EPISODE 090 | Reducing Chronic Stress and Burnout to Transform Work Culture

Human Amplified

A huge part of our human condition is going to work. Let’s face it — for most of us, we spend more time with our colleagues and co-workers than our families. But, what if we imagined a better way?

A non-traditional wellness company based in Nashville, Tenn. called TRILUNA, is doing just that. Co-founders and Co-CEOs Elizabeth Moore and Ashley Brooke James started TRILUNA after hustle culture literally made them sick.

Both Elizabeth and Ashley met while obtaining health coaching and yoga certifications after quitting their corporate jobs.

Now, you can often find them leading workshops, hosting festivals, speaking at conferences, and executing panels about the power of stress management and self-care to prevent burnout.

Typically, Ashley joins Elizabeth in these types of discussions, but we did record this episode during a particularly stressful point during the Omicron surge here in Tennessee. So, today on Human Amplified, you’ll be hearing from a solo Elizabeth Moore.

This episode is for you if hustle culture just isn’t cutting it anymore and you want to educate yourself on how to say no to it. In other words, if you’re going through the motions of the grind day in and day out and it’s detracting from your life — as it is for so many others as evidenced by The Great Resignation — listen in as guest Elizabeth Moore empowers us to renegotiate our relationship to wellness, failure, work, our work environment, and our co-workers.

She explains the impacts of chronic stress and burnout on our bodies and our communities, including our work communities.

From this episode, you’ll learn:

-What an unhealthy or sick environment is

-How to recognize stress in your body

-How to know when stress turns to burnout

-When to set boundaries around your times of diminished capacity to produce

-How to use vulnerability to change culture

-And, what the hard conversations are that need to occur so we can start shifting expectations around stress and burn out at work

TRIGGER WARNING: This episode does come with a trigger warning. To get the full context of why a non-traditional approach to wellness can be needed to foster healthier change, we discuss Elizabeth’s journey with body dysmorphia and an eating disorder in detail.
