#299 Selina Barker: End Of Year Exhausti...

Emma Gannon
About this episode

Winter lockdown emergency episode! This episode was recorded Live on Zoom with an audience! I chatted to the brilliant life design coach Selina Barker as a sort of emergency winter lockdown episode on self-care, burnout and overwhelm.


It's the end of the year, and a lot of us are feeling low on energy, sad, depleted and overwhelmed. In this episode we discuss the importance of acknowledging our anxiety, how to plan when we can't plan, the myth of "the perfect balance", how to switch off when we can't go on a proper holiday,​ how to nurture yourself, the act of tender discipline, and designing a life you love, even in the hardest of times. 


You can pre-order Selina's book BURNT OUT now: https://amzn.to/2IL4MC8


And a huge thanks to Natasha Russell who helped run this live event with me, if you are looking for help with virtual events, visit her website here: https://natasharussell.co.uk/
