When you’re an empath and people pleaser, burnout can be hard to detect and overcome. Even if you’re on a purposeful path, you may be shocked to discover that purpose does not equal limitless energy.
My friend Anne Bérubé joins me to discuss her new book The Burnout Antidote: A Spiritual Guide to Empowerment for Empaths, Over-Givers and Highly Sensitive People. Anne has a unique ability to awaken inner wisdom in others and help people to realize the highest calling of their souls. With her new book, she speaks directly to people who are in service in some way, helping them to identify signs of burnout.
Anne shares her own story of experiencing burnout, including the shame she carried when she realized what had happened to her. Her story will resonate with overgivers and people-pleasers, providing insight into why burnout happens (even if you love the work you’re doing). Anne offers those experiencing burnout a process for identifying the signs and going deep to overcome limiting beliefs and come out stronger and more resilient on the other side.
