Patricia reflects on her journey and her experiences with burnout. She shares valuable insights on the importance of taking breaks, recharging, and reconnecting with the physical world.

In this candid conversation, Patricia emphasizes the significance of self-awareness, listening to our intuition, and setting boundaries. She shares how her time in Italy helped her reconnect with herself, and how trusting her intuition has been vital in her personal growth. Patricia even discusses the idea of creating a "manual" for ourselves to better understand our own triggers and needs - but first, we must take the time to truly know ourselves.

Setting boundaries is an essential part of self-care, and Patricia dives into how these boundaries can help us align with our values and protect us from burnout. We also explore the importance of listening to our own inner voice and intuition, rather than relying on the advice of others. Patricia encourages us to practice self-care and set aside time for ourselves, even if it's just one day a week. 

Tune in to learn from Patricia's experiences and discover how to nurture your own self-awareness and resilience.

Debbie's previous blog "recharge your leadership batteries" offers some timely insights to help you reboot your own practice of "me time." She shares this important reminder that inspires me to take time for myself, "by taking time off not only was I benefiting, but I was giving someone else the opportunity to stretch and grow and show themselves and others what they could do."

Summer Rerun

I wrote about summer last year at this time, and as I reread this almanac entry, I realized it still captures the key points of the season and applies them to leadership – and life. This is because the cyclical nature of the seasons is like a rerun. We may have been through this season before but there is still something new and interesting about it to discover.
