Managing Stress and Recovering from Burnout with Jonathan Hoover

The Alli Worthington Show

Welcome back! This week, we are with Jonathan Hoover. We are going to learn all about how to protect ourselves from burnout, if we're burned out, how to heal, how to recover, and how to manage our stress in a healthy way.

This is such an important topic in our health series because so much of our health has to do with how we are doing and how we're managing stress. Are we on the verge of burnout? Are we just emotionally overwhelmed? Are we weary? These are the things that we need to talk about. We're going to get strategies and tools. We're going to have some light bulb moments. And even though the topic's a little bit heavy, we're going to have a lot of fun.

Jonathan Hoover, PhD, serves as the Senior Associate Pastor of NewSpring Church in Wichita, Kansas. He also works as an Assistant Professor at Regent University’s School of Psychology and Counseling, where he is the Director of the Master of Science in Psychology program.

In Jonathan’s new book, Stress Fracture: Your Ultimate Guide to Beating Burnout, he shares how to reclaim control of your life and win the battle against burnout.

Join Jonathan and I as we talk about:

• Breaking the myth that all burnout is work-related
• The different phases of burnout
• How to manage our stress to recover from burnout
• Signs we may be susceptible to burnout that we should keep an eye out for
