How to Avoid Burnout Side Hustle Tips

Meanwhile, on today’s episode, I’m talking to a bright, spunky, and not-apologetic academic coach, Tamara Yakaboski.  We cover everything from money issues, productivity, finding your niche, and what it’s really like to have a side hustle while working full-time on a college campus.  

Tamara Yakaboski, Ph.D., a recovering academic and rule-follower, now supports women’s transformation to break out of the rule book and live an unapologetic life in relation to nature. Tamara weaves together supportive partnerships with aspiring and current knowledge creators, community shapers, paradigm shifters, and rule-breakers. She uses her over-achieving trauma patterns to help women stand in their inner wisdom to go against the mainstream and live their impact. She does this through her unique G.R.O.W. methodology that helps folks (re)connect to themselves, community, and nature.

How to Avoid Burnout, Say NO to Your Boss, and Thrive in Your Student Affairs Career, with Christina Armstrong

Every once in a while, I get to interview a previous staff member from my housing days and it’s just as much fun to connect with them in that way than to get to know the new Side Hustler Person.  Christina Armstrong is one of those people.  

If you are a person who struggles to say “NO” in Student Affairs work, then this is the episode for you.  And I was reminded of Christina’s conviction in being a well rounded professional as well.  She taught me a thing or two during our interview.

Three Stupid Things You Should Avoid for Less Stress

I spent about five hours in urgent care this week - nothing too "urgent," per se, but I did have the doc tell me one thing:  you have too much stress right now.

YIKES.  Isn't that what they tell you when they are about to put you on medicine or tell you to lose 50 pounds?  Well, I do need to do the latter, but that's beside the point

By Friday of this past week, I was crying almost every hour and I finally figured out why.  So this week's episode is all about three things that are making me sick and stressed right now.

They aren't surprising things - they are probably things that happen to you, too.  And they are easy to mitigate and navigate, so stay tuned for a new episode in the coming weeks on how I'm choosing to deal with it all.  I have a plan, of course!
