Hey Friend,
Have you ever faced a moment so challenging that it transformed your understanding of struggle and recovery? I'm Dr. Patrice Buckner-Jackson, and in this week's episode titled "Riding Out the Storm: Lessons on Burnout and Recovery from Hurricane Helene," I share a deeply personal story of confronting Hurricane Helene—both its literal force and the metaphorical insights it brought into my life about burnout and healing.
Through the fear and deceptive calm of the hurricane, I uncovered profound truths about the underlying damages caused by prolonged stress and how they mirror the storm of burnout. This episode is a reflection on my journey through these physical and emotional storms and a reminder that true recovery requires more than just time—it demands intentional strategies and a commitment to heal.
Join me as we delve into the transformative power of setting boundaries and truly embracing recovery. This isn’t just about surviving; it’s about thriving beyond the habitual cycle of overworking and overachieving. We'll discuss the importance of letting go of emotional baggage and discovering your personal brilliance.
Recovery is an inevitable season of life, and it requires our full engagement and support, often with the aid of coaches or therapists. I'm thrilled to also offer one-on-one sessions designed to help you tap into your unique strengths. Make sure to subscribe to my email list for updates on these transformative opportunities.
Remember, you are powerful, significant, brilliant, and loved. Let’s embrace this journey of recovery together, learning the lessons that life’s storms teach us.
Love Always,
PBJ

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey, hey, friends, it's Dr Patrice Buckner-Jackson,
but you can call me PBJ, and Iam coming to you from our
displaced place as a result ofHurricane Helene oh goodness,
friends, but there's a burnoutlesson in this.
I just want to share a littlebit with you.
I won't be with you long I hopeyou can hear me me but let's
(00:24):
talk about it.
Okay, a few disclaimers as weget started.
(00:54):
So, first of all, we are fine.
We are grateful.
We have everything we need.
We endured for a while in ourhome, without water and without
electricity, and then we made adecision that it was time to go
to another place.
So we are in a place close tofamily and we have what we need.
(01:17):
We were so grateful to have ahot meal and a shower and to be
able to wash our clothes and allof the things that we take for
granted on a daily basis.
We are so grateful.
So we are fine.
Secondly, we may be interruptedat some point.
I am trying to record this asmy husband went to give little
(01:39):
Miss Bella a walk.
This has been quite anadventure for her as well, but
she traveled well.
She's doing pretty good.
She's a little freaked out andthinking that we're losing our
minds because her routine isdisrupted, but she's doing
pretty good, so you may hearthem come back here in a little
(01:59):
bit.
So that's number two.
Number three and, mostimportantly, our hearts and our
prayers are with those whocontinue to suffer and struggle.
What we experienced was ourconveniences taking taken away.
We had enough water, we hadenough sustainable food.
(02:19):
We had what we needed.
Even without you know theamenities we're used to in our
home.
We were fine.
There are people who aretrapped.
There are people who may nothave the food or the funds.
I recognize that it's aprivilege that we could pack up
and go to another place.
Everybody can't do that.
(02:40):
I also recognize that therehave been lives lost.
So, before I jump into whatI've learned through this, I am
very aware that there areimpacts that are far greater
than what I have experienced,and I just want to hold space
for those people and thoseexperiences and ask you to help
(03:01):
me pray for them.
So let's start with that.
I do want to give you a littlebit of a lesson.
Again, I won't hold you long.
Today I don't even have mynormal microphone, so we are
making this thing work, butsomething really sticks with me
as I think about what we'velearned over the last weekend.
(03:23):
Really, it's only been fourdays at this point.
So the night of the hurricane,when it came through and it was
in the middle of the night, wewere aware, so we weren't
sleeping very well anyway, butthe sound of it, the rain, the
wind, the howling, the cracking,the things, those are things
(03:47):
that you don't forget.
It was frightening for it tohappen at night because you
can't really see what's going on.
I've been in hurricanes before.
I've lived on the East Coastmost of my life.
So we are, we live hurricaneready, but the area that I live
(04:07):
in now is more landlocked and alittle further away from the
coast, so they're not asprepared.
But either way, I've beenthrough hurricane winds before.
This one was more terrifyingbecause of the time of day it
came through, because it wasblack, pitch dark, and you could
(04:28):
see nothing, but you could heareverything.
So that's one of the thingsthat sticks with me, as
ferocious as it was when we gotup the next morning and the sun
was out and we could see when.
I tell you it was the mostbeautiful day.
It was the most beautiful day.
(04:50):
The temperature was beautiful,the sun was shining.
I mean, it was almost like ifyou had mapped out a perfect day
.
Weather-wise it was a perfectday and I sat there and I
thought about how.
You know, the night before theweather was violent.
(05:11):
It was violent when you see thedestruction, not just in our
city of Augusta, georgia, butwhen you see the destruction
across eight or so states, itblows my mind Even just the
sheer size of this monster.
I'm hearing our power companyand our local officials say that
(05:37):
this was the toughest storm onrecord for our state, and I
don't know that, but that's whatfolks are saying, right?
So I compare the ferociousnature of the storm to the calm
of the next day, and it justseemed like a normal day until
(06:01):
you were able to witness theimpacts, until you were able to
see the destruction and yourealized it was not a normal day
.
So we went from the violenceand the fear and the overwhelm
of being in the storm to thecalm and the light and the
(06:25):
brightness of a calm day afterthe storm, to the consequences
and the impacts of the storm.
And the reason why I want tobring that up to you is because
I've often said that disruptingburnout is not about quickly
(06:47):
getting to some new normal.
It's not about quickly gettingout of the storm, but it takes
recovery.
It takes recovery when you havelived in burnout for a month or
six months or a year or, for me, 20 years, when you've lived in
(07:07):
a state or cycles of burnout.
It doesn't just go away becauseyou learn a new strategy.
Are the strategies impactful?
Yes, so that you do notcontinue falling into the cycle,
but the damage from the cyclestill needs to be addressed.
So let me tell you what I mean.
(07:30):
Although I have disruptedburnout in my life and I
continue to disrupt burnout inmy life through the strategies
that I teach you, I can stillsee the impacts of burnout in my
life.
I'll give you one specificexample my health habits and how
I'm taking care of my body andsome of the I'll call them
(07:54):
ailments that I deal with.
A lot of that came from livinga burnt out life.
Right, it's not an example orit's not an excuse.
It just is what it is.
So just because I've dealt withthe burnout doesn't mean the
consequences of burnout are gone.
I have the responsibility andthe need to deal with all of
(08:17):
those consequences that came outof my seasons of burnout, even
as I continue living my life,not going back into burnout.
We have to address theconsequences.
When I look at the impacts ofthe storm on my city, when I
look at the trees being down andthe power lines being on the
(08:41):
ground, literally traffic lightsflew off of the wire that they
were hanging on.
Not only do we not have workingtraffic lights, but in many
places there are no trafficlights because they blew off.
They blew down People who arewaiting in long lines to put gas
(09:04):
in their car three and fourhours.
People who are waiting in longlines just to get one case of
water for their family, orpeople who are posting saying
help, my child can't endure theheat, or help, you know I don't
have baby formula.
Or you know I can't get out oftown.
Or you know it is heartbreakingto see firsthand the impacts of
(09:31):
the storm.
The storm is gone, the rain hasstopped, the wind has stopped,
but we cannot pretend that weare normal.
We are not normal and it willbe at least weeks, maybe months,
before my city goes back tosome sense of normal.
Now let me say this we willnever be the same normal again.
(09:54):
There are spaces in my citywhere the infrastructure, the
landscape, is changed forever.
On the Somerville campus ofAugusta University, there was a
beautiful grove of trees andthis grove is iconic for the
(10:14):
university and for that campusand this is where people take
their graduation photos, andthis is what a Christmas
celebration is, and you knowmany, many traditions occurred
in this tree grove and most, ifnot all, of those trees are gone
, wiped out, never to return.
(10:35):
That it will be a new normal.
It will never be the samenormal again.
As I look at photos ofbuildings that have been wiped
out, or the whole side of abuilding that was torn off, or a
tree in the roof of a building,that building may rebuild, but
(10:56):
it will never be the same normalagain.
It's the same thing when youare disrupting burnout.
You will find a new normal, butyou will never be the same
normal again and you don't wantto be.
You don't want to be what usedto be normal when you normalized
(11:18):
living through the cycles ofburnout.
That's not the normal that youwant to live, so don't expect
that your life is going to goback.
It is time to expect thatthere's a new normal for you as
you're disrupting burnout.
You know how we do this.
We check our baggage.
We build boundaries that worknot just cute stuff that you
(11:40):
hear on social media, butboundaries that work.
Effective boundaries, becausewe keep talking about it but
we're not doing it well.
And that's why I focus onboundaries, that's why I do
workshops on boundaries, becausewe all talk about it but
nobody's really taught you howto build a boundary for real.
So you check your baggage, youbuild your boundaries and then
(12:00):
you discover your brilliance.
And that's what changeseverything, because then you
understand the value that youbring.
That is beyond any overworking,overachieving all of what used
to be normal for you.
You understand your new normalis showing up in the fullness of
who you were created to be.
You will never be the samenormal again.
(12:23):
So there's a period of recoverythat you have to honor the
recovery of relationships thatdid not serve well and don't
serve you now.
The recovery of the impacts onyour body physically, mentally,
spiritually.
The recovery of a life that youbuilt through living in burnout
(12:46):
.
And now you've got to figureout how to live this new life.
There is a season of recoveryand you don't get to tell
recovery how long recovery?
And you don't get to tellrecovery how long.
I always say skipping recoveryis just like if I went to one of
my neighbors right now andthey've got a tree in the roof
(13:07):
of their home or maybe they lostsomeone.
Y'all we lost children.
There were children who losttheir lives, children there were
children who lost their lives.
To go to those families and say, go back into your broken home
and be normal, every human wouldunderstand how insensitive that
(13:27):
is.
Every empathetic person wouldunderstand how inappropriate
that is.
But when people go throughmajor change in their lives, we
quickly want them to pretend oract like they are in some form
(13:49):
of normal, and that's not howlife works.
So as I transitioned from thestorm to the calm of the next
day, to becoming aware of thebreadth of damage, to witnessing
(14:13):
the recovery efforts and all ofthe teams and people and
decisions and money andeverything that it takes to
recover and money and everythingthat it takes to recover, it
was on my heart to come andremind you that you need to
allow recovery into your life.
(14:34):
If you have lived your wholelife burnt out, you will have to
learn how to live differentlyand that learning process is
called recovery.
Well, pbj, how do I recover?
You get help, friend.
Get yourself a coach, atherapist, somebody who can walk
(14:57):
you through the process ofrecovering.
You are too accustomed tostruggle in order to do it by
yourself.
You are too comfortable inburnout in order to do it by
yourself.
And here's the thing if youcould, if you could conquer this
(15:19):
all alone, you wouldn't stillbe struggling with it, friend,
you would not still be burnt out.
So I'm here to tell you no onerecovers alone.
You need help, you need help,you need support in order to
recover from the burnt out lifethat you become accustomed to.
(15:39):
New normal is coming, and it'sa brighter day and it's a
beautiful day.
It won't be the same, and it'sa brighter day and it's a
beautiful day.
It won't be the same, andthat's okay.
It'll never look the same again, and that's okay.
But in order to get throughrecovery, in order to rebuild,
(16:01):
in order to set a new foundation, in order to repair the damage,
you need somebody to walk withyou.
You need somebody to walk withyou.
All right, I got to go becausemy crew is going to come back
through busting in the door heresoon, as they should, but I
(16:22):
didn't want to just let thisweek go by.
I could.
I could have said, hey,hurricane can't do it, but I
didn't want to miss this lesson,and y'all know that it's my
heart's desire to share with youas I learn.
So it was important to me tocome and share this message with
you.
It is time to recover and youhave to allow time and you have
(16:47):
to allow support while yourecover.
Give me a week or so to get backon our feet and I am going to
open up a few slots on mycalendar to specifically work
with people on discovering theirbrilliance.
Specifically work with peopleon discovering their brilliance.
Over the last couple of weeks,I've had the opportunity to do
(17:12):
workshops concerning brillianceand it just becomes more and
more clear to me that peoplehave just not had a reliable
process for identifying theirbrilliance and who they are and
the value that they bring.
And it is so clear to me andit's just a clear process and
over and over and over, I've hadpeople just have these powerful
aha moments and I want morepeople to have that moment and I
(17:34):
want you to know yourbrilliance so that you can
maximize that brilliance in yourlife and serve the way you were
created to serve, and this isnot about and serve the way you
were created to serve.
Friend, this is not aboutperfection.
This is not even about fame orwhatever you might think it's
about.
This is about knowing the valuethat you bring to the table and
(17:56):
being responsible for thatvalue, showing up in that value
and understanding that it flowsfreely from you without you even
trying.

We were so grateful to have ahot meal and a shower and to be

We are so grateful.
So we are fine.
Secondly, we may be interruptedat some point.
I am trying to record this asmy husband went to give little

you through the process ofrecovering.
You are too accustomed tostruggle in order to do it by
yourself.
You are too comfortable inburnout in order to do it by
yourself.
And here's the thing if youcould, if you could conquer this
(15:19):
all alone, you wouldn't stillbe struggling with it, friend,
you would not still be burnt out.
So I'm here to tell you no onerecovers alone.
You need help, you need help,you need support in order to
recover from the burnt out lifethat you become accustomed to.
(15:39):
New normal is coming, and it'sa brighter day and it's a
beautiful day.
It won't be the same, and it'sa brighter day and it's a
beautiful day.
It won't be the same, andthat's okay.
It'll never look the same again, and that's okay.
But in order to get throughrecovery, in order to rebuild,
(16:01):
in order to set a new foundation, in order to repair the damage,
you need somebody to walk withyou.
You need somebody to walk withyou.
All right, I got to go becausemy crew is going to come back
through busting in the door heresoon, as they should, but I
(16:22):
didn't want to just let thisweek go by.
I could.
I could have said, hey,hurricane can't do it, but I
didn't want to miss this lesson,and y'all know that it's my
heart's desire to share with youas I learn.
So it was important to me tocome and share this message with
you.
It is time to recover and youhave to allow time and you have
(16:47):
to allow support while yourecover.
Give me a week or so to get backon our feet and I am going to
open up a few slots on mycalendar to specifically work
with people on discovering theirbrilliance.
Specifically work with peopleon discovering their brilliance.
Over the last couple of weeks,I've had the opportunity to do
(17:12):
workshops concerning brillianceand it just becomes more and
more clear to me that peoplehave just not had a reliable
process for identifying theirbrilliance and who they are and
the value that they bring.
And it is so clear to me andit's just a clear process and
over and over and over, I've hadpeople just have these powerful
aha moments and I want morepeople to have that moment and I
(17:34):
want you to know yourbrilliance so that you can
maximize that brilliance in yourlife and serve the way you were
created to serve, and this isnot about and serve the way you
were created to serve.
Friend, this is not aboutperfection.
This is not even about fame orwhatever you might think it's
about.
This is about knowing the valuethat you bring to the table and
(17:56):
being responsible for thatvalue, showing up in that value
and understanding that it flowsfreely from you without you even
trying.
So give me a little time.
