From Burnout to Success with Sheila Heard Mar 27, 2021

Show notes

Sheila Heard is the founder of Mediavandals, a creative agency focused on helping established business owners create a more sustainable & scalable company. The goal is to generate recurring revenue with minimal input from the business owner, so they can enjoy more freedom.

She got her start providing creative services to the music industry, and by 2018, she came close to packing it all in and walking away. At times, the music industry can be more than demanding.

She shares what her experience with burnout was like.

She discusses the practices she has put into place to avoid burnout in the future such as her morning routine and how she disconnects from her electronics.

Another boundary she has put into place is with clients. They are made aware of how and when they have contact with her. She has strict hours and takes weekends off to rejuvenate. She has also hired a virtual assistant to help with her work load so that she can enjoy a balanced lifestyle.

One of the tips she shares with us is - talk to someone! If you are struggling with burnout or mental health issues - have that conversation with someone supportive. Everyone experiences stress and possibly burnout but it is very difficult to do this journey alone.

Thank you Sheila for sharing your story!

What is Overwhelm Costing You? Mar 12, 2021

Show notes

What Overwhelm Really Costing You?

You’ve got so much to do that you don’t even know where to begin. You start to panic but you keep adding more to your never ending to do list, but getting nothing accomplished. You feel like the world is closing in around you.

You just want the world to stop so you can take a break!

I think we have all felt this some time in our life!

This is Overwhelm

Overwhelmed is defined as “to bury or drown beneath a huge mass”.

Even though when we are experiencing overwhelm, we sometimes feel that there is no end in sight but there are strategies that can help you understand, address and cope with overwhelm.

We all need moments to regroup, gain clarity, prioritize and breathe.

Take some time to sit in silence, meditate, journal or do a (EFT) tapping session. Take the dog for a walk! Call a friend to chat. Do something easy and simple – but just stop!
