The Boss Mom Podcast How to Beat Burnout & Build the Skill of Healthy Rest w/Deanna Mason
Most Boss Moms can relate to feeling like we're doing too much, and that's because while we're giving our all to our businesses, we're not paying enough attention to our own wellbeing. As a result, we're running on empty tanks, and that's completely unsustainable.
Prioritizing our businesses may reap amazing financial rewards, but success is about more than making money. If we're feeling depleted constantly, we need to change how we approach rest and relaxation.
What can we do to fill our own cups and start each day feeling refreshed, rather than burnt out? How do we start working from a place of rest while still running a booming business?
In this episode, founder of Refreshed Moms, Deanna Mason shares how we can rest our way to success.
3 Things You'll Learn in This Episode
- The importance of taking the right approach to rest: It's not always easy forecasting the cost of making our dreams a reality, and that's why so many of us run out of steam. We have to learn how to rhythm in and out of healthy rest approaches that don't require us to step out of our businesses to feel refreshed.
- Why relaxation is vital for a thriving business: Learning how to run a successful business is great, but without the energy to implement the strategies, we'll never sustain it. We have to learn how to work from a place of rest, rather than needing to rest from our work.
- How taking time for self-care impacts every area of our lives: When we make room to pour into ourselves, it's easier to pour into our businesses and families. It all starts with filling our own cups first.
Guest Bio-
Deanna Mason founded Refreshed Moms in 2018, right after spending 3 years on a business "hiatus." That's because, after running a non-profit and magazine publishing company for 8 years, she had totally burned out. She had spent years running her business her way, striving for her definition of success and doing way too much. She knew that in order for things to be different this time around, she had to do things differently.
Deanna is a firm believer that running a business is not just about sales and income. If you allow yourself, you can learn all of the marketing skills needed to get your magic to the people God has called you to. But, you also have to make sure you're taking care of other vital priorities, such as your faith, self-care, emotional wellness, and being present for the people you love. Without this, no matter how much money you make, it won't be sustainable.
And there is no way she could do any of this well without her consistent connection with God.
Now, as she journeys with God in her work, she allows Him to guide her tasks, projects, and creativity, which helps her eliminate the noise, remove the mental clutter, and focus on the things that matter the most. In doing so, He has faithfully kept her profitable and growing, and she relies completely on Him as He helps her support her community in doing the same thing.
