| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Get Your Globe at podcast. I'm joined today by Danielle North, author and founder of Paws, coaching retreats and workshops for busy people on the brink of burnout. |
| 0:14.5 | Danielle has a long work history as a successful executive coach in the corporate industry, working with top-level executives at companies |
| 0:23.0 | such as HSBC, McKenzie, Uni-Eba and SAP. After learning that goals and ambitions could be |
| 0:29.5 | just as happily and successfully achieved when simply allowing the body and mind to pause, |
| 0:34.4 | she now supports her clients to flow rather than fight against the ups and downs of |
| 0:39.3 | life. On today's episode, Danielle shares the wake-up call she experienced that told her to pause |
| 0:44.2 | why so many of us are experiencing burnout, why pausing is such an important thing to do and how to do it. |
| 0:51.5 | I'm so excited to share this episode with you. Let's bring on the wonderful |
| 0:54.9 | Danielle. Danielle, welcome to the podcast. It's my pleasure to be here. It is a very weird time |
| 1:05.0 | that we're living currently in, just the beginning of lockdown in the UK with coronavirus as we're recording this over |

| 1:18.2 | house parties, the dinner parties to see each other. It's a fantastic way of connecting people |
| 1:23.9 | and a great way to record podcasts as well. Danielle, you are someone that I met |
| 1:31.3 | quite recently and fell in love with everything that you do and devoured your book. I'm really, |
| 1:38.1 | really excited to be chatting you today all about burnout and taking a pause because probably |
| 1:43.8 | more than ever we've all been |
| 1:45.5 | forced to take a pause, not all of us but for many of us. And I think it will be really |
| 1:51.1 | interesting to chat to you all about it. Yeah, it's a very surreal situation, isn't it? When on a |
| 1:58.2 | global scale for many people, life is pressing the pause button at the moment. |
| 2:03.6 | Absolutely. And you began this journey into, would you call it personal well-being? I'm not sure what way you would categorise it through your own journey of burnout. |
| 2:16.6 | I'd love to hear a little bit about it and what |
| 2:19.1 | burnout is. Yeah, I did about eight years ago, I suppose now. I had my own experience of burnout. |
