Jess Ekstrom: Embracing the Journey Over the Destination in Burnout Recovery
“I think that getting super clear on what your mission is right now...if it's not serving the thing that I'm here to do, then it's taking away from it. No is a complete sentence.”
Ever feel like your self-worth is tied to your work? In this episode of The From Burnout to Recovery Show, Dr. Kate sits down with Jess Ekstrom, founder and CEO of Headbands of Hope, to chat about shifting focus from goals to the joy of the process.
Jess, who has made a massive impact by donating over a million headbands to kids with illnesses, shares her personal journey of attaching her value to her work and how she learned to appreciate the process instead of just chasing the end result. They dive into the importance of identifying your mission and saying no to opportunities that don’t align with it.
Jess also opens up about making peace with rejection and how establishing a writing practice can help you make sense of your thoughts. Plus, Dr. Kate guides listeners through a mindfulness exercise designed to help ground yourself and build resilience. If you’re feeling overwhelmed or burdened by work, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on finding fulfillment beyond the grind. Tune in and discover practical tips for loving the journey as much as the destination.
