27. Stop Tolerating a Life That Drains You (Signs It’s Time for a Life Change)

27. Stop Tolerating a Life That Drains You (Signs It’s Time for a Life Change)

You’re successful, but something’s missing. What is it? You’re doing everything right, and life’s really good, but for whatever reason, you’re not fully happy. Or maybe you realize that a big part of your life - your job - is slowly depleting you. Maybe you can tell that something needs to change, but you’re not sure what. This episode will help you answer questions like: * Why am I unhappy at a really good job? * Should I leave my stable job? * What if I’ve built a great career, but now it doesn’t feel right? * What if I don’t want to quit my job, but can’t keep going the same way anymore? * How do I figure out what I actually want my life to look like? So many of us find ourselves in this place, but don’t talk about it. Because life is good on paper. Because there’s nothing to really complain about. Just the inexplicable feeling of emptiness inside, and the mounting stress and pressure (that everyone seems to be tolerating just fine, so why shouldn’t you, right?) This episode is not urging you to quit your job, move abroad, or make other drastic changes. But it does encourage you to look within at what’s true for you. We’ll discuss how you know when it’s time for a change, and what kind of change. We’ll touch on listening to your body’s signs and your heart’s wisdom when it comes to tolerating unaligned environments and situations. And, most importantly, we’ll get to the core of what you truly want for yourself. What would really make you happy. —— To learn how to get your energy back and ease the stress and pressure in your life right now, book an Energetic Reset call below. —— Join the Insiders’ Newsletter: www.yekaterinabenson.com/ [www.yekaterinabenson.com/] Book an Energetic Reset call: calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call [calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call] —— Life changes, self care, balance, mindfulness, ambitious, driven, burnout, emotional healing, busy, overwhelm, stress relief

26. Reclaiming Lost Parts of Yourself

When you get so stuck in the same routine that every day starts looking the same, slowly, over time, it starts to drain you. It starts to feel like you’re just a “doing machine” getting through the day’s to-do list. And despite being busy, despite all of it being important things, you start feeling empty. Have you been there? And if so, have you heard the advice: switch up your routine? Take a different route home, go to a new cafe, pick up a new book? It’s not bad advice… but it’s missing the core of the problem. In this episode, let’s get to the core. Let’s talk about how to bring energy and color back into your life. How to feel excited about your life again. How to bring back a sense of meaning and significance to your days. But most importantly, let’s talk about bringing lost pieces of you back to yourself. —— To learn how to get your energy back and ease the stress and pressure in your life right now, book an Energetic Reset call below. —— Join the Insiders’ Newsletter: www.yekaterinabenson.com/ [www.yekaterinabenson.com/] Book an Energetic Reset call: calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call [calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call] —— Life changes, self care, balance, mindfulness, ambitious, driven, burnout, emotional healing, busy, overwhelm, stress relief

25. How to Feel Calmer and More Grounded When Nothing Seems To Be Going Right

When you’re going through a particularly challenging period of life, and NOTHING seems to be going well, here’s a simple and quick practice to get you feeling better immediately, and see things in a new light. Before we problem solve our life, we need to raise our emotional baseline. This is the Energy-First Approach. And today, we’ll talk about the Anchoring practice: how to find balance and feel more grounded when it feels like everything is conspiring against you. In this episode, I explain: * Why you can’t always trust your emotions (but why it’s so important to pay attention to them) * How to raise your daily emotional baseline * How thoughts that we’re not even aware of define our reality * How to feel better about your life without making any big changes on the outside Things are never as bad as they seem. And… you’re doing better than you realize. —— To learn how to get your energy back and ease the stress and pressure in your life right now, book an Energetic Reset call below. —— Join the Insiders’ Newsletter: www.yekaterinabenson.com/ [www.yekaterinabenson.com/] Book an Energetic Reset call: calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call [calendly.com/yekaterinabenson/90-min-call] —— Life changes, self care, balance, mindfulness, ambitious, driven, burnout, emotional healing, busy, overwhelm, stress relief

24. The Invisible Workload of Women (And How to Put It Down)

Part 2 of the latest feminine rage conversation! (Check out episode 23 for part 1.) In the last episode, I shared some strategies for how to create better conditions in our lives to allow for more focus, more uninterrupted meaningful work, and have more space for rest. In this episode, we’re adding another layer: the “this is harder for a woman” layer. We’re going to dive into some frustrating patterns in feminine-masculine dynamics around the topics of focus, having enough time for what we want to do, being recognized for our strengths and contributions, and plain old getting things done. But, of course, I’ll also be sharing my solutions for how to make your life easier, how to talk to men about this, and how to recruit them to be on your side. If you’re feeling like you can never get things done, this episode is for you. If you’re feeling the unfairness of being the only one to catch the things that fall through the cracks - and then have no time for what you actually want to do - this episode is DEFINITELY for you. You are doing amazing. AND… you deserve better. —— To learn how to get your energy back and ease the stress and pressure in your life right now, book an Energetic Reset call below.
