Episode 307: Write Your Own Story with Rebecca Fleetwood Hession
Oftentimes, while we’re trudging through our lives with our heads down, crushing our goals at all costs, and maintaining the title of “Top Performer,” it takes a crippling illness or injury to realize that we can’t sustain the patterns we’ve created for ourselves.
In this episode, I chat with Rebecca Fleetwood Hession who shares her story about overcoming burnout. After years of avoiding any type of illness, Rebecca was crippled for months with a very scary case of pneumonia. During her time of recovery, she had the opportunity to reconnect with herself and identify that she was smack dab in the middle of burnout.
For many of us, burnout can be limited to our careers, but in some cases, it extends into multiple areas of life. Rebecca shares the story of peeling back the layers of her burnout to get to the root of her struggles and the process that she followed to rebuild herself from the ground up by incorporating daily stillness and reflection in her life.
Tune in to this episode to hear more about Rebecca’s story and to gain insight into how you can add daily stillness and reflection into your routine before you find yourself buried under layers of burnout. This episode is teeming with the value of incorporating rest into your life and your family’s life and I can’t wait to share it with you.
