Summary

In this month’s coaching episode, This Naked Mind head coach Scott Pinyard is joined by Certified Naked Mind Coach Wendy McCallum who specializes in burnout and balance. Wendy shares some of her drinking story and talks about burnout - how we define it and what are the most common symptoms. Then, the coaches answer two questions: one from someone who is using alcohol to cope with stress, knowing it’s hurting but also feeling like it’s helping, and wondering how to handle the stress without alcohol; and one from someone who started drinking again and is struggling to stop.

Hi, it's Annie Grace. I wanted to interrupt this podcast, I guess the end of this podcast, to say that if you are totally serious about actually truly and forevermore transforming your relationship with alcohol, really leaving it behind in the rear view mirror for once and forever more, and changing your psychology about it, we have a program called The PATH that is created specifically for you. Now it's not for you if you are still dabbling or still trying to figure out where you want to be or maybe even still want to moderate.

All those things are fine, but if you are beyond that and you're like, "No, I just want to be done with this. I'm ready to invest some time and I'm ready to just make this happen." I want you to check out nakedmindpath.com, and join us in The PATH where you can truly make this lasting change you want in your life. And as always, rate, review, and subscribe to this podcast as it truly helps the message reach somebody who might need to hear it today.

0:16.0	pain or rules, we explore the role of alcohol in our lives and culture.
0:29.9	Hey everybody, it's Scott Pinyard, head coach of this naked mind. And as you know, we've changed the
0:35.8	format for this coaching questions podcast, we're still going to answer awesome questions for you,
0:41.0	but I'm going to do it with a rotating co-host every week. This week I am very excited to have Wendy McCallum
0:48.0	with me. Wendy, how's it going? It's going great. I love the title of co-host. I'll take it. Yeah, I know. It's fun.
0:55.1	So Wendy is a certified this naked mind coach, but she also sort of specializes in burnout and
1:01.9	balance. And I want to talk a little bit about that, but before we get to that, Wendy, just tell us
1:05.6	your story. How did you end up coming to coaching? What has your journey been like? So I have had a
1:12.7	previous career for 12 years. I practiced law. That was kind of my first life, I call it my past life.
1:20.3	And in the course of that, it's kind of a long and complicated story, but I never really loved it.
1:26.3	It wasn't the right thing for me. I didn't realize that at the time I felt like I needed to figure
1:31.2	out how to make it fit. I had a really great job. I happened to be really good at it, which made
1:37.5	it even harder for me to leave. And that is why I stayed there for 12 years. I also had two kids
1:42.0	back to back within a seven-month period. One of them was adopted at birth and the other one was
1:48.0	born seven months later. So that all happened kind of just as my career was really picking up. So
1:54.6	things got really crazy in the last five years that I was practicing law. And this is relevant
1:59.0	because I think we're going to talk about burnout today. And I have my own story around burnout
2:02.7	and this kind of what this led to. So eventually, I got out of law. And I moved back to I'm from
2:11.2	Canada. I moved back to the other side of the country where I'm from and spent a year recovering
2:16.2	from burnout effectively. So took a year. My kids were four at the time and they were home from
2:22.0	school still. They hadn't started primary yet. So I spent a year with them at home, which was
