The Burnout Queens Wisdom: Be awake to the sounds of life
Hello from Brighton & London 3 October 2015
October means Autumn (Fall to our North American lovelies) has arrived. Here by the seashore we’ve been enjoying sun, wind, crashing waves and the beautiful super moon rising above the roof terrace!
September brings the art fair season. Brighton Art Fair blew us away and gave us a chance to meet artists in our own backyard. Of course, we stopped for tea and Victoria Sponge amidst the paintings and decided a bigger art budget is now required. Another fine day we hopped a coastal train to the next town of Worthing for a look-round and a little shopping (winter boots were on the list).
The Burnout Queens love day trips, especially when it involves being London bound. Imagine beauty, greenery, history, and art all rolled into one garden. Ta-dah! The Chelsea Physic Garden is stunning this time of year (even with the short sharp shower we endured standing in the midst of blooms) and it holds a very special place in Dr T’s ancestory!
And what would our days be without sharing a walk and cuppa with The Burnout Pups. ‘Cafe manners’ training is their new skill set to ensure we sit inside over the winter (so far staff have all fingers)!
Between adventures we worked a little too, launching new digital classes and our new global, members only, club for women The Realm! We sincerely promise to set a good example and Defy Ordinary (any excuse for an adventure, wink wink)!
Day trips and pet sitter already booked for October, and we can’t wait to snap-the-adventures for you.
Until next time, Embrace Life!
PS: If you fancy making your own life adventure that little bit bigger, braver or bolder then please join us in The Realm! We are all waiting to welcome you. (https://theburnoutqueens.com/the-realm).

The Burnout Queens Wisdom: Do something special for yourself today
Self-Doubt gets the nudge!
You know those moments when you say yes to something and when the time comes to do it, you wonder if you actually ‘can’? You get that creeping moment of doubt that undermines you. (what was I thinking!)
Lack of confidence and self-doubt is an awful place to be. It’s unnerving and keeps you in a jittery state. Yuck.
This truly is a state of mind, and we’re here to help you give that ‘doubting Thomasina the nudge. Ready…
- Make a list of your strengths (we know you have strengths). Finish this sentence, “I am good at ___”. Start listing them.
- Then memorise them (they are based on facts and memories)
- Put them in your pocket, briefcase, wallet, purse and keep them with you.
Next time you say yes to something, and the doubt and lack of confidence starts creeping up on you, whip out that list and give yourself a boost.
Turn those moments of doubt into moments of triumph!
Until next time, Grab Life By the Crown! The Burnout Queens xx
You are already a perfect gift!
