Goalden Girls Podcast Episode #84 - Spotting Signs Of Burning Out Before They Impact Your Family, Business And Bottom Line with Ollie Matthews

Have you ever had brain fog - a blend of confusion, forgetfulness and lack of focus and mental clarity?

Do you often experience what feels like a constant sense of exhaustion and a lack of motivation to engage in your daily routine? 

And now, let’s get personal: do you get up to pee in the night - every night?

If that’s you, you’re not alone.

A recent Instagram poll I did (super scientific, I know) had 40% of respondents currently burned out and 60% recovered from burnout. 

The result?

There was literally NO-ONE who hasn't had or isn’t currently experiencing burnout.

It’s not a surprise that our health is suffering, as a collective.

As women, entrepreneurs, professionals, and truthfully –  ANY human living in our North American, silo-ed, hustle culture, we’re all wearing a LOT of hats, have a lot on our plates, and often put other people’s needs in front of our own.

If you know me, you know I believe deeply in WHOLE-LIFE Success – or as I call it “Multidimensional Success” which means thriving in every area of your life.

Today, we’re talking about prioritizing your health and wellness so you can thrive in your career, your business and your life.

Health and wellness really IS the foundation - you don’t need me to tell you that without this pillar, without this foundation of health, it’s almost impossible to have any other kind of meaningful success.
