Annette Hines, host of Parenting Impossible the Special Needs Survival Podcast, interviews returning guest, original Parenting Impossible producer, mentor, popular author, and coach on ADD, Dave Greenwood, to talk about his second book, Burnout. As the pandemic has raged on people have become tired, weary, less patient with one another. When we start despising our life, and the people in it and cynicism sets in we feel disconnected from the people in our life. Is this a sign of burnout? Join us as Annette Hines and Dave Greenwood tackle this very timely subject!
In Dave Greenwood’s research for his book, he interviewed over twenty people to understand the signs of burnout and ways to cure it. He initially started his research because he could not find information on how to deal with his own. The way we are living in this time of Covid has caused us to lose our natural breaks in our day, our daily boundaries are blurred and gray. Caregivers, new moms, parents with young children are managing activities and responsibilities all day right from kitchen table. How have we become co-founders of burnout, locking us into a never-ending cycle of stress? What are the physical and mental signs of burnout? How do we learn to not overcommit? Join us as Annette and Dave discuss how to recognize burnout and tips on how to fix it
Dave Greenwood is an author, entrepreneur and has a passion for helping others stay focused whether they have ADHD or not. His first book, Overcoming Distractions-Thriving with Adult ADHD explores how those successful in business deal with distractions and put the “gift” of ADHD to beneficial use in their lives. In addition to a book, Dave has owned a Boston restaurant, karate school and started his own public relations firm. His second book, Burnout comes out this year and tackles the questions about our stressed-out hustle culture world.
