Listen "#45: Lessons learned - From workaholism to wellness"
Episode Synopsis
Life is for living, isn’t it? We all want to enjoy our life, get the most from it, spending our time doing nice, fun things. For lots of people this outlook on life creates a belief that thinking about your health and taking care of yourself will hold you back from living your life to the full.
For our guest today she loved her life and wanted to make the most of it, so had the opinion that life was too short to worry about her health. Carol Deveney was a self-confessed workaholic who took so much from the work she did and the success she’d accomplished in her career. Striving to build two businesses she was looking for the unlock to the next level of success and was shocked to get the advice that she needed to prioritise her health if she wanted to achieve further business growth.
Carol shares her story of recently facing a very scary and high risk health issue that made her realise her beliefs and approach to how she lived weren’t ones that were actually designing the type of life she wanted to be able to live and enjoy.
During our conversation we explore:
The risks you put yourself under when you ignore your health.
How Carol was unaware of the silent issues she was facing in her health.
Why you need to listen more to your body and regularly check-in with how you’re feeling.
The dangers that come from neglecting yourself and why taking a long-term view of your life helps you to make changes to your self care.
The importance of setting clear boundaries to prioritise your health and wellbeing.
What Carol is doing to improve her health and the ripple effect her lifestyle changes have had on other areas of her life.
Approaching your health as the biggest investment you can make for your future self and life.
