Hi, everyone! 🌟 In this week’s episode of Live Well, Be Well, I sit down with the brilliant psychotherapist Sophie Scott to dive deep into the topics we all need to hear more about: burnout, boundaries, and balanced living. Sophie brings her wealth of knowledge and experience as a therapist and author to the conversation, shedding light on how we can support our mental health while nurturing meaningful relationships.

We start by unpacking the signs of burnout—something that affects over 80% of employees—and how to address it before it spirals. Sophie shares actionable strategies for identifying compassion fatigue and building resilience, a topic she explores extensively in her book, You're Not Alone In This. We also discuss the role of boundaries in protecting our energy and how past experiences can shape our relational patterns. Plus, Sophie explains how to find the right therapist and why aligning our actions with our values is key to living authentically.

Sophie’s personal journey is as inspiring as her professional insights. From her early experience with loss to pivoting her career from founder of Balance Magazine to becoming a psychotherapist, her story is a testament to the power of transformation and self-discovery.
