Joseph - 00:00 Okay, one day we're gonna conquer the world, the next day is like, don't bother me, I'm not getting out of bed. So it's just like learning how to do all this manic swing of energy, not energy, not energy. Avery - 00:13 Hi, I'm Avery Thatcher, a former ICU nurse, and this is not your standard stress management podcast where we just focus on those band-aid solutions like the benefits of meditation, mindfulness, and self-care. You already know that you need some kind of recovery strategy to deal with your stressful life. But what you may not know are all of the sneaky ways that society, our upbringing and our high achieving nature and so many other factors contribute to our risk of burnout. That, my friend, is what we talk about here on this podcast because you can't do something about a situation that you're not aware of, right? So if you're ready to get out of the pattern of burning out, feeling better, only to burn out again, it's time for us to shut the light on the truth about burnout. Okay I am so excited today because this is my first ever double guest episode and I feel when I first met Joseph, I just connected with him right away and felt like we had so much to share and talk about and then when he shared about his partner I was just like okay I think I need to talk to both of you because I feel like Melissa and I have a lot in common which is both nice because then you have someone you can talk to but also sad because he knows what somebody else is going through So welcome Joseph and Melissa. Melissa - 01:32 It's so nice to be here. Joseph - 01:33 Yeah it's really a pleasure and Avery you're doing a great work you know just in the community of professionals I think the more we can talk about the subject and how we can support it's just our own careers and ambitions but also kind of a holistic life approach is really good. Avery - 01:48 Absolutely and I'm sure we're going to talk a little bit about this Melissa but I feel like there are some skills that I was forced to learn That would have been so much more helpful earlier on, the like energy pacing and some of the other components. You're just like, well, why didn't I learn that sooner? Melissa - 02:07 Yeah, it's been it's been a long road, lots of learning, that's for sure. Avery - 02:13 Yeah, absolutely. So tell me a little bit about that road for you. What does your journey look like? Melissa - 02:18 So I was diagnosed with my first autoimmune disorder disease. I've heard it a lot of different ways. When I was seven and so I was in elementary school and this is like a month of school and it wasn't at the time it didn't feel like a huge deal because it was just psoriasis and so nobody really got it besides like oh you've got dry skin or like that's kind of what they assumed and it took me years as a child to realize How it was affecting me outside of like what you could see that I was more tired than the other kids or that I got sick a lot more. Little things like that. So then my second autoimmune disease showed up in high school and I was 15 and that's when I got rheumatoid arthritis and that one felt a lot harder. Because I was a competitive pianist. Melissa - 03:33 So that was the first time that it severely affected my life because everything hurt. I couldn't play sports, I wasn't active. And I did cut back on piano. I ended up, it ended up being the reason that I didn't major in piano in college or like these different life choices that I had to spin around that. And that was pretty much it until COVID hit. And as you know, stress just makes another one pop up. And it was lockdown. Melissa - 04:14 We had become foster parents right before lockdown. And so we had a little baby and then we started homeschooling because our older five weren't doing really well with the online school like at all because we have some other kids with learning disabilities from adoption. And that's when the Graves' disease popped up. And that one affected, affected everything, but I'd say that my energy was the biggest one. Energy and brain fog, those are the two things I remember. Like, all of a sudden, I couldn't remember what I was doing. Like, I would be halfway through a sentence and just lose it and that was the first time for me. Melissa - 05:01 Like, the brain fog hadn't showed up before and it showed up with the Graves' disease and that was really bad. Plus, you know, everything comes with Graves' disease. I had the hyper... when your weight is too... Hyperthyroidism? Yes, but I... metabolism, thank you. Look at this, we're playing trades over here. Avery - 05:26 That's it, brain fog in action. I recognize, oh good. Melissa - 05:31 Yeah, so the hypermetabolism made my anxiety super bad. Avery - 05:38 Oh, of course. Melissa - 05:40 And I didn't realize that would do that. Like, it was like I was being attacked by a lion all the time. So since then, I've made some major life changes and got a ...
