Burnout Recovery Coach, Avery Thatcher, began her journey in the ICU, where she witnessed how chronic stress often led to severe illnesses and diseases. Even though she thought she had dialed in her healthy habits, it wasn’t enough to prevent her extreme burnout. This marked the beginning of her exploration into understanding how to genuinely prevent and recover from burnout.

In this conversation, Avery shares signs and symptoms of burnout, what it means to be a highly sensitive person, the strengths and downfalls of being a high-achiever and how to redefine it, and finally how to recover from and prevent burnout from ever happening again.

Key takeaways:

  • Highly sensitive high achievers may experience burnout differently
  • Learn the 4 self-sabotaging styles that can lead to burnout
  • The importance of managing all energy centers 
  • Recognize and manage 'energy-depleting' situations
