On this week's episode of Overcoming Working Mom Burnout, I am learning from Christine Anastasia, a coach and mom of 3. She joined me shortly after the birth of her third child, which sounds crazy, but she had changed the script for #3. She was prioritizing herself as much as her child. She was focusing on her healing and realized that she was modeling this not only for her daughter but also for her mother who was a strong woman, but an over-giver. Christine was learning to set boundaries and break the cycle and in this she was finding more joy in mothering than ever before.

In this week's episode of Overcoming Working Mom Burnout, I learn from Dr Amy Beacom and Sue Campbell who wrote the Parental Leave Playbook and provide support through the Center for Parental Leave Leadership. Maternity leave has such an important connection to burnout because it creates a trajectory for moms returning to work depending on how long and how much support they have had during leave. Moms can also be going into maternity leave with high levels of stress, or can be returning to stressful situations with very little support for that transition.

In this week's guest episode of Overcoming Working Mom Burnout I speak with Isabel Torres. She leads Mothers in Science and has been collecting data and providing solutions through science, stories, networking, toolkits and polices.
I wanted to speak with Isabel because as a mom in STEMM, which includes medicine, I wasn’t aware of the gender barriers and bias I faced. I assumed I was somehow failing.
But Isabel and others have shown that mothers are penalized in their scientific careers but fathers are not. This difference points to a systemic problem which Isabel is fighting to dismantle.
As healthcare is a central topic for women's rights, it is so important that we have women leaders in STEMM who can conduct the research and translate the data into policies that save women's lives.

This week's mini episode of Overcoming Working Mom Burnout follows up from my conversation last week with Allison Tsao, SPHR, an organization development specialist. We spoke about leading with more humanity in the workplace and a large part of that leadership is being a role model. Often we think about role models as aspirational, larger than life characters. But everyday role models, people like you, are an essential part of individual behavior change and culture change. In this episode I provide examples of behaviors that we can role model out loud to help change burnout culture. Role models are not just 'nice' to have, they are an essential part of behavior change success.

Dr Kate Murray is an associate professor at the Queensland University of Technology, Australia. She is a clinical psychologist who now focuses on systems change. Yet she brings that perspective from being a therapist, what can I do now from where I stand, what can I control, what small changes can I make that will make a difference?

This week I am talking about addressing burnout in higher education with burnout coach and Professor Rebecca Pope-Ruark.
I wanted to speak with Rebecca because she was one of the few people I found addressing burnout in academia. Professor Rebecca Pope-Ruark is a burnout coach and author of an upcoming book on faculty burnout in women. When she asked for submissions on burnout, only women faculty responded! Rebecca describes how her love of teaching evolved into burnout and how she now supports faculty in their careers. We talk about why higher education is a particularly challenging environment to address burnout culture, yet why it is so important as we are preparing the citizens of the future.

She is also a researcher in women's work and mental wellbeing. As I got to know Lara from her emails and online coaching presence I loved her glowing positivity, it’s infectious. She also doesn’t hold back in expressing her thoughts about the lack of paid leave in the US, as an Australian observer. I always appreciate having the perspective and humor that an invigorating coach can bring.

This week's mini episode on Overcoming Working Mom Burnout follows on from my interview with journalist and app developer Joangel Concepcion. Joangel developed the Trael app to help employees track their mental health at work. This episode is a guide to how you can start to incorporate such a tracking system into your daily life so that it becomes a habit and allows you to get a full picture of your experiences at work. We all know that apps make it easier to track our behavior, but we still sometimes forget to use them, or the tracking gets so automatic that we forget to check whether we have met our goals. This guide will help you get started and schedule regular reviews so you can see patterns in your work experiences and moods to see what needs to change.

I am excited to share this bonus episode in honor of the launch of Deepa Purushothaman's book: The First, The Few, The Only. Deepa talks about her rapid rise in Deloitte and working harder than everyone else being her superpower. But she and so many of the women she features in the book suffered detrimental health consequences of this effort especially in the face of so many barriers. This book describes the strength these women have also found in the healing practices of their cultures. If you want to understand the needs and strengths of women of color in the workplace, The First, The Few, The Only provides both depth and breadth of experiences and lessons learned.

This week's mini episode of Overcoming Working Mom Burnout follows on from my interview with women's career expert Jess Galica. She recommended learning to self promote and so this is a guide with suggestions of different ways to get comfortable self promoting while also acknowledging the real barriers women face. Lack of reward is a major cause of burnout so it is important to develop systems where everyone, regardless of their ability to self promote, is rewarded for their performance and impact on key outcomes.

I wanted to speak with Jess because of the stories she has been collecting for her project Reclaim Your Career from women who experienced a career pivot. Jess’s own career pivot came through motherhood. And she provides a lot of great advice about how to plan and create a mind shift that moves you forward. Having experienced my own career transition due to burnout, I would have benefited from the stories Jess collected to realize that I was not alone and that many mothers experience meaningful career change. I look forward to Jess' book.

This week's mini episode follows up from my guest interview with researcher and community advocate Dr Melicia Whitt-Glover. Her behavior change recommendation was to advocate for safe spaces for physical activity to support the health of Black communities. The guide takes you through tips for getting started that will serve you well for any advocacy effort. When your environment is unsupportive of your goals it is important to know how you can work to change it. This can be empowering helping you manage the causes of burnout, but also the community and issue can provide meaning that can help with burnout recovery. Advocates often suffer burnout so the guide provides you a long term approach to prevent burnout.
As with every week, after I have recorded the episode I find myself learning more that I wish I had included. In particular, I found an episode of Katherine Goldstein's Double Shift podcast on paid leave advocacy very inspiring.
