#167: When was the last time you sat in your car, unable to walk into your house because you knew more responsibilities awaited inside? Or found yourself unable to enjoy simple pleasures because your mind kept racing with work-related thoughts? These are just a couple of the warning signs of burnout that we explore in this deeply personal and timely conversation.Drawing from our experiences as professionals in high-burnout fields—nursing and trauma coaching—we pull back the curtain on what burnout really feels like from the inside. The statistics are staggering: 30-60% of nurses experience burnout (with ER and ICU nurses at highest risk), while 40-60% of mental health professionals face similar challenges, particularly those working with trauma survivors.We dive into the physical manifestations of burnout (chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, frequent illness) alongside the more subtle emotional signs that often go unrecognized until they've reached critical levels. Perhaps most revealing is our honest discussion about compassion fatigue—that moment when dedicated professionals find themselves thinking, "I don't care why you're here, I just want to go home," and the shame that accompanies such thoughts.Cultural factors play a significant role in how we perceive work and rest. While American culture often glorifies overwork, we contrast this with perspectives from European and Mexican work cultures that prioritize boundaries and balance. This conversation explores how these cultural narratives shape our personal expectations and contribute to burnout cycles.Most importantly, we offer practical, tried-and-tested strategies for both preventing and recovering from burnout: controlling workload, prioritizing recovery, establishing clear boundaries, making career adjustments when necessary, and seeking support. The oxygen mask principle becomes our north star—you must secure your own wellbeing before effectively caring for others.Whether you're already experiencing burnout symptoms or want to prevent them, this episode provides validation, perspective, and actionable steps to reclaim your energy and passion. Remember: setting boundaries isn't selfish—it's essential for sustainable service to others.Find Meenu here:https://www.instagram.com/transcendencebymeenu/https://linktr.ee/meenuananthh?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaaI3RMDF6f_0JTwy9njR0EiVtqX0bQK3ym9R8GGZQJueTfFJd6PO6VlGo_aem_vJyDOO55KoylixfkUuhUGAYou can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Artists at work Diane Richard of St. Paul worked for 21 years at the Minneapolis Institute of Art (Mia), and she wants people to know about “Artists at Work: the Mia Staff Art Show.” It's tucked away in the community commons area just past the cafe and the family center (pro tip: you can bring your lunch with you to the exhibit!) The show runs through April 13. Diane explains: You might never have thought about it, but the people who work in museums are often artists themselves — and good ones, too. They work as security guards, and they create public programs, hang art on the walls, help you figure out where you're going, and sell you stuff in the shop. And they work in everything from oil painting to watercolor and prints, ceramic sculpture to embroidery, video and collage. There's even a tarot card created from crop seeds.  One work waves from the wall: the menacing loon flag was security guard Rob McBroom official entry into the state's flag contest.  As I strolled around, Cara O'Connell's portrait of Myrna drew me over. It's from O'Connell's series on caregivers. Myrna is a beatific presence under a halo of robins. For me, the showstopper was Adam White's “It Came with the Room.” White's triptych collage is layered with thousands of cartoon bubbles filled with intriguing messages, many about the hellhound Cerebus. You could spend hours in front of it searching for meaning. Overall, the show gives insight into the mostly unseen hands responsible for MIA's daily operations. What comes through is their passion for art.— Diane RichardThe art of mental health Carla Mansoni is the director of arts and cultural Engagement at CLUES, one of the largest and oldest Latin organizations in Minnesota. She wants people to know about “The Art of Mental Health,” a group show of art created by people who work in the mental health field, curated by Kasia Chojan-Cymerman and Thrace Soryn. The exhibit at the Vine Arts Center in Minneapolis opens this Saturday, Feb. 22, with an artist reception from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. featuring a performance by psychologist/musician Mindy Benowitz. The show runs on Saturdays through March. There is a performance by bluegrass Americana trio Echo Trail on March 15.  Carla says: The idea is to focus on the mental health professionals who also use art to heal themselves. This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase the diversity of art forms and how art and culture also heals the healer, elevating the humanity of those working in mental health spaces. — Carla MansoniSEENJennifer Bowen, founder and director of the Minnesota Prison Writing Workshop, was deeply moved by the exhibit “SEEN” currently on display at the Weisman Art Museum on the University of Minnesota campus in Minneapolis. Curated by Emily Baxter of We Are All Criminals, this show is half a decade in the making. Seven artists partnered with seven incarcerated artists to create installations. The show runs through May 18, with a panel conversation planned for Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 6 p.m. Some installations respond to incarcerated life, such as work by Sarith Peou and Carl Flink, which reflect the steps of traditional Cambodian dance Peou used to keep himself active and healthy while on COVID lockdown in his cell.  Jennifer says: There's another exhibit of a poet named Brian, who's got a massive chandelier of bird cages hanging from the ceiling with some of his poetry being read and voiced over by himself and other folks that he lives with. And I think the title of the poem is “We Can't Hear Ourselves Sing,” and it's about the kind of chaos and cacophony of life inside a prison. It was the first thing I saw when I walked into the exhibit. And it literally took my breath away, the way that it speaks metaphorically not just to the pain that incarceration causes, but to the kind of human need to still find beauty in the midst of that pain. But then there are other artists who chose to think about what the future would look like, or what healing might look like. There's an artist named Ronald who has a garden reminiscent of the garden his grandfather grew when he was in Detroit that's meant to be this kind of healing look forward. It's a really heavy but beautiful exhibit.  And one thing this exhibit does is offers the community, not only a chance to listen on phones to the artists' voices and to see interviews, but it also gives the public a chance to write notes to them that will go back to them. — Jennifer Bowen

Here is some good police news. Here is a tale of lessons learned from past mistakes. Here, come and listen to ways institutions, organizations, work cultures and people always have the potential to change for the better. Bac Luu, a leader with the Los Angeles County Department of Mental Health (LACDMH), is heading a program that is embedded in the offices of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD). In this episode he takes us into a world where LACDMH and LAPD have forged a beneficial partnership decades in the making. It is most importantly a benefit to the community as this partnership makes the job of policing and the job of helping people in crisis a chance to have more positive outcomes. It all began back in 1993, when mental health staff came to work side by side with police in a program called Systemwide Mental Health Assessment Response Teams (SMART) and a companion program, Case Assessment Management Program (CAMP). These programs bring to the streets and into homes, a team of a Police Officer and a Mental Health Professional where it is so often needed. In the last dozen years this approach has grown with Los Angeles, California looked at around the nation and the world as a model for creating important teamwork. Time has seen these teams grow in this City with expanded hours of joint training and with a deepening awareness of what both policing and mental health have to offer one another. Bac Luu is a leader we can learn from and who has built on the accomplishments of a pioneer in the field, Chuck Lennon. We can only hope that such a successful partnering grows in the coming years as the need for the teamwork only is increasing as a benefit to all communities. The LACDMH 24/7 access number for help is 1-800-854-7771 The National Suicide Crisis Line is #988

Should I work with a mental health professional or a spiritual practitioner? What considerations should I take into account? How do they provide different kinds of support?These are some questions I find myself asking at various points of my journey – both as a mystical practitioner and as someone who also seeks out support. In conversations with clients and students, I find that others are asking them, too. And so, I invited my dear friend, Martha Alter Hines to share her insights and her experiences. For twenty years, Martha worked as a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and body worker prior to answering her soul's calling to offer spiritual guidance using energy work and astrology.We discussed both what to expect when receiving spiritual vs. mental health support, the intersections and the distinctions between the two, and how to take responsibility for your own spiritual and mental health journeys.If you'd like to go deeper, check out these offerings from Martha: Workshop: Trauma Informed Basics for Astrologers & HealersWorkshop: Virgo & Your Personal TempleConversation with Heather Ensworth & Kristina Lea on YouTubeThe Wholeness Way Series on YouTubeI also encourage you to check out Martha's sessions, courses, and subscribe to Martha's amazing YouTube channel!Here's Martha's bio: Martha Alter Hines, MSW, is a mom, an author, a healer, and an astrologer. Martha has twenty years of experience as a clinical social worker, psychotherapist, and body worker. She has primarily studied Evolutionary Astrology with Ari Moshe Wolfe and Heather Ensworth as well.Martha bridges her trauma informed clinical background with her astrological knowledge, as well as a deep understanding of ourselves as beings of the cosmos, Earth, divine, heart, mind, and so much more.Martha was born in Thailand and grew up in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Kenya, and the United States. Therefore, she has a deep passion for alleviating the suffering of our world.Martha is dedicated to serving our world, to helping us each to thrive, and to supporting us to come back into the infinite wisdom and healing that is our natural state of being.

As someone who's battled a lifelong fear of rejection and anxiety, we'll discuss how curiosity and meaningful inquiries have shaped my journey as a coach and therapist.
