There has been an epidemic of burnout unfolding over the last few years. Rates of burnout and job dissatisfaction have skyrocketed; employees report exhaustion, lower motivation, and feeling a lack of purpose in their work. This has pervaded more than just the workplace: people broadly report feeling more fatigued, anxious, depressed, and lonely than perhaps ever before.
The need to tend to ourselves in a deep, restorative way is absolutely crucial. Yet this is difficult to do. Our guest today knows this from the inside out.
Rachael Bonetti is a corporate trainer, international speaker, podcast host, writer, wellbeing practitioner, and former executive assistant. For 27 years she worked in the corporate trenches partnering with some of the best minds in business: change makers, entrepreneurs, thought leaders, billionaires and high profile business leaders - the 1%. In 2021, after wrestling with her own journey through burnout, she stepped away from her corporate career to focus on teaching others how to integrate wellness into their lives. She offers practical and accessible strategies for individuals and organizations to sustain high performance while still prioritizing well-being.
In this episode we cover:
-Rachael's unique experience of 200+ days of lockdown in the Victoria (Australia) area; the emotional and social effects this created in her community; and how companies are attempting (or should consider attempting) to make adaptations.
-Rachael's personal experience with burnout and how she cultivated a daily wellness practice.
-The experience of feeling unheard or ignored by doctors and Rachael's untraditional approach to healing.
-Practical steps for carving out protected time for self-care.
-Wayapa Wuurrk meditation - what is it, how it connects us to nature, how it honors and incorporates indigenous wisdom, and how it can be used in the workplace.
-Negotiating wellness, autonomy, and empowerment in our workplaces.
