Is listening to our gut the key to decreasing burn out? - with With Stacie, mum of 3 and Emotional Intelligence Coach

Burnout is a term that gets thrown around a lot and Stacie Skehan, Emotional Intelligence Educator, knows it all too well. A mum of 3, navigating two divorces and chasing a string of career accolades, it wasn’t until total burnout forced her to stop and she had to feel what she had been suppressing for decades. Stacie shares her motherhood journey, relationships realisations and gives us a deep insight into how feeling, not fixing, is what is needed for ourselves and in turn, our children. We discuss…

• Stacie’s surprise pregnancy and tough postpartum
• When infidelity and drugs emerged in her first marriage 
• Why learning to listen to your instincts is important
• The post divorce glow-up
• Meeting her second husband (and finding the opposite of her ex)
• Navigating consecutive miscarriages in  remote Australia
• Irish twins! Getting pregnant at 3 months postpartum 
• Giving and receiving love via achievements and productivity
• Burnout - ignoring the warning signs and suppressing your emotions
• When you can’t rest unless something forces you to
• The importance of modeling our emotions to our children
• Reflecting on childhood to see where you’re repeating behaviours as an adult
