Burned Out? This Neurocoach Once Was Too with Keshawn Hughes

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.

Keshawn describes her typical client as an anxious achiever: someone who is high-achieving and passionate, but somehow still feeling stuck. She learned first-hand that having an outsider perspective on your challenges can be the clarity needed to navigate through the noise. She uses her knowledge of the brain, like how your brain reacts to stress, to get to the root of the problem.
