Finish Your Year Burnout Free

Text your thoughts and questions!

The end of the year brings a very unique kind of pressure. We’re closing out projects, preparing for new ones, finalizing finances, coordinating schedules, attending events, and trying to wrap up the year in ways that feel meaningful and productive. And all of that’s on top of our already busy schedules and the added layer of the holidays. As if that isn’t already a recipe for burnout, for those in the northern hemisphere, this happens in a season when our energy naturally dips. So how do we survive (and hopefully thrive) during this time of year? This week, episode 292 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about finishing your year burnout-free!

In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, I cut through the “hustle culture” myth and teach you how to honor your seasonal energy by slowing down and speeding up strategically to ensure you finish the year feeling grounded, not drained. 

I cover the following topics:

• The productivity paradox: working longer hours quickly leads to burnout, not increased results. 
• Strategic and seasonal approaches to slow down, without stopping, and honor your capacity.
• A two-part strategy to finish the year burnout-free: reducing capacity and applying intentional sprinting for essential tasks. 

Remember: your worth is not measured by the number of commitments you complete before December 31st. Don't collapse at the finish line. Instead, choose a grounded, gentle finish that allows you to start the new year rested and ready.
