Podcasts about avoiding burnout

In this episode, I share some thoughts on managing your energy and avoiding burnout—both mentally and physically. Tune in as I talk about the importance of staying fresh and sharp, creating routines that help you progress, and knowing when it's time to recharge your batteries. Sometimes the best thing you can do for yourself and your horse is step back, freshen up, and come back with a better mindset. Remember, it's the little things you do on a consistent basis, over a long period of time, that make a big difference. Just focus on winning the day and being in a better position when it's over than when it started.

Every creative starts in “yes mode.” Say yes to every project, every client, every opportunity, because that's how you grow. But at some point, that pace stops working. In this minisode, Jen Talley, Courtney Wiesel, Alli K Designs, and the Off the Walls Murals team share what changed when they started getting more selective. Turning down projects that don't fit. Referring work instead of forcing it. Protecting time, energy, and family life. These are the decisions that shape a business you can actually keep up with. If you've been stretched thin or stuck taking on work that doesn't feel like you anymore, this conversation brings you back to what matters, and shows how saying no creates space for better work, better clients, and a business that fits your life.In this episode, you'll hear:Why Jen Talley shifted from saying yes to everything to choosing projects that actually fit her life and directionWhat changes when you stop trying to be everything to everyone and start building around your strengthsHow Alli K Designs handles out-of-scope requests by referring, delegating, or bringing in the right people instead of doing it allHow understanding your market helps you say no with confidence, and avoid work that won't sell or scaleThe mindset shift that helps you price, choose, and operate like your ideal client.The Off the Walls Murals team's approach to setting work hours, protecting family time, and keeping the business sustainableHit rewind on these episodes:Selling on Marketplace in 2026 with Jen Talley of Perfectly Imperfect Furniture RefinishingComing Back From a Creative Break with Courtney Weisel of Steel Birch StudiosSetting Your Prices as an Artist with Alli K DesignBuilding a Creative Business with Your Best Friend feat.

Welcome multi‑platinum Nashville session drummer, Aksel Coe! Since moving to Nashville in 2018, Aksel has quickly made a name for himself as one of the city's most sought-after session drummers, having recorded on many of today's top country, pop, and indie tracks. Recent recording credits include Ella Langley (ACM Song of the Year 'Choosin' Texas'), Role Model, Holly Humberstone, Zach Bryan, Sierra Ferrell, Willow Avalon, K.

We dive right into Aksel's diverse musical upbringing and his journey from the West Coast to Nashville. Aksel shares invaluable advice and perspective on the home recording process — from creating efficient workflows on and off the drums, when and when not to cheap out on gear, and how to create and effectively market your own sample or loop pack. We discuss avoiding burnout, Nashville's shifting studio landscape, and of course, his acting debut in the 2025 biopic 'Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.'

Free will might be smaller than you hoped, but more useful than you imagined. This conversation with Stephen Porges is about a quiet shift in perspective. We are taught to believe that emotional strength means overriding fear, suppressing anger, and forcing calm. But a different story is available. One where stress is not weakness, pain is not always just pain, and emotions are not commands but signals shaped by physiology, memory, and perceived safety. In that story, awareness becomes agency. The moment you notice your internal state without instantly obeying it, a door opens. Not a dramatic door. A small one. But small doors change lives. This episode explores the psychology of emotional regulation, the biology of threat, and the possibility that resilience is less about control and more about creating the conditions where wiser choices can emerge. See reactions as signals from a system. Create safety before expecting transformation. Practice awareness to widen your range of choice. SPONSORS

Text me a question I might answer through the showYou're in a leadership role and the anger bubbles up.  Or . . .you're the subject of the leader experiencing anger.  Learn about anger in leadership as well as transformational leadership from the best selling authors of the Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Workbook for Leaders: How Improving your Mental Health is Essential to Avoiding Burnout and Leading More Effectively, Dr. Julian Barling PhD and Dr. Simon A. Rego, PsyD.    I have started sharing my podcasts on YouTube as well - find this one under @AlexandraMillerClark.  Some gems I learned from this interview include: * just a little bit of anger can be motivating* showing anxiety can be more effective than showing anger as a leader . . . But not too much!  *sometimes it helps to say “I don't know” or “I'm sorry”*it's good to prepare for future crises as leaders*leaders who show anger are just humans with a range of emotionsSupport the showThis show was created with love on my volunteer time.   One small gift you can give me back is to take the time to leave the show a comment and rating on iTunes.  You can also support the production costs of the show by buying me a $3 coffee at buymeacoffee.com/dralexandra.  I will be encouraged by your support, and thank you!

Do you ever feel like you're hustling non-stop just to keep up with your current delivery—and then, suddenly, your sales pipeline dries up? Or maybe you go from feast to famine: booking lots of work, then radio silence, then panic? I've been there. In fact, it's something I hear a lot from consultants and coaches so today I'm sharing the straightforward sales technique I've used for the last 10 years to sign new corporate clients every single month - even when things get busy. Most of us get stuck in a cycle: when we're flush with delivery, we go all-in for our clients, leaving sales activity until we're running on fumes, promising ourselves we'll tackle it "tomorrow." Before you know it, there's no new pipeline… and the cycle starts over. Why? Three key reasons: Pricing: Are you charging enough to justify your time, or is every new client eating into space you should use for business development? Forgetting Your Real Job: You're not just a consultant/coach/trainer—you're also the lead salesperson in your business. Reactive, Not Proactive: You spend your best energy on client delivery, leaving sales for when you're already exhausted (and it shows). The Simple Technique That Changes Everything Ready? Here it is: 10 Before 10. Every day, before 10am, complete 10 meaningful sales activities. That's it. I started doing this in my very first corporate role - and have continued ever since: It puts your pipeline first, not clients' urgent requests. You build the habit and "sales muscle" by practicing daily, not just when the panic sets in. By focusing on true sales activities (not just tinkering with your LinkedIn profile!), you consistently generate leads and stay visible. What counts as a "sales activity"? Proactively reaching out to new contacts or decision makers Sending follow-ups or chasing invoices Writing or sending proposals Anything that promotes direct sales action - NOT just passive content posting How to Make It Work for You Block an Hour Each Morning. No emails, no delivery work - just you and your pipeline. Define Your Sales Activities.  Treat Sales Like Your Most Important Client. Because it is.

Episode 331 is all about wellness, burnout prevention, and our very honest self-care confessions. In this show, the Level Up Latina ladies get real through a few fun questions our moderator threw our way. We share our fake self-care habits, all the ways self-care does work for us, and how we've taken it to the next level to thrive.

If you care about elite golf performance, you can't ignore your golf mindset or your golf mental game. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Michael Lardon—a psychiatrist and performance expert who has worked with Olympians, major champions, and elite competitors—to explore what truly separates good players from those capable of sustained excellence. Together, we go beyond surface-level routines and visualization to clarify the difference between sports psychology and sports psychiatry, unpack what anxiety actually is from a biological and nervous system perspective, and explain why so many golfers sabotage their performance by time-traveling into the past or future. You'll learn why outcome goals create pressure while process goals unlock performance, how to channel intensity without tipping into volatility, and why positive obsession, creativity, rest, and play are essential to sustaining elite golf performance over years—not just one hot stretch. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between sports psychology vs sports psychiatry—and why it matters What anxiety is (physiology, emotions, thoughts) and why it becomes chronic How "time traveling" creates anxiety—and how presence dissolves it Positive obsession vs destructive obsession—and how to sustain passion for decades How to use the creative mind (visual, rhythm, feel) to access the zone Why the best performers are humble, curious, and mastery-driven The role of rest, recovery, humor, and play in elite longevity If you want a stronger golf mental game, more emotional control under pressure, and a deeper understanding of how to access the zone on demand, this conversation delivers both the science and the strategy.

It arises when your mind leaves the present moment and starts time traveling into the past or future, creating a gap between where you are and where your thoughts are. Elite golf performance is built on process goals, not outcome goals. Winning, making the cut, or shooting a number are results; committing fully to each shot is the only controllable path to those results. Positive obsession fuels mastery; destructive obsession fuels burnout. The difference is whether your intensity is rooted in passion and love for the craft—or fear, validation, and imbalance. The creative mind unlocks the zone. Great players move from left-brain planning (distance, wind, lie) to right-brain creation (see it, feel it, rhythm it) before executing with trust and "no brain." Fun and pressure cannot coexist at full volume. Reconnecting to enjoyment, perspective, and passion lowers anxiety and opens the door to freer, more instinctive performance. Key Quotes: "So if I can be fully present, there is no anxiety, if you will. Now, not an easy thing to do… but where should my mind be? It should be in the gap between two thoughts." "If you want the good grade, you don't think, 'I'm gonna make the good grade.' What you think about is, 'This is the material in front of me and I need to master it.' And if I do that, that translates into a good grade." "Fun and being pathologically nervous—they're not possible together. If you're laughing and you're having fun, we open up the avenue of really doing good things." "Those who know do not think. And those who think do not know." "We're the noisiest passenger of our own ship. We think we know what's going on—we think we control it—but not really. Our unconscious mind is processing things all the time."

If you've ever thought, "I want to grow, but I refuse to burn out," this episode is for you. I'm breaking down what it actually looks like to scale quickly (from $120k to $800k to $1M+), without hustling yourself into the ground and without pretending it's always clean and cute. We'll talk about: Why trying to avoid burnout at all costs can secretly stall your growth The messy, very human seasons where you do work more and how to clean them up fast "Good problems" (aka champagne problems) that come with more money, more clients, more visibility How to build the self-trust and support systems that let you hold more without collapsing The difference between hustle culture and "pleasure culture" in your business This is not a 5-step strategy episode it's the deeper conversation around self-trust, support, and being willing to experience discomfort on purpose so you can have the business, money, and life you actually want. If you've been bracing, self-protecting, or low-key trying to control your way out of ever feeling overwhelmed, plug this in, take me on your walk or drive, and let's rewire the way you think about scaling.

The final episode of Your 2026 Body Blueprint brings the entire series together.  In Part 1, Ted explained why most men over 40 age faster than they should.     In Part 2, he broke down why weight loss alone doesn't equal health.     In Part 3, he showed how men should train to preserve muscle and strength with minimal time.     In Part 4, he explained why cardio and cardiovascular fitness are essential for longevity—even if you already lift.   And  In Part 5, he shared a clear, evidence-based approach to nutrition that supports metabolic health, longevity, and fat loss without quitting your social life or eliminating foods you enjoy.   And in Part 6, he talked the most underestimated drivers of how you age: sleep, stress, and lifestyle.   Now, in Part 7, Ted explains how to organize everything into a realistic, year-long system built around one outcome goal—fat loss—and the process goals that actually make it achievable. This episode focuses on training structure, cardio decisions, nutrition fundamentals, recovery, measurement, and the behavioral shifts required to make progress stick over time.  You'll learn:  Why choosing one outcome goal leads to better long-term results than chasing multiple goals  How to structure strength training for fat loss while preserving muscle after 40  How calorie and protein tracking simplify fat loss and improve food choices   Why data tracking prevents emotional decision-making and plateaus  How recovery and stress management determine whether fat loss succeeds or fails  Why identity and habit reprogramming matter more than willpower  What Ted discusses in this episode:  (00:00) Introduction  (01:47) Setting Realistic Goals for Long-Term Success  (05:19) Effective Training Strategies for Fat Loss  (12:36) The Role of Cardio in Your Fitness Journey  (16:27) Mastering Nutrition for Optimal Results  (22:03) The Importance of Tracking and Measurement  (24:30) Avoiding Burnout and Ensuring Recovery  (27:18) Behavioral Change and Long-Term Success  (30:48) Client Success Story: Chad's Transformation  (33:15) Final Thoughts and Encouragement

In this episode, Kat addresses the familiar "January tension"—the conflict between feeling ambitious about new goals while simultaneously exhausted from the past year. She explores what "sustainability" actually means for artists, moving beyond the buzzword to examine what emotionally and financially supports a creative career. Kat shares insights from Vadim Zeland's book Reality Transurfing, discussing the concept of "pendulums"—energy structures built on collective beliefs (like the pressure to post daily on social media) that feed off our energy. She explains why feeding these pendulums is a losing game and how true magic happens when you prioritize joy and flow over algorithms. Finally, Kat breaks down the difference between the "glamour" of the art world (museum shows, viral posts) and the reality of what actually pays the bills, encouraging listeners to conduct a "Sustainable Studio Audit" to track income, time, and energy costs. Key Takeaways: The January Tension: Navigating the split between wanting to force your career forward and acknowledging deep exhaustion Understanding Pendulums: How collective beliefs (like "real artists suffer" or "you must hustle 24/7") become energy vampires that distract us from our true desires Reality Transurfing: Insights from Vadim Zeland's book on how energy flows naturally when you do what you truly want, rather than what you think you should do Glamour vs. Reality: Why the things that look successful (fancy gallery representation, viral reels) are often not the things that pay the bills (print sales, teaching, direct sales) Imposter Syndrome: Overcoming the feeling that you aren't "legitimate" if your business is scrappy or doesn't fit the traditional art world model The Sustainable Studio Audit: A practical exercise to list your income sources, estimate time invested, and rate energy cost (low, medium, high) to eliminate what drains you Resources Mentioned: Reality Transurfing by Vadim Zeland Sponsor: This episode is brought to you by Grapevine.

SUMMARY: In this episode, Aaron Hovivian and Terryn Turner unpack a critical hiring mistake many growing businesses make: treating every hire the same. They explain why some roles require speed while others demand patience. When teams are drowning, burning out, or relying on excessive overtime, especially in lower-cost or entry-level roles, waiting for the "perfect" hire creates more damage than moving quickly. In these situations, hiring fast relieves pressure, protects top performers, and restores operational stability. The conversation contrasts this with high-impact leadership roles, where hiring slowly is essential. Senior positions carry cultural, financial, and strategic weight, and rushing them can destabilize an organization. Using real client examples, they emphasize pacing hires based on urgency, role impact, and business stage. The episode reinforces a practical ops principle: scale by protecting your people, hiring with intention, and matching hiring speed to the level of risk each role carries.   Minute by Minute: 00:00 Introduction and Weather Talk 02:09 Hiring Strategies: Fast vs. Slow 09:08 The Importance of Timing in Hiring 14:55 Avoiding Burnout and Managing Team Capacity 21:02 Optimizing Roles and Responsibilities
