202 | Overcoming Midlife Burnout: A Conversation with Dr. Eric Recker

Welcome back, friend! In this episode, Heather Pettey, certified life coach, author, speaker, wife and mother, addresses the pressing issue of burnout and overwhelm, especially among parents. Heather shares personal experiences and insights, highlighting the importance of acknowledging and addressing parental burnout.

She is joined by Dr. Eric Recker, a dentist and elite success coach, who shares his journey dealing with stress and burnout. Eric's story includes overcoming challenges through intentional action, such as delegating tasks, incorporating stress management practices like journaling and walking, and reevaluating his relationship with his phone. The discussion also touches on the significance of faith and mindfulness. Heather encourages listeners to raise their hands and seek help when feeling overwhelmed and directs them to resources for ongoing support and community.

Dr Eric Recker is a dentist, husband, father, keynote speaker, Elite Success Coach, author,
pilot, mountain climber, and recovering triathlete. After severe burnout led to him nearly selling
his dental practice and walking away in 2021, he took a step back to discover his purpose and
figure out what he truly wanted. In his second half of life, he is committed to helping people
shorten the distance to becoming their best version and learning to #WINtheNOW
