Episode 123: Helping Women Design A Life They Love While Avoiding Burnout With Rebelle's Shannon Siriano Greenwood

<span style='font-weight: 400;'>We have all heard this story: </span> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>A woman has hit rock bottom. She is burnt out and is experiencing her dark night of the soul. Cornered by life, she feels like she has nowhere to turn.  </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>And then, miraculously, she has some major ah-ha moment–lightning strikes and everything is fixed. Birds sing, everyone breaks out into song, and the struggle is gone.  </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>I used to be addicted to these transformational stories. </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>These stories gave me hope that permanent change was possible. That one day I would be healed. I would be perfect. </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>The truth is, these stories of sudden transformative change keep us trapped and miserable. They feed us the lie that if we are still it is because something is wrong with us. They tell us that we haven’t suffered enough or that we haven’t been good enough to be transformed.</span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>My guest today, Shannon Siriano Greenwood, went through burnout–she hit her rock bottom and was able to climb back out. But her story is far from simple. It isn’t wrapped in a bow and it isn’t a song and dance number. </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>Shannon is the founder of Rebelle, a membership organization that brings together women of diverse backgrounds and industries, and Rebelle Con, a boutique conference about wellness, money, community, and creativity. Both of these programs grew out of what Shannon learned going through her own dark night of the soul experience. </span></p> <p><span style='font-weight: 400;'>Shannon is committed to change and to mental health as an on-going daily practice. As you will hear, some days she nails it and some days she has a lot of room for growth. </span></p> <p><strong>Listen to the full episode to hear:</strong></p> <ul> <li style='font-weight: 400;'><span style='font-we
