EPISODE 80: Creative Power, Burnout Recovery & Becoming the Main Character in Your Life
In this reflective episode, I share my personal story—why burnout recovery, boundary-setting, and creative empowerment have become a vital part of my work. You'll hear how navigating caregiving, family dysfunction, and community leadership led me to reclaim my voice and shift from overextension to alignment.
This episode includes:
- Insights on recognizing and shifting out of burnout
- Support for setting boundaries without guilt
- A reading of my original poem, Your Life (from my poetry book)
- Guided reflection prompts to support your inner clarity
- A meditative moment with my original music, Ocean Waving
If you’re feeling blocked, burned out, or disconnected from your creativity, this episode offers space to reconnect with what matters most—through creative expression, self-compassion, and personal values.
