Elizabeth Rosenberg shares her personal journey from burnout to spiritual awakening.
“And I learned through therapy that I would also give myself migraines not only to give myself a time out but to punish myself for not being successful at what I had set out to do, which is just like mind-blowing to me because you're like, oh my God, like you did this to yourself.”
After experiencing severe corporate burnout, Elizabeth found herself in the emergency room with a migraine where she lost all her motor skills. Elizabeth was a very driven individual who had always been focused on work and self-validation. She would work 60-70 hours a week to prove her own self-worth and success to herself, and societal pressure to get married and have kids pushed her to throw herself into work. Elizabeth shares how her twin sister's success contributed to her own drive and how she felt the need to prove her own self-worth through her career.
Elizabeth realized that she would also give herself migraines to punish herself for not meeting her own expectations. She shares how her body was protecting itself by giving her migraines when she needed to rest. Elizabeth worked with a metaphysical healer who helped her realize that she is responsible for how she reacts and feels about everything. In this episode, Elizabeth reminds us of the importance of taking care of ourselves and finding balance in our lives.
