Ep 6 – How to Manage Burnout as the Primary Breadwinner, with guest, Sally McGrath

Here’s how to look after yourself when you’re the primary breadwinner… because the likelihood is, you’re running yourself into the ground on multiple fronts…

Today, Sally and I are talking about how to manage burnout as a woman who is also the primary breadwinner.

Because that’s a tough gig, right?

We are talking about…

• The unique pressures of being a primary breadwinner
• 10 factors that you can use to identify if you are on the path to burnout including, exhaustion, cynicism, disinterest in making decisions and interpersonal problems
• 3 pieces of preventative advice to help you reverse the cycle and reduce overwhelm

Best quote from this episode (feel free to repost this on your social channels!):

“The multiple roles of the primary breadwinner leads to complete overwhelm and exhaustion, on the slippery slope to burnout.”  (Sally McGrath, Guest on ‘Her Ambitious Career’ Podcast)

About Sally:

Sally McGrath, Health That Heals, takes ambitious, capable women who are on the verge of burn out to a thriving state. Sally says, “Being stressed out all the time has become normalised and I am here to help women stop wearing “busy” as a badge of honour.  Toxic work environments are a huge issue and my mission is to support women to put a stop to toxic and burnout cultural behaviour.”

What does “ambition” mean to you Sally? “Ambition is in my makeup. It means purpose, drive and a desire to make a difference and leave a legacy.”

If you were stuck on  a desert island Sally, what would you want to have with you? “Oooh can I have a few things? My besties, my dog, my partner, my family, coffee and wine! In no particular order; all are important!”
