Ep 73 – How to Reconnect With Yourself Both Emotionally and Physically, with guest Isabelle Griffith

Have you ever felt like your head was disconnected from your body? When we work too hard, we can become so associated with our brain and our thinking, that we forget we have physical and emotional needs too.

 

 

 

In this episode, Isabelle is sharing about her own honest experience of burnout at the end of her 20-year corporate career of continuous high achievement…

And how reconnecting to herself ‘below the neck’ completely transformed her life.

Isabelle talks about embodied feminine leadership and how it helps women:

* Overcome feelings of inadequacy;
* Being caught up in our heads;
* Break overthinking loops and emotional downward spirals.

We women are saturated with expectations, societal pressure, bias, providing for our loved ones and the need to add continuous cerebral value which is why burnout is so acute in so many women.

Isabelle shares a number of techniques to help you reconnect with yourself and with your body to help you regain that wholeness necessary to thrive.

 

A beautiful quote from today’s episode:

“When we are caught up in our heads we really can’t attend to our deeper needs. We are constantly anticipating the needs of others but not our own, which leaves us in a vulnerable place. We feel like we are missing not, are not fully present and it eventually leads to burnout.” (Isabelle Griffith, guest on Her Ambitious Career podcast)
