If you’re hustling your way to success and happiness, then this episode is for you!
“I certainly didn’t share the burnout and breakdowns that I had with anyone, even friends, because I was so embarrassed. There’s this whole stigma around health when it’s something that’s potentially lifestyle related or is something mental health that may mean you worry you’re being judged for not being good enough.”
— Nicola Mercer
“You signed up to be this entrepreneur for this lifestyle of freedom where you dictate what you’re doing and actually it’s now given me some long-term life conditions that I’ll be dealing with now forever. And it’s taught me that I need to prioritise my health and my happiness over my business.”
— Laura Pearman
Today we’re joined by Laura Pearman who wants to share a tale of caution, and joy. Laura is an entrepreneur who found herself caught up in the hustle mentality of being self-employed: trying to prove yourself and building a sustainable business. She was passionate and enthusiastic, living life fast to make the most of everything she had and wanted to achieve.
Until Laura hit a health crisis. Not just once but several times. Only when she was diagnosed with Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH), a disorder related to high pressure in the brain, did Laura start to realise the way she was living wasn’t optimising her happiness. But it took more ill-health before the big shifts really started to happen.
In our conversation we share:
How the beliefs you hold dictate the way you push yourself and strive for success.
The risks of not tuning in with how you are feeling.
How burnout showed up and why Laura kept moving on despite hitting it several times.
The shift that talk therapy had and the key penny-drop moment it gave.
Why you need solid foundations with the right building blocks for you.
The power of understanding your own values and building blocks for good health.
Making changes and building new habits that become a part of who you are.
The role play and fun have on your wellbeing and happiness.
Taking a holistic approach to strong health and wellbeing.
