Listen "From Burnout to Balance | 053"
Episode Synopsis
Struggling with burnout and fatigue and want to feel energized and in control of your life? Ilana Kosakiewicz, one of Australia’s leading kinesiologists, shares strategies for combating stress and listening to your body, to do the things that light you on fire! Trying to be the ‘good girl’ and following the socially acceptable path as a corporate accountant had Ilana battling chronic fatigue, autoimmune disease, exhaustion, and a lack of fulfillment. Kinesiology helped restore her mental and emotional vitality, leading her to become a holistic practitioner to help others. We discuss the importance of balancing masculine and feminine energy, differentiating between internal and external references, acting in alignment with values and boundaries, and going with your gut. Tune in for a conversation about permission…to slow down, listen, break free of expectation and obligation, say no to the ‘shoulds,’ and take action on what you really want. TESS’S TAKEAWAYS: Connect with your body’s intelligence and energy through kinesiology. Mental and emotional issues often manifest in physical ailments. Balancing your masculine and feminine energies is crucial for wellbeing. A practice of listening to your body keeps you connected to what you want. If it drains you, it’s time to reassess, set boundaries, or let it go. Resentment is often a sign you’re living by someone else’s rules. Values and boundaries change. Reassess regularly. Put your attention on what lights you up.
