The Burnout Queens Wisdom: Reflect your gorgeous energy into the world
Burnout-Free Lifestyle
Can’t Keep Your Antlers Straight?
Can’t keep your antlers straight?…
You might just be in the Loop! That’s the B-Loop we’re talking about. What’s the B-Loop? Well my dears… B is for Burnout!
The holiday season is defined by stress and pressure: TV ads with sparkling lights and happy happy families, perfect dinners, happy families, mounds of presents, did we mention happy families?!!!
It’s enough to give you the chills! But you are a Burnout Queen so when the pressure hits you get going!
You vow you will..
- dig in and push harder
- achieve more
- write more lists, check them twice (no make that 10 times!)
- make double the shortbread
- plan the perfect Holiday menu
- craft like a crazy lady
- buy more lights for the house (the neighbours doubled theirs!)
- get more prezzies for the kids, musn’t disappoint
- create the perfect decorating scheme
- and get a reindeer for the front lawn (note to self make that a real one!)
Don’t look up you’re not done! You…
- need to paint the guestroom, (it’s tired)
- order the new sofa in time for the neighbourhood party
- find the perfect dress for the office party (not too sexy not too prim)
- make the Christmas pageant costumes (1 angel, 2 shepherds)
- lose the extra weight by the holidays
- and love your in-laws by Dec 24!
Welcome to the B-Loop! It’s a slippery slope with or without snow!
Burnout Queens think it’s normal to be in the Loop! We don’t recognise the pattern. Well, now you can! It looks like this…
stress >> dig in >> do more>> achieve less>> stress >>push harder
You live in the Loop with a smile on your face, you make it look easy and no one knows you are skating on thin ice! And because you make it look so easy-peasy everyone just expects you to do it all again…and again…and again…
Next year it will be different! We’ve heard that before, but now it can! Stick with us Darling Burnout Queens and we will show you how to get out of the Loop and stay out!

Afternoon Tea in The Realm: Defying Ordinary!
Just this past Friday, Dr Toby and I (Dr Bev) sat down at the dining table over a pot of tea and macarons (delish) while we filmed a video for our ladies in The Realm!
Our Afternoon Tea in The Realm discussion was…Defy Ordinary and what that means to you.
Half an hour of sipping, chatting, taking questions and sharing really fabulous opinions about how highly sensitive, creative and smart women can start defying ordinary in their own unique ways.
Next month’s topic already picked and it will start the New Year off on a high note. Can’t wait to get our member’s opinions on this one.

You’re Just Too Sensitive!
Of course you’ve heard these all your life. They don’t make you crazy, they just mean you are a highly sensitive person.

Here’s a great article from the Telegraph on what it means to be a Highly Sensitive Person. At the bottom of the article (at the moment I read it) 2.6 million people had already ‘liked it’.

Goodness, the 20% of HSP’s in the population (just in the US) make up a rather large and might I say, creative group.
Never underestimate the power of ‘not so loud’ people in your midst. We have an important role to play in business, interpersonal relationships and families.
Love, The Burnout Queens (two highly sensitive women and proud to be born as such) xx
PS: Don’t be shy! Leave us your comments if you think you are highly sensitive and how it has formed your opinion of yourself.
