#BookBlitz: It's Not Burnout It's Betrayal by Lora Cheadle @RABTBookTours


 

Five Tools to FUEL UP & Thrive


Business, Motivational

Date Published: January 21, 2025



According to the World Health Organization, burnout costs the U.S. over $500 billion annually. 

But what if it's not just burnout that’s leading to exhaustion and overwhelm? What if it's a sense of betrayal stemming from unmet expectations instead? 

The shocking truth is that, like burnout, a sense of betrayal can lead to disillusionment, resentment, and disconnection from others. Dissatisfaction will prevail until the root cause of those symptoms is identified and the correct solution applied.

This book provides readers with five tools to identify, manage, and prevent the root cause of burnout and feelings of betrayal. Thus, readers can rekindle enthusiasm, increase resilience, and stay engaged and innovative for the long haul.

Whether it's workplace culture, leadership, or work-life balance that's suffering, the FUEL UP Burnout Recovery Protocol will help. Learning to self-reflect, identify the root-cause of dissatisfaction, set and maintain boundaries, and advocate for yourself and the ideas that matter most are essential skills for leaders, managers, and employees alike.

Instead of quiet-quitting, or struggling to recruit or retain quality employees, you can develop the mindset and the skill set to thrive, and help others thrive, at work.

Hailey Fitzpatrick

When people see me walking on a New York City sidewalk, they think mousey b*tch and stuck-up c*nt. How do I know? It’s NYC. They yell it to my face. I smile to myself and keep walking. After all, I have clients that need me.

I’m wrapping up my first decade as a licensed clinical psychologist. Things are as good as they’ve ever been. Still, I get the itch. The tattoos worked into my skin take the edge off.

When one of my first clients goes on s*icide watch and on of my newest challenges the very ground on which I stand, I seek relief only being blindfolded and bound can bring.

Arlo Judge

Look all you want. Don’t f*cking touch me. No one does.

I’m no longer that little boy who cowers in fear. I’m six three, two hundred fifteen pounds of muscle, and own the largest conglomerates in the States. Still, that boy’s demons live inside me. One in particular looms over my shoulder, always ready to strike.

When I see her, perfectly poised and in command, I think nothing of the beautiful exterior. Then I see the demons lurking in her striking green eyes. I’m intrigued. Hooked. Obsessed.

I need to know how they came to be and how she hides them so well. I need to dig them out and set her free. I never expected that she could do the same for me.

Doctor Fitzpatrick is now accepting new clients!
