FRAZZLED

Is your space stealing your energy?

It's been two weeks since I moved into 'the shed' and it's already making a massive difference to my energy, my clarity and my work. I didn't realise how much I was making do and compromising in my workspace in the house, until I left it.  I didn't realise how much being actually in the garden, would make to my mood, until it began to shift. And I didn't realise how much the actual separation between home and work would make to how I feel. I'm not advocating everyone goes back to the office, there's no way you'd back and working in an office and around people every day ever again.  But do you know how much your work space is giving or stealing your energy? I didn't, until now! Kelly www.kellyswingler.com #Burnoutology #FRAZZLED #Workspace #Environment #Energy

Let's stop glamorising self-employment - it's f*cking hard

Leaving corporate and starting your own business is hard. Add burnout into the mix, and leaving corporate to start a business with your confidence at rock bottom, your decision making abilities having left you, and the fear of reaching burnout again meaning that you don't want to take as many risks or push yourself too hard, then starting your own business can feel like trying to walk a tightrope with one broken leg and both hands tied behind your back. The good news is that it can be done, and like me you can find yourself completely and utterly unemployable and loving what you're building and creating - but, the promises of this business building being easy, glamorous, and frameworks that promise you overnight success, don't help - especially if your burnout isn't being factored in your business growth, your strategy, your energy levels, and everything else that burnout impacts in your life. I'm talking about this, and more, in this week's episode of FRAZZLED. And the quiz I mention can be found here. [https://kelly-wa8ktdws.scoreapp.com/] Same time next week.

Let's get FRAZZLED!

OMG - I CANNOT even begin to tell you how excited I am for this episode, although thankfully, I do tell you how excited I am in this episode, or it's pretty pointless!! But, yes, FRAZZLED is back, so let's talk about why. Let's see how many times I can frustrate myself by using the word 'journey', and lets see if this is going to be, once again, a totally unedited, unscripted, and almost possibly, slightly unhinged podcast, now that I'm back, with the real purpose of the show, and not some 'advice' I was given by a coach trying to box me in. So you fabulous podsquad - let's get back to where we blong shall we? Welcome back to FRAZZLED, with me, your host, Kelly Swingler. www.kellyswingler.com

The exhaustion of influencers

You want to coach. Burnout coaching is where you want to be working, but it's exhausting. You're spending time and money on growing your business, but you're not getting the growth, and your feed is full of influencers making a ton of money, and they don't have your knowledge or expertise. So what do you? You create more content, you consume more content, you need to be visible, you need the business growth, and you want to keep up with the influencers who make all of this look so easy. In this uncut, unscripted, unedited Burnoutology the podcast, I'm talking about cliques, cheerleaders and credibility, and why followers don't always equal income. Kelly www.kellyswingler.com

The business of coaching

When did coaching become less of a practice, and less client focused, and more about five figure months and stuffing everyone into groups? How is the 'business of coaching' adding stress and strain to those who have left corporate to become coaches after burnout? And what needs to change if we want to make coaching, as a profession, client focused again, where it's less about big bucks, and more about client growth? I'm talking about this and more in this weeks uncut, unedited and unscripted episode of Burnoutology the podcast. Kelly www.kellyswingler.com
