Ep 210: Burnout In Perimenopause, How To Give Yourself Permission to Prioritize Your Health w/ Cyclical Living Coach Lizzie York

Has the word burnout crossed your mind or your heart lately? I used to hear this word and wonder about it until I started to FEEL it. It was there when I felt tanked after a workout, when I felt like my afternoons were spent in a fog, when all I was looking forward to was going to bed at night, and when waking up felt like a chore. I wanted to make changes but I had this guilt that weighed heavy on my mind any time I took time for myself. 

If you can relate, it may be a word that you are feeling too and it is certainly a growing part of reality for many women after entering perimenopause. I invited Lizzie York, a cyclical living coach and burnout specialist, onto the show to talk to us about how to give yourself permission to prioritize your health.

 

Tune in to learn:

 

1. How burnout impacts anxiety and depression
2. Why we feel guilty about taking time for ourselves as women and why it is critical
3. 3 layers of healing from burnout with simple, short practices that work

 

Lizzie York specializes in yoga for women's health & is an Oxygen Advantage breath-work & cyclical living coach. After years of prioritizing everything else above her wellbeing, she began experiencing periods of depression, anxiety & panic attacks. Lizzie stumbled into a yoga class looking for relief from life (& herself!) Yoga & cyclical living transformed Lizzie’s life, she became more patient, present & loving towards herself. After experiencing how her happiness rippled into her relationships & the wider world she felt compelled to support other women to prioritize & rediscover themselves. Lizzie created Cyclical Soul as a sanctuary of yoga & community to help busy women discover their inner yogi goddess, savor their life & connect to the people they love from a truly nourished place.
