Lora Cheadle: From Betrayal to Burnout

Decode Your Burnout (formerly Optimize Your Life)

Do you feel like you put too much effort and energy into other people's needs and not enough towards your own?

In this week’s episode of the Decode Your Burnout Podcast, we have Lora Cheadle as a guest. Lora had two major burnouts in her life. The first was when she had two young children at home, a husband who traveled often, and three grandparents in the final stages of Alzheimer's, cancer, and emphysema. The second was when she started to accomplish a lot but didn't feel fulfilled and lost motivation.

Lora shares how she took a hard look at her priorities and began to give herself more attention. By letting go of other pursuits, she was able to focus on things that were important to her—things that led her to new passions.

She also elaborates on the following tips on burnout:

- Oftentimes, burnout is not simply the result of overwork; it can be the result of betrayal.

- Too often we go after things we think we're supposed to want, but they don't actually make us happy.

- Learning how to speak up and advocate for yourself (after you have figured out what it is you want) is essential to healing burnout.
