Burnout-Proof Ellyn Schinke

What does it mean to actively manage stress in our day-to-day life? What does it look like?

Today, I’m joined by full-time physician Jillian Bybee, a pediatric critical care medicine physician and coach. She’ll share her journey of burnout and recovery and a mindset shift she had on being an active participant in one's life and practicing active stress management. We’ll touch on mindfulness and meditation as tools, the need to slow down and observe thoughts without reacting to them, the challenges faced by high achievers, and the misconception that passion prevents burnout.

Get ready for a massive dose of understanding from a woman who can relate, packed with tons of physician-recommended tools for stress management in your day-to-day life!

Passion does not prevent burnout; high achievers need to be mindful of their tendencies to take on too much.


Self-awareness is key in identifying stressors and finding ways to take care of oneself amidst busy schedules. Mindfulness and self-awareness are key in managing stress.


Breathing techniques, such as lengthening the exhale, can activate the parasympathetic nervous system and promote relaxation.


Movement, even in small ways, can have a positive impact on stress levels.


Setting boundaries and prioritizing self-care are essential for managing stress in high-pressure work environments.


Incorporating active stress management strategies into daily life can lead to improved well-being and reduced stress.



Sound Bites...

"Wellness is not a state of being, it's a state of action."

"I was trying so hard to keep the bad things at bay that I wasn't letting in the good things."

"Meditation has never taught me to still my mind. What meditation taught me is that I don't have to react to every single thought I'm having."

"Learning to take those thoughts less seriously and asking yourself, 'Is this really helpful?'"

"Anytime that you're intentionally lengthening your exhale, you're activating that nerve, you're turning down the volume."

"Moving your body can be more accessible than traditional exercise and still provide benefits."
