    Self-Care Strategies for High Achievers

    In this episode, Darla is joined by Katie McDonald to discuss the importance of self-care for business owners. Katie shares her personal journey from corporate burnout to wellness advocate and coach. The conversation delves into how self-neglect can impact both personal wellbeing and business success. Darla and Katie also explore actionable self-care strategies and the challenges high achievers face in balancing their drive with the need for self-compassion. Decades ago, the demands of Katie McDonald’s corporate career occupied her every waking moment. She was left feeling depleted and depressed—suffering from spiraling mental and physical health crises that threatened her life. Left with no choice but to transform her body-mind relationship, Katie abandoned her corporate job and healed herself. Fully recovered from years of self-neglect, Katie now works with high achievers who are taking care of business at the expense of taking care of themselves. *** 📲CONNECT with Katie: Website: https://bnourished.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bnourished/ 📲CONNECT with Darla: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thedarlapowell 📚Resources & People Mentioned: Wingnut Academy is LIVE: https://wingnutsocial.com/wingnut-academy/ "The 6 Keys to Success on Instagram" (Free Webinar): https://wingnutsocial.ewebinar.com/webinar/free-webinar-the-6-keys-to-success-on-instagram-9971 "The Big Leap" by Gay Hendricks "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey 🏠FOLLOW Wingnut Social: Website: http://www.wingnutsocial.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/WingnutSocial/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/wingnutsocial Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wingnutsocial/ Wingnut Webinars: https://wingnutsocial.com/webinar 🎧SUBSCRIBE to The Wingnut Social Podcast: Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3RJzmtK Google Podcasts: https://bit.ly/designedongooglepodcasts TuneIn: https://bit.ly/designedontunein YouTube: https://bit.ly/designedonyoutube
