Beyond the Funeral: Why Preparing for Death Is an Act of Love- conversation with Nook O Dea

Today on ENDURES, I speak to Nook O Dea, founder of adios.au. What started as an "If I Die Folder" tucked away in a drawer became something far more meaningful: Adios. In this episode, we explore why preparing for death isn't morbid, but one of the greatest gifts we can leave the people we love. From passports and birth certificates to funeral songs and final wishes, discover how planning ahead can bring peace, clarity and even a little humour to life's only certainty https://adios.au/ [https://adios.au/] Join me on June 25 for a FREE Endures pause & reset https://suzannerath.com.au/pause-reset-webinar-681542 [https://suzannerath.com.au/pause-reset-webinar-681542] https://events.humanitix.com/writing-the-next-chapter [https://events.humanitix.com/writing-the-next-chapter] - Rotary Club of Empowering Women & Girls, July 14th meeting.  Beyond the Peak: My keynote live in Cairns, in aid of the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.

The Hidden Habits Driving High Performers to Burnout

You've probably been rewarded for the very habits that are now exhausting you. In this episode, I explore why high achievers are uniquely vulnerable to burnout and why discipline isn't always the answer. Discover the antidotes to over-functioning, constant striving, and living in permanent overdrive. https://www.fastcompany.com/91535974/14-high-achiever-habits-that-lead-straight-to-burnout-burnout-career-advice [https://www.fastcompany.com/91535974/14-high-achiever-habits-that-lead-straight-to-burnout-burnout-career-advice] Join me on June 25 for a FREE Endures pause & reset https://suzannerath.com.au/pause-reset-webinar-681542 [https://suzannerath.com.au/pause-reset-webinar-681542] https://events.humanitix.com/writing-the-next-chapter [https://events.humanitix.com/writing-the-next-chapter] - Rotary Club of Empowering Women & Girls, July 14th meeting.  Beyond the Peak: My keynote live in Cairns, in aid of the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.

When Accountability Becomes Over-Responsibility

Accountability does not equal taking responsibility for everyone and everything. But many leaders are burning out because they take responsibility for everything. In this episode, I explore the fine line between compassion and enabling, and why caring deeply doesn’t mean carrying indefinitely. I share how over-functioning in leaders often creates under-functioning in others, and how to recognise when responsibility needs to be transferred back to another adult.

Four Lessons in Resilience From the Trail

In today’s episode, I explore what trail running and ultrarunning can teach us about psychological resilience and why resilience is far more than simply “toughing it out.” We dive into four powerful capacities: accepting reality, adapting and problem-solving, deliberately embracing challenge, and learning to coexist with discomfort. https://www.trailrunnermag.com/training/training-psychological-resilience-in-trail-running-and-ultrarunning/ [https://www.trailrunnermag.com/training/training-psychological-resilience-in-trail-running-and-ultrarunning/] Join me on June 25 for a FREE Endures pause & reset https://suzannerath.com.au/pause-reset-webinar-681542 [https://suzannerath.com.au/pause-reset-webinar-681542] https://events.humanitix.com/writing-the-next-chapter [https://events.humanitix.com/writing-the-next-chapter] - Rotary Club of Empowering Women & Girls, July 14th meeting.  Beyond the Peak: My keynote live in Cairns, in aid of the Far North Queensland Hospital Foundation.
