June 7, 2021

We’ve all got goals, but there is nothing worse than feeling stuck in pursuit of them. Even harder? Avoiding burnout in today’s society, where “success” becomes the synonym to busy. In today’s episode of Lift U Up: Inspiring Health Stories, our guest Keshawn Hughes talks about it all: how you can recognize the signs of burnout, how you can avoid it, and the resources available to beat it. The Neurocoach also shares how burnout has impacted her life, and how it eventually led to finding her passion of helping others help themselves.

Keshawn Hughes is a certified Neuroscience Coach, on a mission to help as many women as possible to optimize their brains for better health and overall success. Her role as a coach, put simply, is to help people step from one level of their life to the next. With a background in communications and marketing, Keshawn is a communicator first, with a passion for the workings of the brain.

She uses her knowledge of the brain, like how your brain reacts to stress, to get to the root of the problem.
