Get back on track, a holistic approach to stress and burnout with Rikky So



I’m very excited to be joined today by Rikky So. Rikky is an accredited, practising dietitian, nutritionist, yoga and meditation teacher. Rikky has a special interest in mental health and helps her clients who are struggling with stress and anxiety to experience better sleep, better mood and better focus. 

In this episode, Rikky and I are exploring how to get back on track with a holistic approach to stress and burnout. When we’re in the messy middle and our days are jam packed full of tasks and jobs that are demanding our time, we can start to become pushed towards burnout. 

Rikky is here to help! Her signature 12-week coaching program, Foggy to Focused, uses a holistic framework of mindfulness, movement, nutrition and sleep strategies to help high achieving professionals find calm, stress less and prevent burnout. Together, we explore how to prevent and bring yourself out of burnout with a roadmap to take care of your mental health every day. 

Burnout puts your brain under tremendous stress and can lead to serious physiological effects so it’s imperative that you take the time now to invest in your mind and body. After all, in 10 years you still want to be living a healthy and happy life with a business that lights you up. 

I know you’ll find so much value in Rikky’s advice and experience. You can take a look at her programs on her website to find out more and work with her to holistically feel incredible every day.

Topics We Covered:

[3:31]: You can become disconnected from your body and you don’t notice burnout creeping up.

[4:14]: Pride in being busy can make us feel successful but it can lead us to sacrifice self care and push us further to burnout.

[5:18]: Resting is productive.

[6:56]: We start our businesses for flexibility and having time to do our own thing but we often end up having less time because we’re always working in the business.

[10:56]: Tips for busy business owners - Look at why you’re not implementing these pillars and what’s holding you back. Find ways to have them fit in with your lifestyle.

[13:26]: The 4 pillars are interconnected so you need to look at each one holistically.

[15:51]: Stress and anxiety aren’t relieved with one yoga session. Rikky focuses on a sustainable business and, through her programs, she provides tools to help you to improve your mental health.

[16:46]: Burnout puts your brain under tremendous stress. Rikky explores the emotional and physiological effects of not looking after your stress and mental health.
