Manage episode 486890075 series 3472766
In this new episode of We Recover Loudly, host Shell is joined by Merly Kammerling - a therapeutic coach and integrative therapist with over a decade of experience supporting professionals in the hospitality industry. Together, they explore the far-reaching impact of burnout, both from Merly’s clinical work and her personal journey through mental health recovery.
This conversation dives deep into the connection between adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) and workplace burnout, the pressures of working environments, and the essential role of emotional boundaries, self-care, and trauma-informed support. Shell and Merly also open up about navigating grief, reclaiming their identities, and how transformational healing can emerge from professional and personal collapse.
Whether you're in the service industry, recovering from burnout, or rethinking your own work-life balance, this episode offers real tools, real stories, and real hope.
