The Mindful FIRE Podcast 23 : Meditation : Pandemic Burnout
Welcome to the Mindful FIRE Podcast, where we explore living mindfully on the path to financial independence and beyond.
Join me for this guided meditation, designed to support you if you’re feeling burned out by the pandemic.
In many conversations I’m having at work and with friends outside of work, I’m finding that many people are feeling burned out.
And you know what, I’m feeling it too. After a year of working full-time from home and parenting full-time as well, and of course dealing with the background environment of the pandemic. It’s a lot.
I put together this short practice to allow you to set aside everything going on and to just create space for yourself to sit and rest in the simplicity this moment.
I hope you find this supportive. Let me know what you think!

- You feel stuck after “doing everything right,” but you’re not sure what you’re optimizing for anymore.
- You’re caught between freedom and overwhelm (“I could do anything… so I do nothing”).
- You want clarity and momentum—but you don’t want someone to tell you what to do.
🔥 WHAT we’ll do together (over 10 weeks)
In a small group (mastermind-style), you’ll:
- Get clear on what you actually want (beyond expectations, comparison, and “shoulds”).
- Create a big, meaningful vision for your next chapter—one that fits who you are now.
- Learn the brain science behind envisioning (why it works, and how to use it).
