How I broke the hustle/burnout cycle and experienced *true* rest.

By the time I had my daughter, I was knee deep in burnout. My mental health was suffering, I was stuck in a cycle of hustle culture-burnout, people pleasing, you name it. In this video I share my raw story on burnout, how I got there in the first place, and specific shifts made that helped me to recover from burnout. It was the catalyst that kicked off my minimalism and slow living journey, I hope it blesses you.

Did any one of these hit a cord more than most? I'd love to know which area you're looking to focus on to heal

[@TheBlessedLifeee]

Which mineral supplement do you recommend from your Amazon storefront?

[@alitan5069]

Learning my worth! Huge learning curve for me. High performer. Trying to live in constant burnout.

[@jessicarothley]

@@alitan5069 speaking my language!

[@jessicarothley]

@@TheBlessedLifeee it totally depends, you can't go wrong with focusing on your Na and K (like the adrenal cocktail powder and using it in coconut water or the pickleball especially if pregnant or nursing) and have a topical magnesium. I deep dive in my mineral video, let me add it to the description.

Control.

You speak so much wisdom here, Jessica. At 53, I have been on this road my entire life. It was when I was 31, after my mother died, that I came face-to-face with burnout, suicidal ideation, and myself. Perfectionism, productivity, and achievement for over 10 years had me so low. I took time off from my business and I had to LEARN how to have fun, make friends, read fiction. I've made a lot of progress in the last almost-20 years. However, now in a time of peri-menopause, I am facing again those innate and learned patterns that keep me anxious and striving. I pray that your videos continue to feed me, you and others to let go of rules and embrace our God-given joy, worth, and BEingness. Thank you!

[@jessicarothley]

thank you for sharing. What a journey you have been on and are currently on, I'm grateful my content is helping you in any way!

[@heatherflynn]

Girl I found your channel recently and it is really resonating with me so much! My goal for the rest of this year is to really work on healing my nervous system. I am exactly the same as how you were in terms of over-achieving, constantly on the go and never truly present or able to rest. Your videos are filled with such guidance and you totally glow from the inside out in all of your videos! Thanks for sharing your wisdom and all the best on your journey ❤

[@jessicarothley]

what kind words and I am so glad it is resonating! I think a lot of us are in the same camp of previous over acheivers!

[@MargieLeigh3]

the hardest part for me is actually doing it. the boredom is literally painful for me but i need it to heal. great video and advice :)

[@jessicarothley]

I totally get that!

[@hollywilliams04]

Ummmm girl. I literally had to sit and screenshot the captions several times in this video because the WISDOM. Thank you for sharing. It really spoke to me!

[@jessicarothley]

I'm so glad!

[@happyandfreehealing]

Yes to all of this. I run a limbic system healing program and this is sooooo integral to healing!!!

[@rachelmunoz]

This video was exactly what I needed to hear!! Thank you so much!

[@merseysidedream]

Thank you Jessica, I think this channel is meant for woman, but I was blessed by your honesty and authenticity. It just gets tiring to keep working hard and pleasing people and I have and still struggle with this over thinking and pondering and worrying and etc. etc etc, and part of it or much is because of rejection and pain that builds up... its a harsh world Jessica. Am glad you are coping well and shining for others to shine too, pls keep it going, bless you.

[@jessicarothley]

so grateful it spoke to you:)

[@allanahhickey556]

I wasn’t even looking for this video but it popped up and I’m so glad, it exactly what I needed one year postpartum ❤

[@tarastone640]

I’m so happy I found your channel! Thank you for your encouragement! You had me at Sabbath ❤

[@sofianuri9354]

Can't relate more to EVERYTHING said in this video. Thank you!

[@IB-nz5wp]

Admirative of how well you articulate the experience you went to through. Thank you for sharing it with the world 🙏🏼

[@rvchill]

A lot of the topics you cover really tie into buddhism well, especially concerning moral responsibility and balancing your moral worth with work. I just recently found your channel and I love your videos especially about minimalism and how to declutter your mind and home! ❤ I’m not a mom (yet or maybe never) but I still binge everything. - Awesome video!!

[@Expanded-Wellness]

Thank you for sharing this Jessica! I can definitely relate to the burnout from constantly putting yourself into a state of doing. And yes, perfectionism and control...those are two big ones for me too!

[@HealthandHomemaking]

Thank you for creating this video sis ❤

[@piper_sss]

The over achievement is ME ! Always need a goal. Never content with today. It's exhausting, and I'm a Christian. I know I should rest like Jesus but I don't know how. I feel lost without a plan or a goal.

[@jessicarothley]

I totally get that, this whole channel is basically my story of coming out of that mindset of striving for my worth, i hope it speaks to you !

[@MsJelsica]

So excited for another video! I’m obsessed with your insight and wisdom. As a new Mum struggling, I’m Grateful for you ❤

[@jessicarothley]

So grateful these are a help:)

[@randaranodalova]

Loved the video. I am also trying to heal and detach from hustle culture and your videos resonate with me. Can you make a video about the decision to be a stay at home mom and motherhood?

[@jessicarothley]

Currently working on a video about moving from hustle and career oriented to stay at home mom. It should come out in august! It's been a while because I have a lot of thoughts to sort through haha

[@Alexa19995]

Had to rewatch this one Jessica! Exactly the journey I’m on right now. Such a soul nourishing and affirming video. Thank you for helping light the path forward. Would love to hear more about all of these on the list😊

[@jessicarothley]

so glad it spoke to you!

[@HerCupOfSIMPLE]

What an inspiring video this was, Jessica😊❤

[@RehannahB]

Wow this was my motto 10:35 "I can do anything if I put my mind to it or if I put in the time and effort", but true, this isn't freedom.

[@ThatsTravelUSA]

Love this ❤

[@IAmPhasion]

I love your videos i recently started following you this video was definitely on point because i have been feeling like this until one day i had to take a step back prayed and realized im doing too much and for what lol . I found that i actually love nature and coloring and the simple things .

[@jessicarothley]

haha isn't that the truth. i think we are moving to too fast to even stop and ask ourselves "why"

[@frizzysocks]

Jessica, know that this video has so blessed me. You have struct a lot of cords in my listening to this, it may aswell have been a symphony 😂 Thank God for his wisdom and for you heading it and sharing your journey. Sending you and your household love from Australia 😘

[@jessicarothley]

hahah a symphony, i love it!

[@JP12337]

Thank you for your videos! I love your approach to health, motherhood, and life in general. Could you share in the future how you run a business without social media? I’m a mom of two and want to start a KZbin, but I DO NOT want to get back on Instagram, so I’d love to hear your tips :)

[@angiedelatorre_]
