NWP Episode 259: Rachael Todd on the 7 Types of Burnout & How to Heal from Hustle Culture
After working long hours as a Wall Street consultant, overcommitting herself to friends and colleagues, and putting her health on the backburner, Rachael developed an autoimmune disorder that forced her to slow down. The daily gym sessions, people-pleasing social life, lack of sleep and nonexistent lunch hours had finally caught up with her, and it took three years to return to homeostasis. During the time away from her career she began putting herself first, which opened her eyes to the flaws in our culture, a culture that puts success ahead of peoples’ health and unique pursuits of personal fulfillment. Rachael committed to reconnecting with her true self and began evaluating how the vicious cycle of overworking perpetuates itself in our culture.
Rachael was inspired to start Return To Flow to help burnt out professionals break free from our hustle culture and find balance and fulfilment — whatever that looks like for them. Listen to today’s episode to learn more about the 7 types of burnout and how to heal from hustle culture!
