I have also opened up space for a four-hour 1:1 intensive that I am calling burnout audit. This is the first 1:1 offering I’ve done in a while. Details on that transformational experience can be found at sisujourney.com/burnout-audit. Additionally, there will be group offerings and workshops in 2022 applying these concepts to relationships with money, creativity, your business, your sexuality, etc, so make sure you sign up for our mailing list so you will be the first to know the latest. I know the holidays can be a challenge, and I do encourage you to protect your energy this season. Give yourself a lot of grace and space to grieve and feel and move and experience. Sending you all lots of love and support, and I will see you in 2022. Have a resilient holiday season.   Medicine Wheels Other causes to support SISU Journey Burnout Audit
