"It's okay to not want to do (the inner work). And nobody wants to do it and it doesn't have to be fun to make it worthwhile."
Welcome to Episode #23 of The Out of Your Mind Podcast. Thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to show up for yourself and tune in.
In this week’s episode, Sara Fischer is revealing all of her insight on burnout recovery and cultivating more joy in your day-to-day. There is a common misconception that burnout is a passing stress that will go away on its own, or that you can heal with a few deep breaths, a day off, or even a vacation. But the truth is, true burnout requires true healing, deep personal healing, and it is something you need to cultivate over time through practice. So if you have ever felt like a vacation is just not enough for you, this episode is for you!
Sara is the founder and CEO of Innerwork Institute, and runs a flagship program called Inner Professor, helping academics recover from burnout and rekindle the joy in their work. She is a Ph.D. candidate herself and through her own burnout recovery journey during her Ph.D., became inspired to share her story and the tools that she used with others in a similar position.
