Episode Title: Barriers to Change: The burnout conversation.
Guest: Pollyanna Darling, Author of Bedridden to Buff and advocate for environmental and personal transformation
Episode Overview: In this episode of She Changes, I sit down with Pollyanna Darling to explore one of the most challenging barriers to change: burnout. Together, we share our experiences with burnout, discuss how it affects our ability to create meaningful change and emphasise why being kind to ourselves during difficult periods is crucial. We dive into practical techniques that have helped us manage and prevent burnout, from mindfulness practices to setting boundaries and recognising when it’s time to put things down for self-care.
We also reference the work of Sarah McCrum, whose insights on relaxation, energy, money, and well-being have inspired many to rethink their relationship with productivity and stress.
