Right Now We Are All Feeling Grief
Why am I so grumpy and irritable? Why can’t I sleep through the night? Why do I feel so thin-skinned and overwhelmed? Why is it impossible to concentrate on anything for more than a few minutes? Why – when I have so much to be grateful for and appreciative of during this horrible time – am I so...
How to Address Decision Fatigue as a Chief Everything Officer
Anyone who runs their own coaching business knows how complex and demanding being a solopreneur can be. We have to be making all the decisions about everything all the time.

An inability to say no – and other bad habits of burnout
Judy Klipin experienced burnout. After becoming a life coach and seeing the need for it among her clients, she wrote a book, Recover from Burnout; Life Lessons to Regain Your Passion and Purpose.

Living with Someone Living with Burnout
Living with someone who is living with burnout is, in many ways, as difficult as living with burnout. It can be frustrating. Confusing. Worrying. Boring. Lonely. More than anything it can be lonely. As the burnout tightens its grip, the person experiencing it becomes more and more withdrawn; grumpy,...

Heed those flashing red lights and seek help before you burn out
Feeling overwhelmed and exhausted emotionally and physically? Burnout is far more common than you may think — and it is not restricted to the workplace. The World Health Organisation recently categorised workplace burnout as a reportable medical condition for the first time. Two SA professionals...
Women and Burnout
Every year, there is much attention and fanfare about International Women’s day. The week that 8 March falls in is filled with news and views about women and the importance of recognising our importance. While some people are not convinced that there should be a day dedicated to thinking about women...
When a Holiday is Not Enough
You’ve just had a 3-week holiday. You should be feeling rested and rejuvenated and ready to take on the world. Instead, after just a few days (or possibly even hours) back in the saddle of your life, you are feeling weak, weary and more than a little weepy. It is a truth not universally acknowledged...
How to Listen to Your Body
Have you ever got to the end of the day and realised that you forgot to have lunch? Or drink any water? Or that you’ve been gritting your teeth so hard that your neck and shoulders have gone into a spasm – and probably have been in it for hours? Sometimes (OK, often), work becomes so busy and...
Burnout: When You Know Better, You Can Do Better
Eight years ago, when I first started to think, talk and write about Burnout, it was a relatively unusual and unique concept. Now, Burnout is the buzzword. Everyone seems to be talking about it and, sadly, lots of people seem to be experiencing it... On the surface it would appear to be Very Bad that...
How to Stay Sane in a World Gone Mad: 6 Ideas to Help You Stay Hopeful
I have started avoiding the news – in any and all forms. Things are so bad out there that it all feels too overwhelming. And, still, the horrors manage to filter through my defenses. Everywhere there is justified outrage about our incompetent-at-best and pathological-at-worst leaders, horror at...
Rebuild Your Resilience to Recover from Burnout
Have you ever found yourself saying, “if one more person asks me to do something I might crack”? Felt as though you are stretched so far that you fear you might snap? Had a to-do list that took on a life of its own, with each item you tick off being replaced by three or four more? All of...
Burnout Makes Us Feel Hapless, Hopeless and Helpless
We all have moments in our lives when we feel a little at sea and as though we have lost our way. When we feel as though we are bobbing around; isolated, lonely and afraid. When we question many of our life choices: work, love, friendships… Like a boat in a storm. We don’t know where we are going...
Sunday Night Blues
You’ve had a wonderful holiday. Resting, relaxing and being in the moment. No worrying about the report that is due, the presentation you need to make at the next meeting, the conversation with your hated boss/client/colleague that you have to have. No work worries at all. But, now, the party is...
Sometimes the Best Thing You Can Do for Yourself Is Nothing
You know that feeling of overwhelm? Of having so much to do that you don’t know where to start? That “there’s-too-much-to-do-and-not-enough-time-to-do-it-in-and-I-have-to-do-more-be-more-say-more-earn-more-play-more-love-more-laugh-more-exercise-more-lose-more-weight-eat-fewer-carbs-and-still-be-happy”...
