E259|Midlife crisis or opportunity? Helen Kewell on burnout, life’s transitions, and hitting reset

A ‘lifequake’. That’s how Helen Kewell describes the moment she collapsed at work after experiencing burnout.

Having been someone who would push through tough situations, someone whose identity was built on doing and achieving, Helen says she felt she was being stripped of her sense of self as her body said no and forced her to just ‘be’.

But after feeling like she was disappearing and being forced to hit the pause button, Helen’s new career in psychotherapy has opened up a new opportunity to explore some of the big topics that crop up when we hit midlife… and to smash the perception that midlife is a hurdle to overcome.

Here’s why you need to tune in 🎧

Hear how Helen tackled burnout, chronic fatigue syndrome and confronting her own mortality, why we need to be conscious of the impact of midlife on our partners and learn why Helen is taking steps now to plan for her next career interruption.

Here’s what to listen out for:

[01:28] The fallout from burnout.

[02:51] When your sense of self is deconstructed overnight.

[04:15] What contemplating mortality meant for Helen.

[07:21] Life transitions in an underserved audience.

[11:14] Men’s perspective on midlife.

[15:10] The motto that Helen lives by.

[16:49] Why Helen is planning another career interruption.

Ready to feel inspired? Press play now. ▶️▶️▶️ 

If you’ve ever seen midlife as a challenge or a hurdle that needs to be overcome, this is the conversation for you.
