Ep 10 - The Burnout miniseries with Katie Maycock (part 1)

Welcome to the Burnout miniseries with the incredible and delightful Katie Maycock!

After the success of her first podcast experience we decided to bring 

Katie back for a rapid fire break down of the mythical world of Burnout.

If you haven't listened to Katie’s first visit to the podcast, here is a little 

bit about who she is and where she comes from...

Katie Maycock spent the first eighteen years of her life living with anxiety. She called it various things such as eating disorders, personality traits, digestive issues, fear, and/or life. Not once did she acknowledge she was stressed or might have anxiety. Having spent her early twenties working in corporate sales as a Type A individual that couldn’t get enough of the fast pace industry she worked in. At 25, everything changed. Going from being super productive and an efficient machine, functioning with only 5 - 6 hours of sleep a night, exercising six days a week and routinely working twelve plus hours, to not being able to get out of bed. Katy spent the next few years developing and refining techniques to help break the cycle of stress and anxiety. She created practical tools that, to this day, help keep stress and anxiety to a minimum. 

In her words she finally Got Her Sh*t Together. 

Now her goal is to give back. 

Over the course of 10 short episodes, brought to you over the next 10 days, we discuss what exactly is Burnout? The different symptoms and stages of Burnout and ways to keep yourself healthy. You may be surprised to find out some of the symptoms of Burnout and how common they can be…  

We found these fast insights really interesting and fun to record. I hope you will enjoy a few rapid fire podcasts over the next few days as much as our longer form episodes which will continue as normal next week.  

In This Episode, We Cover:

• What is Burnout?
• A brief introduction to the six stages of burnout
• The need for sleep
• Katie touches on anxiety and apathy
