I started my masters in Chinese medicine over 22 years ago. It was on the very first day of school that I met .vosen.

Shelves like these that I walked past in Chinatown were my everyday. During and after school, I’d spend a total of about 6 months in China for various trainings and self cultivation retreats.

Sitting here in Chinatown now - with the smells and the people - brings me back there in a second and seeing these shelves makes me nostalgic.

I still use Chinese medicine theory daily but it would be a lie to say that I remember everything, that I haven’t forgotten herb and formula names along the way.

You can have a deep deep passion and even love for your work & for your knowledge - and still burn out.

One of the best things I’ve noticed doing burnout coaching over the years is that 80% of clients actually stay in their jobs and careers because they found their way back to loving them.

My burnout happened, my world shifted and covid happened and I needed to share the things I learned on a larger scale and so - for now - I’m not practicing acupuncture.

And yet. I’m still licensed and still do my CEUs. I still love an herb shop in Chinatown and I’m still amazed at what acupuncture can help people accomplish with their health and wellbeing.

You can take your loves with you as you grow. They can grow and change and adapt with you. And you never know, life may bring you full circle someday.

How about you? Did burnout change your career trajectory or help you stay in work that you were passionate about?

Flora loves the grass outside of our local library.

So she lays here and I wait for her.

Flora has a 0% burnout risk because she has great boundaries and always lets us know exactly what she wants - very clearly.

Where you could be more clear about an accessible desire?

What could you actually have or do that you want to have or do but you’re holding back because of emails or false deadlines?

It can feel relieving to find reasons for behaviors, patterns, beliefs, and reactions in your life. But finding those reasons shouldn’t be the end of your growth - it should be the beginning.

Finding new context allows you to reintegrate parts of your story in new ways. When you’re in the process of reframing you get to choose how the story gets told.

Which spirit feels unbalanced to you?

I’ve had this on my wall in various offices and apartments for over 20 years.

The Big Picture

In Chinese medicine, each of your major organs isn’t just a physical part of your body. It’s also linked to a part of your mind, emotions, and spirit. These parts are called the shen. Together, they shape how you think, feel, dream, and respond to life.

Think of them like an inner team — each member has a role. When they’re balanced, you feel whole, clear, and resilient. When they’re off, it can show up as stress, burnout, confusion, or physical symptoms.

The Five Spirits

Hun (Liver) – The Dreamer

This is your inner visionary. Hun gives you creativity, imagination, and the ability to see possibilities. It helps you dream, plan, and find purpose.

Out of balance: you may feel stuck, aimless, or lost in frustration.

Shen (Heart) – The Connector

This is the “main spirit” that makes you you. Shen is about consciousness, awareness, joy, and your ability to connect with others.

Out of balance: you may feel scattered, anxious, or cut off from people.

Yi (Spleen) – The Thinker

This is your focus and intellect. Yi helps you concentrate, study, and make sense of the world.

Out of balance: you may overthink, worry, or feel mentally exhausted.

Zhi (Kidneys) – The Willpower

This is your drive, courage, and persistence. Zhi helps you keep going when things are tough.

Out of balance: you may feel fearful, unmotivated, or constantly depleted.

Po (Lungs) – The Instincts

This is your animal side, your body’s instinct to breathe, feel, and survive. Po grounds you in the here and now, and connects you to your senses.

Out of balance: you may feel grief that won’t let go, or a sense of being cut off from your body.

In my years helping thousands recover from burnout, I’ve observed that most leaders are operating at diminished capacity for months before they recognize the problem.

The neurological impact starts long before we’re willing to admit something’s wrong.

I’m thrilled to join fellow burnout specialist Jahmaal Marshall and Coaching.com’s Rosette Cataldo on September 11th for “This Is Your Brain on Burnout... Any Questions?” where we’ll share:

• The subtle warning signs that indicate your brain is under stress
• Evidence-based recovery techniques I’ve developed with my clients
• Implementation frameworks to prevent burnout recurrence

My aunt came over today to add a hook and loop clasp to a new dress. Here’s what she pulled out.

In a world where we toss things so quickly and don’t give things their full shelf life, it was a good reminder that some things don’t go bad.
