Let’s face it. As women, we take on a lot! From our household responsibilities of caring for our home and our family, to our work, career and business responsibilities, to wanting to care for ourselves, somewhere in the mix, it can all be too much.
At the peak of Joyel (Joy-L) Crawford’s career, she found herself ignoring the signs of mental, physical and emotional exhaustion. She felt she could push through the demands on her time and get through it all, despite the physical pain she was in. With her desire to keep it all together, everything began to fall apart, in very serious ways.
Joyel wants you to heed to the warning signs of burnout and take care of you. Her story is one to inspire and encourage you to take care of you, pay attention to the signs of physical, emotional and psychological burnout. You do not have to push through when it hurts. In fact, you should not. Here’s what Joyel and I discuss in this week’s Living Fully Show:
In this episode:
- Burnout, stress, exertion, and putting everyone else first and what happens to you and your overall self.

- Joyel also recommended Spire as a tool to measure daily energy and stress
