  1. Let's stop glamorising self-employment - it's f*cking hard

    APR 28

    Let's stop glamorising self-employment - it's f*cking hard

    Leaving corporate and starting your own business is hard. Add burnout into the mix, and leaving corporate to start a business with your confidence at rock bottom, your decision making abilities having left you, and the fear of reaching burnout again meaning that you don't want to take as many risks or push yourself too hard, then starting your own business can feel like trying to walk a tightrope with one broken leg and both hands tied behind your back. The good news is that it can be done, and like me you can find yourself completely and utterly unemployable and loving what you're building and creating - but, the promises of this business building being easy, glamorous, and frameworks that promise you overnight success, don't help - especially if your burnout isn't being factored in your business growth, your strategy, your energy levels, and everything else that burnout impacts in your life. I'm talking about this, and more, in this week's episode of FRAZZLED. And the quiz I mention can be found here. Same time next week.

    Let's get FRAZZLED!

    OMG - I CANNOT even begin to tell you how excited I am for this episode, although thankfully, I do tell you how excited I am in this episode, or it's pretty pointless!! But, yes, FRAZZLED is back, so let's talk about why. Let's see how many times I can frustrate myself by using the word 'journey', and lets see if this is going to be, once again, a totally unedited, unscripted, and almost possibly, slightly unhinged podcast, now that I'm back, with the real purpose of the show, and not some 'advice' I was given by a coach trying to box me in. So you fabulous podsquad - let's get back to where we blong shall we? Welcome back to FRAZZLED, with me, your host, Kelly Swingler. www.kellyswingler.com

  3. The exhaustion of influencers

    APR 14

    The exhaustion of influencers

    You want to coach. Burnout coaching is where you want to be working, but it's exhausting. You're spending time and money on growing your business, but you're not getting the growth, and your feed is full of influencers making a ton of money, and they don't have your knowledge or expertise. So what do you? You create more content, you consume more content, you need to be visible, you need the business growth, and you want to keep up with the influencers who make all of this look so easy. In this uncut, unscripted, unedited Burnoutology the podcast, I'm talking about cliques, cheerleaders and credibility, and why followers don't always equal income. Kelly www.kellyswingler.com

  4. The business of coaching

    APR 7

    The business of coaching

    When did coaching become less of a practice, and less client focused, and more about five figure months and stuffing everyone into groups? How is the 'business of coaching' adding stress and strain to those who have left corporate to become coaches after burnout? And what needs to change if we want to make coaching, as a profession, client focused again, where it's less about big bucks, and more about client growth? I'm talking about this and more in this weeks uncut, unedited and unscripted episode of Burnoutology the podcast. Kelly www.kellyswingler.com

  5. Are you ready to spring into spring?

    MAR 31

    Are you ready to spring into spring?

    Wintering has felt so much more needed this year. It's been longer, and darker and in some cases harder. And a result, you and your clients may not feel quite ready for Spring. That new energy, the new ideas, the spring in your step, if burnout is lurking or looming, may be missing. In this week's uncut, edited, unscripted Burnoutology the podcast, I'm talking about wintering, spring, and how to define your own way of doing things now the seasons are changing.

  6. How do we create depth if we're busy being busy?

    FEB 17

    How do we create depth if we're busy being busy?

    Is the way you're working perpetuating the busyness and the surface level change? This is the topic for this weeks Burnoutology the podcast. We're all being told that attention spans are changing, that people can't and won't focus on detail, or commit time long lengths of time to anything anymore - but we know that's rubbish. People want depth, and meaning, and time to focus on the things that matter - and when we allow the change, and we change the pace, and we create spaces where we allow time, and we allow depth, and we allow connection and meaning, this is where we really make the change. People are craving 1:1 connection, and to be seen and heard. The coaching industry may be pedalling out low cost training that teaches other coaches how to sell to many, not one, but who is that benefitting? My DM's tell me that clients want 1:1. Create the right space for people, and the myths of 'fast and furious' go out of the window. So what about you? Are you bust being busy so much that you're losing the depth of what you need?

  8. Wellness-Washed | Burnout Truth #21

    JAN 20

    Wellness-Washed | Burnout Truth #21

    Hey Burnoutology podsquadders, welcome to another episode of Burnoutology the Podcast, where this week we are talking about 'wellness washed'. If Burnout was always obvious, we wouldn’t be here. But one of the most dangerous forms of Burnout I see doesn’t look chaotic, emotional, or messy at all. It looks calm. It looks regulated. It looks like someone who’s done the breathwork, bought the supplements, curated the self-care… and is still quietly shutting down. Today we’re talking about wellness-washed burnout, and why feeling calmer doesn’t mean you’re actually okay.” If listening to this episode gets you thinking that, ‘I look fine, but I don’t feel like myself’ - don't add another wellness habit. Ask a better question. What has my calm cost me?” Kelly www.kellyswingler.com
