The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

Navigating Burnout, Embracing Self-Care, and the Power of Play

In a recent episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur podcast, host Josh engages in a profound conversation with Laura Nguyen, an executive coach, marketing consultant, and founder of Solle Solutions. The episode delves into critical themes such as burnout, self-care, and the significance of play in both personal and professional settings. Laura shares her insights and experiences, offering valuable strategies for individuals and organizations to manage stress and enhance overall well-being. Laura Nguyen brings over 20 years of experience in digital marketing and has recently transitioned into coaching after experiencing burnout herself. Her journey led her to develop a coaching framework designed to help others navigate similar challenges. Laura's upcoming book, "Career Break Compass," aims to provide a structured approach to taking intentional time off and recovering from burnout. Burnout is a pressing issue, particularly among founders and business leaders, with nearly half reporting feelings of burnout, overwhelm, or anxiety, often considering exiting their organizations due to immense pressure. Laura introduces her four-piece model for self-care, which consists of Play, Pause, Plan, and Pursue. Each component plays a crucial role in maintaining a healthy work-life balance and preventing burnout. Play is essential for creativity and problem-solving, Pause involves regular check-ins and mindfulness, Plan focuses on setting and achieving goals, and Pursue encourages engaging in passions and new experiences. Laura also outlines eight steps to overcome fear and emphasizes the importance of building authentic relationships in business.
