Podcast 161 – 2020 Burnout: Saving Our Mental Health for the Greater Good
2020 Burnout: Saving Our Mental Health for the Greater GoodIt’s been a year of testing so much for all of us. Bernie and I catch up on how we’re making it through parenting and trying to stay distant (and connected) during COVID, which is relentless.

We also discuss the election stress, our self care plans, and why we need to “complete our stress cycles” — something we learned by reading the book Burnout by Emily and Amelia Nagoski.

Get a replay of some key advice from our podcast chat on Body Shame Burnout with the authors originally aired in May 2019, including how the Patriarchy keep “human giver syndrome” and the “bikini industrial complex” alive and well — and oppressing you, making you stressed, sick, and spiraling toward Burnout.

Podcast 144: Resilience Practices for Anxiety and Body Shame During COVID-19 with Nicola Haggett
Resilience Practices for Anxiety and Body Shame During COVID-19 with Nicola HaggettPracticing Body Kindness during COVID-19 is all about resilience skills as we navigate this collective trauma. While some people are finding “humor” in memes or chats about social distancing-related weight gain or the supposed “quarantine 15,” these messages are fatphobic and harmful to people struggling with mental health and body image. Nicola Haggett and I share our ideas for setting boundaries, creating self-care plans, and well-being enhancement that can help you cope with fears.

Podcast 135: Take Meaningful ACTion toward change with Steven C. Hayes PhD author of A Liberated Mind
Take Meaningful ACTion toward change with Steven C. Hayes, author of A Liberated MindWhat if instead of trying to change negative thoughts, judgments, and feelings that come up when practicing Body Kindness, you learned to change how you relate to those thoughts and feelings instead? That’s exactly what we’re discussing in this week’s podcast with Steven C. Hayes, the creator of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and author of A Liberated Mind.

You’ll learn all about ACT and how it influenced the Body Kindness philosophy, as well as specific tools and skills you can use to pivot toward a better life and a better well-being by changing how you relate to your mind rather than getting deflated by your self-criticisms and judgments. I tried these skills in real-time during our chat, and I hope you’ll join me in trying them yourself.

Episode 118: BURNOUT Part 2 – Changing Your Relationship to Your “Madwoman in the Attic” with Emily Nagoski and Amelia Nagoski
Podcast 118: Burnout Part Two: Changing Your Relationship to Your “Madwoman in the Attic” with Emily Nagoski and Amelia NagoskiIn part two of my series on Burnout, which is also the title of a new book by Emily and Amelia Nagoski, we’re discussing why you should stop fighting your “inner critic” (that voice in your head constantly shouting at you, judging you and shaming you). In reality, this “madwoman in the attic” is trying to tell you something valuable about who you are, which can be really helpful in moving forward from BURNOUT because you stop pretending to be who the world wants you to be.

Podcast 117: How to recover from BURNOUT (Part 1) with Emily Nagoski and Amelia NagoskiBurnout is the stress resilience book I’m recommending to friends and clients from now on. This two-part podcast series with Emily and Amelia Nagoski will explain why. We all have stress, but we aren’t all completing the stress cycle, which can have real health consequences. Learn about “human giver syndrome” and why the opposite is not “taker syndrome”— which is what I used to think. Find out how the patriarchy… ughhhh plays a role in women’s burnout.
