#58 Overcoming Chronic Stress & Burnout | Emma Jay

Today I am joined by Emma Jay, a wellbeing coach, TEDx Speaker and author, to discuss chronic stress, burnout and the priority of establishing habits to support your physical and psychological health.  

In 2002, Emma was involved in a serious car accident, causing her to lose all of her confidence. She transformed from her previous outgoing, bubbly and enthusiastic self, to isolating herself away, manifesting a negative mindset… only triggering the development of depression. A few years on, Emma then experiences postnatal depression, in addition to chronic stress and burnout.

With these issues only accumulating, Emma was forced to adapt her lifestyle, recognise the underlying reasons triggering these exhausting bouts of stress, and make some changes.

It was about applying basic self care and stress management strategies, establishing a sense of purpose, maintaining a routine, building positive habits, prioritizing sleep, and finding a balance.

Thus throughout this conversation we both share advice on how to manage stress, lifestyle changes to facilitate positive wellbeing, and how to create long term, sustainable adaptations to aid your overall health, happiness, and longevity.
