Burnout

The experience of living with burnout and exhaustion for professional, creative and highly sensitive women

Wateraid gives us feedback on caring

wateraidHow absolutely lovely to receive a note from Water Aid on Mothering Sunday in the UK.

Great to know our Christmas Chaos Charity Campaign gifts of taps and bog cement is making a difference in a village birthing centre in Tanzania.

 

Just a special feeling and moment to know we all helped in a very small but powerful way in other womens’ lives on this planet.  Embracing all your kindness and generosity this year.

Love, The Burnout Queens xx

Hello from Brighton & London: 5 March 2016

Hello from London & Brighton

I can feel spring in the air, can you?  Mother nature was determined to show her full compliment of force this February—sun , wind, rain, storms and new blooms, plus a Leap Day thrown in for good measure!  So…we took advantage of the  sunny days to enjoy early blooms in our neighbourhood park, while walking The Burnout Pups.  Nothing more exciting after a walk though than a newly opened bag of dogfood, especially when this pup turns it into a personal feast!

Did we say February was stormy?  No less than four wind storms hit us seaside.  Sometimes it was a challenge to keep standing in the 75 mile an hour windgusts.  I left Dr T holding tight to the streetlamp while I pushed my way to the end of the road to snap a shot of the high waves crashing onto the beach.  The picture isn’t great (I stood at a distinct angle to stay upright) but the sight and sound of those crashing waves were spectacular!  Really, the things we do to get shots for all of you.

The Burnout Pups aren’t the only ones who love a treat.  We unexpectedly found this darling little Valentine’s cake in the window of our local patisserie and knew that Sunday’s dessert was settled!  Our motto…always expect the unexpected (it was deliciously delightful).

Speaking of hearts,we  spent Valentine’s Day morning at a vintage fair!  We knew we were in trouble when we both recognised all the clothes, bangles and jewels as things we once wore as teenagers…so Happy Valentine’s Day…we are officially vintage?!  In honour of  the day, Dr B found herself these stunning pair of red shades to try on.  Definitely not her style or shape (whoosh, some things from the vintage fair should be left at the vintage fair me thinks)!

Of course, we did work in February.  We welcomed new members into our global women’s club (The Realm),  Dr T was head down finishing and editing the 2nd edition of our signature programme, and  Dr B was updating and blogging on all our social media platforms, and our own private membership site (which is totally different from a website) is completed and ticking over.  We’re always creating and this spring will be no different.  Stay tuned….

We can’t wait until March comes along.  The easter bunny always brings chocolate, Art Season officially arrives in London, new museum exhibits begin (we’re already filling in the diary), and who knows what we’ll be up to seaside!

Have a great leap into spring, push your clocks forward and see you at the beach! (we’ll be the ones with the 2 mini-dogs & tea)

Love, Dr Toby & Dr Bev xx
