Many of us are experiencing being overwhelmed and burnt out in our careers.  Depending on your industry, you may feel isolated and alone. You don’t really have anyone who gets it, and if you bring the frustration home, it can only cause issues with your family and friends. Anxiety, depression, and fatigue can develop, and if you’re not careful, you can do physical damage to your body, like heart disease and other stress-related diseases. Despite having a good job and supportive colleagues, Danielle De La Mare, founder of Self-Compassionate Professor, career wellness coach, podcaster, and former tenured professor of Communication Studies, was unhappy for a long time. She had become attached to her career identity, addicted to work, and regularly experienced shame-driven anxiety due to imposter syndrome.

In this episode, Danielle shares how an impactful medical diagnosis encouraged her to change her life significantly. Those changes led to freedom, career wellness, and fulfillment. We discuss:

  • Tackling the overwhelm that exists in higher education 
  • What self-compassion and career wellness means and why they are necessary 
  • Breaking out of the overwork-burnout cycle 
  • How being a part of a supporting group can help and 
  • Being present, not perfect 

Danielle was able to find her identity and break free from imposter syndrome, and you can too!
