In this episode of the Emerging Women Podcast , we have one of our favorite guests, Neha Sangwan, a thought leader and international spokeswoman bridging people in positions of power to humanity and helping humanity discover their power. She is a powerhouse. She first brought her work to Emerging Women back in 2015, in San Francisco, with her book TalkRx: Five Steps to Honest Conversations That Create Connection, Health, and Happiness and she basically rocked the stage! She’s an internal medicine physician, a mechanical engineer and an executive coach. She has an amazing propensity for looking at human potential in everything she does. Join us as Neha takes us through her personal journey through burnout and the story behind her newest book Powered By Me: From Burned Out to Fully Charged at Work and in Life . She deep-dives into her personal definition of failure, how she believes that healing burnout should never be done alone, and some of the needed boundaries to stave off burnout. Finally, Neha sheds some light on how burnout-anger can be turned into something useful for us.

So, I’m really saying ‘yes’ to creating the world I want” — Neha Sangwan, Emerging Women Podcast — “The way I’ve changed being a traditional doctor to writing books, speaking, paving a new path in health care and for women and in the world, is because failure is – to me – a sign that I have stretched outside my comfort zone, I’m in the unknown, I’m paving a new path, and like, ‘woohoo, woohoo, I’m a failure!’. Like, fail and fail fast! Learn from it, grow!” — Neha Sangwan, Emerging Women Podcast — “I always think to myself ‘good for you, Neha, ’cause you went, you took a risk, you trusted yourself, you took a risk, you went somewhere that you didn’t know or expect. I’m proud of you, that took courage. And what did you learn here?’ So, whatever pain I get, whether it’s financially or emotionally or any kind of pain that I get, I always ask myself ‘Are you ready to graduate from this life lesson or do you need more pain to get the lesson?’” — Neha Sangwan, Emerging Women Podcast — “Burnout is a wake-up call, burnout is not a personal failure! Burnout is a wake-up call that you’ve outgrown the coping mechanisms in your life that have gotten you here and you’re someone who wants to do it all, you want to achieve and aspire. But healing burnout is a team sport, not an individual game. If you are going to isolate yourself and try to do this all alone, it’s going to be a much harder climb” — Neha Sangwan, Emerging Women Podcast — ​​“If you want to motivate yourself, guess what, that inter-critic that kicks you up and down the street, doesn’t provide the same results as a hand on the heart saying ‘baby, you’ve got this!’” — Chantal Pierrat, Emerging Women Podcast — ​​“Until you understand your relationship to anger, you will not be effective at healing it outside of you” — Neha Sangwan, Emerging Women Podcast Stay Connected: Chantal Pierrat Twitter: Chantal Pierrat LinkedIn: Chantal Pierrat Emerging Women Website: Emerging Women Twitter: Emerging Women Facebook: Emerging Women Instagram: Emerging Women LinkedIn: Emerging Women Youtube: Emerging Women Neha Sangwan Website: Neha Sangwan Instagram: Neha Sangwan
