Ep 177: Why Perfectionists Burnout + How To Avoid It

Most perfectionists are all too familiar with burnout - as well as the overwhelm, procrastination and guilt that surrounds it. I know I definitely am! For over a decade, I reliably burned out at least once every six months. I felt helpless to the cycle and that the most I could hope for was learn how to spot the signs early.

But now, after more than 2 years without burning out, I can safely say that burnout doesn't have to be part of your life - even if you're a recovering perfectionist with A LOT of big goals and a busy schedule. In this episode, I'm sharing the real cause of burnout and how to avoid it. I hope you find it helpful!

In This Episode You'll Learn:

My personal experience with burnout and the negative impact it had on my life
The real reason that perfectionists burnout so often
Why burnout isn't caused by your to-do list, your busy schedule or lack of sleep
How to spot the thoughts that are making you feel overwhelmed, before they take over
The hidden upside to burnout and why it's so hard to stop
