Welcome to the show
In this heartfelt episode I sit down with Jahmaal Marshall, a certified counsellor, executive coach, and host of the Listen Then Speak podcast. Jahmaal shares his powerful journey from a traumatic childhood with an abusive, addicted father to becoming a beacon of healing and transformation. We dive into the realities of burnout, setting boundaries, and the deep work necessary to heal from past wounds.
Key topics include:
Root Causes of Burnout: Jahmaal explains how unresolved trauma can drive overachievement and people-pleasing, leading to burnout. His journey from always being “available” to setting healthy boundaries is both relatable and inspiring.
The Power of Vulnerability: Jahmaal’s story of reconciling with his father, navigating grief after his loss, and transitioning from government work to launching his own business highlights the importance of facing emotions head-on.
Rewire and Renew Framework: Jahmaal shares insights into his coaching methodology, which focuses on addressing the root causes of stress and burnout, rather than just surface-level symptoms.
The Power of the Pause: One of Jahmaal’s key teachings is recognising triggers and pausing to reflect, helping to shift from reactive behaviours to thoughtful responses.
The ONE Thing
Healing from burnout and emotional exhaustion starts with addressing the root causes of stress. By recognising triggers, setting boundaries, and doing the internal work, you can transform both your personal and professional life.
