    021 Burnout and Bereavement with Louise Fernando

    In this episode of Healing After the Hard Stuff, I’m joined by Louise Fernando for an honest conversation about two deeply challenging experiences: burnout and bereavement. Louise shares how burnout showed up for her twice, despite outward success, and how both burnout and grief forced her to slow down and reassess what success truly means. We talk about the hidden cost of overachieving, the pressure to keep going even when you're exhausted, and why healing from both burnout and loss requires space, patience and honesty with ourselves. What burnout can really look like behind the scenes The physical and emotional impact of overworking and overgiving Why building a business doesn’t automatically change old patterns How grief affects people differently and why it cannot be rushed The importance of nervous system regulation and emotional processing Redefining success beyond constant productivity Be patient with yourself. Healing takes time, and trying to bypass pain usually means it shows up somewhere else later. Giving yourself space to feel, rest and process is not weakness, it’s part of the healing.

    018 Supporting someone in a mental health crisis

    Following her conversation with Shari Thompson, Anna shares practical reflections on supporting someone through a mental health crisis. Speaking from lived experience rather than clinical expertise, she explores how to show up steadily when someone you care about is struggling. Why professional support should be sought where possible The importance of listening rather than fixing How to “sit in the mud” with someone without getting pulled under Why “reach out if you need me” isn’t always enough Being specific and proactive in your support Regulating your own nervous system while helping someone else Presence Over SolutionsOften, someone in crisis simply needs to be heard. Reflect their experience back to them without escalating or trying to immediately solve it. Proactive Support MattersInstead of broad check-ins, ask specific questions. Instead of waiting for permission, take gentle action. Consistency helps someone feel less alone. Put Your Oxygen Mask On FirstSupporting someone can dysregulate you. Slow your breathing. Lengthen your exhales. A calm nervous system allows you to think clearly and show up steadily.
