Season 9: The Collective Season
The Collective Season: Stress Management + Mindfulness with Kay Burnham
Podcast Audio Only:
We are embracing the collective in season 9 and bringing in coaches and experts to discuss topics impacting your career development and decision-making.
In this episode, Kay Burnham, Leadership and Well-being Coach, gives us all the stress and mindfulness tips to help you manage your life and career better.
Let me tell you, the amount of "ah-ha" moments I had in the episode is significant. Turns out, I've been doing this mindfulness thing better than I thought!
This is a great episode for people who are skeptical about mindfulness, meditation, and its associated practices. I've been skeptical for many years, but Kay has started to change my mind.
Most notably, the difference between self-care and aftercare. You're likely engaging in aftercare THINKING it's self-care. I appreciated Kay describing the difference and giving examples of what each looks like in practice.
One of my biggest takeaways from this episode was Kay saying, "You're always going to have stress." And we need to learn to engage with stress in a healthy way. She shares her story and tips to help you manage day-to-day stress better.
