Lauren Walker and Charlie Thorne share their advice for Woman's Hour.
How energetic do you feel? Do your energy levels vary day by day? Maybe you override feelings of tiredness because you feel guilty about admitting you need to take a break?
Lauren Walker, from the Royal College of Occupational Therapists, and Charlie Thorne, who left her high-stress job as a lawyer due to burnout, both joined Nuala McGovern on BBC Radio 4’s Woman’s Hour to discuss. Keep reading for their advice and to hear more about Charlie’s story…Charlie Thorne was a lawyer for ten years in London before she became burnt out and had to take sick leave, before subsequently leaving her job.
"It’s a societal problem. In my experience, there's often the rebuttal of: 'We're all stressed. But look, you've achieved this, you've achieved that.' Actually, what's the cost of pushing yourself to achieve those things? It's often our health and our longevity."Occupational therapist Lauren Walker says that by managing our energy levels and pacing ourselves better, we can avoid burning out the way that Charlie did.
