Welcome back to part 2 of my burnout recovery series on Your Creative Chord Podcast. In this episode, I continue my personal journey of rebuilding and reflection as I explore the path of recovering from burnout. Recovery doesn’t happen overnight, but through creativity, self-compassion, and reconnecting with what truly matters, I’m finding my way back to balance.
In this episode, I discuss the emotional impact of recent election results, particularly for those feeling frustrated or defeated by the outcome. The added stress and emotional turmoil of political news can contribute to burnout, and I share practical tips on how I'm navigating these feelings with more grace, positivity, and resilience.
You’ll hear about:
- How reconnecting with your inner stillness helps you find peace through moments of reflection
- How to use creativity as a tool for emotional resilience
- How to embrace self-compassion and create value from your experiences
I also share verses from my poetry book Kaleidoscope of the Heart, including the poem "Breathing," and an original musical meditation (from my podcast show music!) to help you tap into the healing power of stillness and create a peaceful space for your own recovery.
If you’re in a phase of burnout recovery, or just need a reminder to pause and reflect, this episode offers you practical strategies to regain balance and ignite your creative energy.
