Three years ago I was married to my husband. We had a child. At the time I was working at a law firm: I was driven, but parenthood, the sometimes unrealistic demands of private practice, and the breakdown of my marriage culminated to cause me to suffer burn out, which ultimately led to depression. I had great difficulties concentrating and I was effectively terminated from my role. My son and I became homeless. I wanted to share my story of hopelessness to hope.
In this episode we talk about:
- My encouragement to you
- My experience of working with a psychologist and the importance of new services like Telehealth.
- My journey through unemployment and my feelings during this time
- Figuring out what success really meant to me
- At my worst, I learnt the value of my health
- My four tips for getting through hard times: fitness, psychology, spirituality and inspiration from outside sources
- Input from Dr Dain Heer and Brené Brown
- A final word from me – please reach out of you need to talk
Sit back as I share my personal story with you.
