A Conversation with Selina Barker
In this episode, I share an everyday burnout conversation with Selina Barker.
Selina is a career and life design coach, author, and podcaster dedicated to helping people not only take their dreams seriously but create the life and career they really want to live too.
Over the past 12 years, she has coached a long list of clients from Google directors, to recording artists, best-selling authors, and leaders in the creative and music industry as well as thousands of people globally have been through her online courses.
Selina created the Audible Series 'The Career Change Coach' along with one of my faves, The Monday Crew, a free slice of hope and inspiration delivered to your Monday inbox thanks to her mini-podcast and weekly check-in tool.
She also founded Project Love with Vicki Pavitt, a Love and Dating Coach for Women. Project Loves 'Goodbye, Hello' end-of-year journal has become an annual staple review for so many now. I've ordered my copy of The 'Goodbye 2021, Hello 2022’ journal and can't wait to tuck in. I'm very grateful for it being available worldwide.
It was thanks to Emma Gannon sharing her personal story of burnout and crediting Selina's help and support for her own recovery that led me to discover Selina's latest book, 'Burnt Out: the exhausted person's guide to thriving in a fast-paced world'.
Selina's brilliant book packs a mighty punch. Her breakdown of how burnout affects you, along with the practical guidance you need to start building yourself back up again, is powerful. Despite the immense information this book holds, I particularly love how easy it is to read and digest - because after all, Selina knows what it's like to be burnt out along with all its brain fog and limited energy.
I bloody love this chat, and I just know it's going to help so many listening who either are teetering on the edge of burnout or are in the full throes of some tough days.
Discussed in this episode:
The life experiences that led her to become a life and career change coach.
Her own experience with mini burnouts.
The burnout archetypes we all should know about.
Where stress shows up in the body.
Why we should be using exercise to manage our stress levels and how it brings more energy to our day.
