so i had a concussion 3 months agodont worry im perfectly fine nowI wanted to wait a couple of months before sharing the details.And if you think I’m going to share in this email, I won’t--  you’ll just have to listen to the episode (I know I’m a tease…)We all know that whenever post Labor Day hits everyone is always feeling SO overwhelmed.We think we can be superheroes and do everything, when the reality is that we can’t and we have to be realistic and honest with ourselves, our bodies and the people we love.Getting the concussion I had to readjust to my expectations in body, mind and health, and maybe you also have to readjust to realistic expectations as well.Like you, I often think, “I miss being in my 20s, I was able to do everything.”But now that I’m older the reality is, “I was able to LIE to myself in my 20s, and do everything when the reality is that I didn’t know how to hold boundaries, and didn’t listen to my body to identify what is my  realistic energetic capacity.This episode is different—I'm being interviewed by Keeley Antonio for her Feelswell Experiences podcast.Honestly, I was going to record a separate solo episode about what happened, but since I talked to Keeley about it first, I figured:Let's work smarter, not harder, and just reshare it.OR maybe I’m just lazy? lolWhat We Cover in This Episode:Why work-life balance is a LIEHow to identify your realistic capacityWhat to do when you are overwhelmedHow I got my concussionIf you would like to see how to work with me to create a more sustainable life where you can be more present with yourself and create your own checklist of success that’s not created by society and loved ones, then schedule a complimentary legacy business and career review at elainelou.com/callResources Mentioned:feelswellexperiences.comlinkedin.com/in/keelyantonioPsychologytoday.comEpisode 54: Work-Life Balance: The Lie with Natalie KuhnWhere We Can Connect:Apply to the Business & Career Mastermind: elainelou.com/mastermindSchedule a Business & Career Audit call with me to see if it’s a good fit to work together: elainelou.com/callFollow the Podcast on Apple: WOC and Allies: Business and Career RealtalkFollow the Podcast on Spotify: WOC and Allies: Business and Career RealtalkFollow Elaine on Instagram: @elainelou_Connect with Elaine on LinkedIn: Elaine Lou CartasCheck out our other podcasts for Women of Color
