Burnout and Self-Compassion, with Dr. Danielle de la Mare (S14E3)

Tap to send me your reflections ♡

What does burnout look like? How do we know when it's on our horizon? How can we find our way through it?

This conversation with Dr. Danielle De La Mare was inspiring, informative and full of inner wisdom.

The founder of Self-Compassionate Professor, Danielle focuses on healing academics’ relationship to work, helping them to clear mental and emotional clutter, make space for their own needs and wants, and find the clarity to make sound and meaningful career decisions grounded in wellness.

We talk about:

• The journey we can unwittingly take into burnout 
• Our relationships with loved ones and colleagues when we're on the brink - and when we're moving through burnout
• The impact of ill-health - and recovery from illness - on the burnout experience
• How imposter complex can play a part in the journey toward and experience of  burnout 
• The specific challenges of working within higher education and academia 
• Strategies for coping with these issues, including self-compassion, mindfulness, and finding balance in work and life
• The vital need for self-care, boundaries, and prioritising well-being
• The importance of empathy and understanding towards individuals struggling with burnout and imposter syndrome
• Practical tips for cultivating mindfulness and trust in career wellness
