About Episode

Episode 24 brings you another brave soul's story of burnout. Edwina's experience will be of particular benefit to authors, creators, editors, teachers, mothers of teenagers, the neurodiverse, the grievers, women, and those who experience relationship struggles or break-ups during burnout. It is amazing how much wisdom can be shared in a conversation that lasts just under an hour. I love what I do. I get to witness someone's vulnerability and how it paved the way for their growth. I get to learn vicariously from them, and I hope you do too. Thanks, Edwina, for your generosity.

About the Host

My name is Shannon Swales, and I am a perfectly imperfect Clinical Psychologist. I am passionate about supporting others with the mental health knowledge and skills to thrive in this life, to move from chronically stressed, burnt-out states to one of wellness. My Telehealth practice, Burnout Psychology Support, is a therapeutic space for anyone who feels overwhelmed, lost, alone, trapped and absolutely exhausted every single minute of every single day and looking for support to find a way out, a path through the chronic stress brought about by their work or caregiving responsibilities. A state I know all too well after burning out in February 2021, costing me my ability to work and forcing me to move from caring for others to caring for myself. A move that has helped me to the place of wellness I am at today, with the ability to move back to the career I was trained for, caring for others in a more balanced way.
