Burnout doesn’t happen overnight.

In veterinary medicine, there are often early warning signs of burnout that show up long before someone reaches burnout — but many of these signs are so normalized in high-achieving professions that we miss them completely.

In this episode, Dr. Amelia shares four burnout warning signs that often appear well before burnout, including the ones leaders and teams most commonly overlook.

Some of these may surprise you.

You’ll learn how to recognize when someone may be operating in survival mode — whether that looks like the high performer who never slows down, the “low-maintenance” perfect employee who always says yes, the cynical teammate who seems negative, or the person who suddenly seems unmotivated or checked out.

Understanding these patterns through a nervous system lens can help veterinary professionals and leaders respond with more compassion, awareness, and effective support — instead of judgment or assumptions.

Because burnout doesn’t start with one hard day.

It happens when survival mode becomes the norm.

In this episode you'll learn:

• The four early warning signs that often show up before burnout
• Why high performers and “easy” employees may actually be at risk
• How stress responses like fight, flight, fawn, and freeze show up in veterinary teams
• Why labeling people as “toxic” can miss what’s really happening
• Simple ways to start responding with compassion, curiosity, and awareness

If you're a veterinary professional, practice leader, or high achiever who wants success that feels sustainable instead of exhausting, this episode will give you a new lens for understanding burnout before it happens.

Transcript:

Below is the full transcript of the episode “4 Warning Signs That Quietly Lead to Burnout.”

Welcome to the Life Boost with Amelia podcast, where we're changing the narrative around what true health and success look like. They should give you energy, not drain it.

I'm your host, Dr. Amelia — a multi-passionate integrative health and life coach, entrepreneur, and recovered burnout veterinarian.

Together, we'll explore the science behind how your brain and body work, including the unconscious mind, while also connecting with what your heart needs in order to stand up to the norm of feeling stuck on a hamster wheel — working hard yet feeling exhausted and not where you want to be — and instead live a life that makes you excited to get out of bed in the morning and in love with who you see when you look in the mirror.

The reality is:

If you do what everyone else is doing, you're not going to feel good.

Let's break the norm.

A New Experiment: Weekly Instagram Lives

Hi friend.

I'm trying something new. My plan is to do a weekly Instagram Live. I did the first one last week, and I figured I would share it here. It ended up being more like a podcast-length episode.

My plan for future weeks is to keep it much more brief — probably 15 to 20 minutes.

Right now my plan for the first little series is to take a common stressor or challenge in veterinary medicine and then offer a reframe or different strategy that can help make it less stressful, frustrating, or overwhelming.

So if there is something that comes to mind as you hear that — a stressor that you'd like me to address in a future episode — I would love to hear it.

I'll leave lots of ways to connect with me in the show notes.

But for now, let's dive into the four warning signs that happen way before burnout that we're missing.

---

Burnout Doesn't Start After One Hard Day

We are going to be talking about four warning signs that happen before burnout that we have normalized, and how we can change that.

This is such an important topic because burnout does not happen after one hard day.

There are so many warning signs that happen before burnout. It's just that, in many ways, we have normalized them. We even select for and reward certain traits of survival mode in some environments.

So we miss the warning signs until burnout actually happens.

Today you're going to see why sometimes the employee who seems perfect and like they're thriving can actually be showing a warning sign that happens before burnout.

Today we're going to talk about:

• The most underestimated sign

• The most missed sign

• The most misunderstood signs (there are two of these)

So we'll be talking about four different traits.

Who This Episode Is For

This episode is for you if:

• You are a leader who wants to be really proactive in supporting a thriving team and preventing those unexpected, unpleasant surprises where suddenly your “perfect employee” leaves.

• You are a leader who wants sustainable success and wants to make sure you are in your career for the long run while decreasing overwhelm.

• You love your career and want to be proactive about making sure it is sustainable and preventing burnout.

• Or maybe you're already at a point where you are feeling overwhelmed, anxious, exhausted, or like you're on the verge of burnout — or maybe you're already there.

If that sounds like you, this is going to shed light on why you may be feeling that way and what you can do about it.

I'll also be sharing simple action items that you can start putting into practice immediately.

My Burnout Story

If you're listening to this and we haven't connected yet, I'm Amelia.

I'm an integrative health and life coach and a veterinarian, and I learned the hard way that the way we are taught to achieve health and success doesn't work if we want two important details:

• for it to feel sustainable

• and for it to feel good

Going into veterinary medicine, I knew our profession struggled with burnout. I just didn't think it was going to happen to me.

I was going to be really proactive. I was into:

• healthy habits

• stress management

• personal development

All the things.

And yet it still happened to me.

Five years into practice, I looked like I was thriving on the outside.

And yet on the inside I was really struggling with:

• constant anxiety

• brain fog

• exhaustion

• abdominal pain

Even then, it took me a while to realize that I was burned out.

But that became a really beautiful turning point for me. It helped me start recognizing:

If we are so determined to do things right, why does it still lead to burnout?

And more importantly:

How can we do it differently?

I was able to recover while still practicing, and I now have a decade of experience in clinical practice working in:

• small animal general practice

• urgent care

• relief work

My mission now is to help create a new norm where our approach to health and success actually feels good and sustainable.

A Nervous System Perspective on Burnout

Today we're looking at these warning signs from a nervous system perspective.

I’ve found this is one of the most effective ways to suddenly understand:

• why we struggle with burnout

• and how we can catch warning signs way before burnout actually happens

So let's dive into the first one.

---

Burnout Warning Sign #1: The Most Underestimated — The High Performer

The most underestimated warning sign is the high performer.

This is the person who:

• holds themselves to really high standards

• may be a bit of a workaholic

• thrives on being busy

• loves productivity

• struggles to slow down

Even on weekends or vacations, their mind is still going and they're busy doing things.

They probably love productivity systems and to-do lists.

This probably sounds like the majority of people in veterinary medicine.

And that makes sense, because in many ways we are selected and rewarded for this.

Productivity is valued. We are expected to juggle a lot of things — even just to get into veterinary school.

But this can also be a sign of being stuck in the flight stress response.

It’s a sign that your nervous system has learned:

• productivity feels safe

• rest feels unsafe

The tricky thing is that these traits can lead to feeling successful or looking good on paper.

So we start attributing our success to our ability to hustle and hold ourselves to impossibly high standards.

But the problem is:

It's not sustainable.

---

The Gas Pedal Analogy

Imagine driving a car with the gas pedal pressed down the whole time, never stopping to refuel.

Maybe the check engine light is on, but you ignore it because you want to reach your destination.

That works for a while.

But eventually:

• you run out of gas

• or the check engine light becomes a much bigger problem

And suddenly you're sidelined at the most inconvenient time.

---

Drive vs Survival Mode

This doesn't mean you shouldn't be a high achiever or have incredible drive.

The real question is:

Is your drive sustainable, or is it coming from survival mode?

Survival mode is about short-term survival, not long-term thriving.

So here are some things to explore if this sounds familiar.

Are urgent things crowding out important things?

For example:

• Are you skipping things like drinking water?

• Are you missing nourishing meals that give you energy?

• Are you not getting enough sleep?

• Do you rarely have breaks where your brain gets a moment not to think?

Are urgent things like work crowding out things that are actually important?

For example:

• spending time with friends and family

• doing things that bring you joy

• having time to play

Or does it feel like there is always one more thing you have to do before you can rest?

---

The To-Do List Trap

If that sounds familiar, it's important to realize something.

It will probably always feel that way.

You check something off your to-do list, and it feels amazing for a moment.

But how long does that feeling actually last?

Maybe a few seconds before your brain says:

“Now what?”

It's looking for the next fix.

That happens because your nervous system doesn't feel safe arriving at enoughness or success.

The hustle feels familiar. It feels normalized.

And if we aren't aware of that, we can spend our entire lives chasing that feeling.

Often the feeling we actually want is:

• feeling proud of ourselves

• finally being able to rest without the brain immediately searching for the next task

But if the nervous system thinks rest is unsafe, the brain will always look for something else to do.

At some point in life, it learned that being productive felt safer.

Burnout Warning Sign #2: The Most Missed — The “Perfect” Low-Maintenance Employee

So let's move on to number two.

This is the most missed.

This is the perfect, low-maintenance employee, right? The one who you never have to worry about. They're so reliable.

This could be a red flag.

They are going to be the type who's always upbeat and cheerful. You check in on them and they say, “Everything is great. Everything is fine.”

If you ask them to pick up another shift, they're like, “No problem,” without even checking their schedule, probably.

So that is also going to be the team member who seems like they're totally fine, and then suddenly they leave unexpectedly.

That is because this can actually be a sign of being in the fawn stress response, or trauma response, if you're stuck in that.

In that case, they are acting in whatever way they think they need to in order for other people to like them, because their nervous system feels like to not be liked or to be an inconvenience to someone is like being chased by a lion.

So they are likely to:

• avoid difficult conversations

• not even really know what they need

These are people who tend to be very empathetic, very in tune with other people's emotions, but not necessarily in tune with their own.

They may be great at listening to others and checking in with them, but if asked, “How are you really doing?” they can be quick to dismiss that.

They also are likely to be worrying and thinking:

• “I wonder what they're thinking of me?”

• “What is other people's impression of me?”

And they probably are feeling pretty drained at the end of the day because they're kind of performing, wearing this mask.

They are putting on the persona of the person they think people want them to be, but not necessarily feeling safe just to be authentic or to speak up for their needs.

What’s the Difference Between Kindness and Survival Mode?

So again, let's explore what the difference is, right?

Because you could absolutely be a kind human who is there for other people.

So what's the difference between that and someone who is in survival mode and that fawn stress response?

Again, it's going to be self-sacrificing.

Are you putting your oxygen mask on first so that you have the capacity to help others?

Or does it tend to be that you are saying yes to one more thing, and that is feeling really stressful to you?

Do you feel like you never have time?
Are you feeling overextended because you feel bad saying no?

Also tuning into your energy:

When you are doing things for others, is that feeling really good? Is that giving you energy? Or is it feeling kind of draining?

Are there feelings of resentment?

Do you wish that people wouldn't rely on you or ask you to do things?

That is another really helpful thing to notice.

Again, it's always tuning in with your body.

What is your body telling you about this way that you are acting?

Is it genuinely filling you up to be helping other people, or is it coming from a place of being really depleted or relying on getting praise in order for it to feel good?

What You Think You Need vs. What You Actually Need

So again, if that sounds familiar, what you think you need is going to be the opposite of what you actually need.

In this case, it's going to feel like what you need is for everyone around you to be okay and to be thriving.

You can be really focused on how other people are feeling.

There tends to be a focus on external validation.

That could also be:

• the number on the scale

• getting an award

• praise at work

• what other people are thinking of you

But really that's exhausting, because focusing on external things — all of those are really out of your control, especially what other people think of you.

It can be exhausting trying to control all of that.

So really, instead, it is all about tuning into you and your relationship with yourself.

A big thing to start exploring is having self-compassion for yourself and really exploring feelings of worthiness without needing to achieve any external things.

A Simple Practice: Say No Once This Week

So for you, if that sounds familiar, one thing you can do is practice saying no to something this week.

It's going to feel uncomfortable.

Just like for that high performer in flight, rest is going to feel uncomfortable — but that doesn't mean it's wrong.

In this case, saying no, or just speaking up for your own needs, is going to feel uncomfortable.

You might feel guilty.

But it's important to know that doesn't mean you are actually doing something wrong.

It just means it feels like you are doing something wrong, and that's an amazing opportunity to reprogram another thing.

Because self-compassion is so key.

If you know what your love language is, knowing that is so great for knowing how you can give yourself love.

For example:

• If words of affirmation is yours, what positive affirmations can you start having toward yourself? Notice your self-talk.

• If it is physical touch, maybe you get a massage. Is that a great act of self-compassion for yourself, or something that helps you feel that connection?

• If it is acts of service, think, okay, what is something I can actually do for me?

• Or quality time — how often do you just get to have time with yourself, and what would that look like?

So think about this week:

• What is one act of self-compassion you can do?

• Can you practice taking something off your plate?

• Can you practice prioritizing you?

For Leaders

And if you are a leader, it's really important with this one to keep in mind that it can be easy to think, “Oh, that employee's fine. I don't need to check on them.”

I absolutely think of ways that you can check on them.

But also keep in mind that in one-on-ones, they may not be able to give you the full picture or an accurate representation of how they're doing, because it's just going to be so automatic to say that they're doing okay or to say what they think you need to hear.

That is where thinking about ways of providing honest feedback in a way that feels safe or confidential for them can be really helpful.

And I do have a free workplace satisfaction and wellbeing survey available for veterinary practices.

It's an easy way to take the pulse of your practice and give everyone an opportunity to share how they're really doing.

Burnout Warning Sign #3: The Most Misunderstood — The Cynical Employee

All right, onto number three.

I'm going to take a quick drink.

Okay, so now we're going to talk about the most misunderstood, and there are actually two here that I think are equally misunderstood.

Our society is really quick to judge both of these.

So one of them is the cynical employee, right? The person who is just negative. Maybe they're the bully. Maybe they're just really draining to be around.

They may even be hateful.

And just in general, looking at our world right now, this is something online we can see a lot of.

So of course it makes sense that we are quick to judge, because that is someone in the fight stress response.

And when we see that, the automatic reaction is for our nervous system to go into the fight stress response too, and to also judge.

However, when we can start to label that, we can start to really have awareness of:

Oh, that person is in the fight stress response.

That really helps to change things.

Because the reality is that when someone is happy and healthy, they don't act that way.

The only reason that someone is acting that way is because something, from their perspective, is feeling really hard or overwhelming.

And the more we can meet that with compassion and curiosity, the more we can really help.

Because this is a sign that their nervous system is feeling overwhelmed, and if they stay stuck there, that is eventually going to lead to burnout.

If This Sounds Familiar for You

So in this case, if this sounds familiar — if you are feeling like everything just feels negative, you feel like maybe you're just easily irritated, maybe your fuse is shorter than it should be, or you end up kind of snapping or saying things that you later regret — then some things to really think about are:

• Are there important boundaries that have not been respected?

• Are there boundaries that are missing for you?

So often we go into the fight stress response when we're feeling stuck, cornered, or when there are certain things that we need.

If you haven't had rest, if you haven't been able to get food that you need, if you haven't been able to be outside in the sun — if basic things that are really important for wellbeing have been missing — then likely you're feeling that way.

Or maybe it feels like you have so much to do and it's impossible to do it all.

Or there are impossible standards at work.

Or you are trying to speak up for not having your schedule totally overbooked, and yet it's just not respected.

Those may all be times when you are going into that fight stress response.

Why Judgment Makes It Harder to Change

And so the tricky thing is that when we are quick to judge — say that is an employee — we often think, “Okay, well they need to be disciplined.”

But if that is someone who is overwhelmed already, their nervous system is already in the stress response.

Then that kind of judgment is actually going to add more stress to an already overwhelmed nervous system.

And so it can actually make it even harder for them to change, even if they really want to.

So if that is the case, compassion and curiosity are going to be so huge.

If you are in that state of feeling like things are so irritating, or just feeling overwhelmed right now, pause and have compassion for yourself.

Think:

• Why is it really understandable that I feel this way?

• What basic necessities have been missing?

• Am I not feeling respected somewhere?

• Is there somewhere where I need to be speaking up for my needs right now?

• Where could I use some support?

Because in the fight stress response, again, what we think is going to help is often the opposite of what's actually going to help when we're in survival mode and want to be thriving.

When we're in fight, the automatic reaction is to kind of push people away, to blame others.

But so often what we actually need is just to be witnessed — for someone to acknowledge what we are going through — or to have support.

A Personal Example

And a personal example now.

As I'm talking about these, there may be two things you notice.

You may feel like all of these different stress responses are familiar — like maybe you experience them all throughout the day.

That is normal. We go in and out of stress responses.

But also what you can see is that you kind of get stuck in a stress response.

It can be that suddenly even things that are non-threatening cause a stress response to kind of default.

For example, if you're in flight and your nervous system thinks that rest is unsafe, that's not actually unsafe — but that's how you're reacting.

So again, with the fight stress response, so often we just need love.

For me, if I notice that I'm in the fight stress response, maybe I'm getting irritated with my husband or something, I've learned that what I really need is a hug in that moment.

That has been huge.

Because when you have that awareness, now I can notice, “Ooh, I'm feeling kind of snippy with my husband,” or, “I'm feeling like everything he's doing is annoying me.”

And instead I can be like:

You know what? I'm noticing I'm in the fight stress response, and I think I just need a hug.

And so often when I recognize that and I have a hug, suddenly I feel better.

So that's just an example of how awareness can help, but also recognizing when what we really need is the opposite of what it feels like we need in the moment.

Your Brain Filter Matters Too

Another thing to keep in mind: if everything is just feeling negative and you're kind of in that irritable fight stress response, then your brain filter may really have a negative lens.

Our brain has a filter. It's called the reticular activating system.

It decides what to bring into our conscious awareness.

If that's being influenced by our beliefs, our nervous system state, our expectations, and our thoughts, then if you are having the thought:

“Everything is irritating. I hate this day.”

your brain is going to show proof of all of that.

So one helpful thing can be noticing: yes, there may be some things that are hard, and it's really important to acknowledge that.

But also, can you look for the positive, unexpected moments in your day?

Even if that is something short like:

• “Oh, the sunrise was beautiful.”

• “Oh, I had one nice conversation with somebody.”

• “Oh, the schedule ended up not being as bad as I thought it was.”

Really looking for those helps you experience your reality in a little bit more of an accurate way, rather than only seeing the negative things around you.

---

Burnout Warning Sign #4: The Person Who Seems Not to Care

All right, so we're onto number four.

The final sign that's really misunderstood is the person who seems not to care, or maybe they seem lazy.

Some signs of that could be that they:

• don't have energy

• don't have motivation

• seem kind of spacey

• have a hard time focusing

• don't feel really connected to their feelings

That is a sign of being in freeze or shutdown.

That really is like if your nervous system has been operating in survival mode, plan A is fight or flight.

But freeze and shutdown is kind of like plan B.

It's basically:

Things are so overwhelming, or I tried to escape the threat in fight or flight and I wasn't able to, so now I'm just going to kind of dissociate.

That's a much lower state.

So when you are seeing someone, or if you are feeling just low mood — like “I just don't have energy or motivation for things that normally I do” — then that's a sign that you are in freeze or shutdown.

And that's so important to recognize, because the automatic default reaction we tend to have to that is to think:

• I just need to push through

• I just need more willpower

• I need more discipline

In so many ways, that's what hustle culture, diet culture, and vet med teach us, right? Just push through.

Or we judge someone for not caring.

But it's so important to recognize that that's actually a sign that something in their life is feeling really overwhelming physically, mentally, emotionally.

And if we meet that with, “Oh, they need to be disciplined,” or, “We just need to push through,” then that is adding more stress.

That judgment and that pressure can make it so they're even more stuck in that freeze or shutdown, instead of being able to thaw out of that and shift back into a more regulated state.

Taking Pressure Off

So in those cases, it's really thinking about:

• How can we take pressure off?

• How can we prioritize safety?

If this sounds familiar for you, the number one thing is just thinking:

What can I give myself a permission slip to not have to do?

What on my plate can I take off?

Because again, we're talking about sustainable success.

It can feel so hard in the moment. We can feel like, “I just need to keep pushing through.”

But this is one thing that I've realized:

Burnout really is a freeze or shutdown.

It is this point where you don't have energy or motivation. Maybe you aren't caring as much.

And it's so important that we recognize that this makes sense when we see all the other signs we've discussed that can show we're operating in survival mode.

Meeting It With Compassion

There are now times when I have a day and I'm like, “Wow, I just feel kind of low. I don't have motivation or energy to do things.”

And I'm now able to meet that with compassion.

Because if you can welcome that, if you can embrace:

Okay, I hear you, nervous system and body. I'm recognizing that I've been going a long time.

If you pause and think, “Why is it understandable that I feel this way?” there's always going to be an understandable reason.

You'll probably find that you've been pushing yourself a lot.

And if instead you can say, “Okay, what can I take off my plate? How can I actually lean into this and honor this time that I need just to recharge?”

That always helps me.

The next day, or soon after, I'm ready to go.

I am actually motivated and doing things from a space of genuinely wanting to.

Rather than, if we resist that rest and keep thinking that you need to push through, that's certainly not sustainable.

It just makes everything take so much longer.

Rather than if you were to honor:

• I need to pause for a little bit

• I need to allow myself to recover

and meet that with compassion, that will help you move forward in a way that is leading toward sustainable success.

It is okay to have those periods.

Nothing has gone wrong, as long as we can meet that with compassion.

Why This Matters So Much

So, especially in a profession that struggles with burnout and suicide, I hope you can see just how important it is that we are not normalizing these patterns.

That we do start recognizing that when we are hustling to this extent, self-sacrificing, or ignoring our bodies, that is not sustainable.

And also recognizing:

How can we make sure we aren’t labeling people as toxic or making assumptions about them, but instead really start meeting it with compassion and curiosity?

Recognizing:

Oh, this is a human who is feeling overwhelmed. What kind of support do they need?

That alone — if we adopted this — could really help prevent burnout.

Because if we’re recognizing a day when, at the end of the day, you’re just feeling really irritable, or maybe you’re feeling numb, that is really important information.

So that you can pause and look back at what happened in your day.

• What were the specific stressors that contributed?

• What can you do differently the next day so that it’s not the same thing?

Because again, burnout doesn’t happen after one hard day.

It happens when we have been operating in survival mode for too long.

The Aligned Success Reboot

So if you are listening to this and you really love it and you want to learn more, maybe you are realizing that you have been operating in survival mode for most of your life.

I definitely was in flight and fawn for decades. I just thought that was how it was.

It really is eye-opening when you are able to give your nervous system an update, start exploring where this happened, and start embracing a new approach where you’re really working with your body and nervous system instead of against it.

So that is what we do in my coaching program, the Aligned Success Reboot.

It is a six-month coaching program, experience, and community that is for driven professionals, and it’s really for those who are wanting to:

• thrive in your career without overwhelm or hustle

• feel good in your body without restriction

• have time and energy for you without the guilt

It’s a space where we look at physical and mental wellbeing together, and we look at things in and outside of work, because the reality is that everything is connected.

---

The Stress Balloon Analogy

When we look at survival mode and stress responses, I like to think of stress in the body as like air in a balloon.

Balloons are designed to have air, but the more air they have, the tighter they become.

Eventually, even a little bit more air, a little bit of pressure, can cause them to pop.

And the same thing is true with our body.

We have these stress balloons.

We’re designed to have stress, but we also need a pop-off valve.

So when we look at things as a whole — physical and mental wellbeing as one — we’re able to look at:

• what are all these physical, mental, and environmental aspects that are contributing to stress?

• what changes can we make so that your baseline stress level is in a nice parasympathetic, regulated state?

Because that is a state where we really can thrive.

That is where you can have joy, and we can problem solve, and you can heal and grow and thrive.

---

A Space Where You Get to Be You

This is also a space where you get a break from being the one that everybody relies on.

So often, especially with high achievers, it’s like everybody’s expecting so much of us, and we have all these roles that we have to be living up to.

But this is a space where you just get to practice being you.

To even explore:

Who is that? Who is that authentic you underneath those survival patterns?

And it’s a space where speaking up for your needs, practicing having boundaries, is celebrated.

That is so needed in this world.

And because you are learning how to work with your body instead of against it, this is where healthy habits actually stick.

We are unlearning the hustle and diet culture approach of just pushing through or needing to rely on discipline and willpower.

Instead, we are really exploring:

• What healthy habits feel good?

• Which ones actually add richness to your life?

• Which ones work with your taste buds and your lifestyle and your preferences?

When healthy habits don’t stick, we get curious:

Why is that understandable, and what needs to be adjusted so that it’s actually something that is adding richness to your life?

Again, you’re learning to work with your beautifully unique body and mind.

This is not a one-size-fits-all thing.

This journey is completely customized to you, because the only way of finding what sustainable health and success looks like is learning how to tune into your needs and your values, and letting that guide you as a compass in life.

---

Compassion, Curiosity, and Connection

This is also a space where we’re all choosing to lead with compassion, curiosity, and connection.

And I believe so deeply that our world really needs that right now.

It’s rare to have a space where it’s okay to have different perspectives, where authenticity is celebrated, where you can come just as you are and know that you’re going to be met with compassion.

That is what you can find here.

And all of that really helps with becoming a more effective leader and communicator, because if you are responsible for others, it first needs to start with yourself.

So when you do this kind of work and you’re recognizing when you are in survival mode and exploring the root issues, then it makes it so that you are able to recognize these early warning signs and really understand how to support a sustainable team and a sustainable practice.

What’s Included

The things that are included — you have a lot of different resources and support.

There are weekly group coaching calls that are also recorded, so if you can’t make it live, it’s something that you can listen to while you’re driving to work, for example.

There are monthly deep healing and unblocking calls, and that is more of an opportunity where I guide you through different somatic work and reflections and some trance work so that we are also creating change at the unconscious level and retraining the nervous system.

We have a community forum, so that is where you can come anytime.

You can post, you can share successes, but you can also ask questions and receive coaching anytime.

And you have access to my whole private website that has so many self-paced courses for you, including ones that are RACE approved.

It’s RACE and VHMA approved for at least eight hours of CE, and I’m adding more all the time.

There are also resources just to make your life easier.

For example:

• healthy recipes

• shopping lists

• meditations

• a private podcast

So based on what the community is talking about, or if there are questions, I share details there.

And more — I’m always adding more webinars.

Because there are so many resources, there’s also private onboarding.

When you join, I send a kind of comprehensive questionnaire so that I can really understand your challenges and your goals, and we can come up with a plan for exactly where you should start for that month, to make sure that you’re really working with your energy and capacity.

If that sounds like something you want to learn more about, the next step would be click here to learn more.

When you get to that page, if you click on take the first step, then I will send you an email.

It’ll have a few quick questions, and that’s how we can start a conversation to explore if it’s the right fit for you.

There’s no obligation for you to do that — it’s just so that we can make sure this is the best first step.

Closing

So I hope that you found this helpful today.

If you’re listening to the recording (or in this case reading the transcript), then please feel free to leave a comment with any questions.

My plan is to start doing a weekly Instagram Live, and so if there are other topics that you’d like to see, then let me know.

I’d love to hear.

I’m looking forward to the next one.

All right, bye.

If You Enjoyed Today’s Episode

If you enjoyed today’s episode, please share it with someone who you think could benefit.

And if you’re enjoying this podcast, it would mean so much to me if you would take the time to leave a review so that others can find me.

And as a thank you, if you leave a review, send me an email letting me know, and I’ll send you a free guided meditation for mental rehearsal.

That is exactly what elite athletes, executives, incredible surgeons all use. It’s a scientifically proven way to improve performance.

And the reason this works so well is because when you are mentally rehearsing, the same area of your brain is lighting up as if you were actually doing it.

So it’s a safe and effective way to be preparing and practicing and improving your skills for when you’re actually living it in the moment.

So send me an email at amelia@lifeboost.today if you leave a review, and I can’t wait to share that with you.

Cheers to your inevitable health, happiness, and success.
