Who doesn’t struggle with Burnout? You're lucky if that hasn’t been a part of your life, it sure has been mine & my next guest.

In this episode, I interview Acupuncturist & Burnout Coach @cait_donovan. Growing up, Cait wanted to be a doctor. To say she is driven is an understatement. But her first few months in college, she realized she hated it and a course on the sociology of Medical School & a minor in Eastern Religion provided a wake up call & shift in perspective. Guided by a professor to check out Chinese Medicine as an alternative forever changed the course of her life.

After years of struggling w. perfectionism & people pleasing by way of accomplishing big goals for some bragging rights like being the youngest person in her TCM program, the first fertility acupuncturist in Poland, where she also learned to speak the language fluently in a short amount of time, & she just casually opened her own thriving private practice at 27, she realized all of it did not serve her, despite the fact that she was “killing it” but in fact bought her “a ticket for the burnout cycle and rode that ride for nearly a decade” She was constantly tired, frustrated & irritable for starters. A deeper look led her to realize she was in fact, burnt out.

We discuss what it actually means to be “burnt out”. The creeping symptoms like irritability that may be tossed away & not associated with deeper issues & what it means for your short and long term mental and physical health. Cait’s style is a blend being matter of fact with empathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine and Life Coaching. She hosts a podcast “Fried:The Burnout Podcast” & her soon to be released book “The Bouncebackability Factor” is due to come out later this year.
