Reframing Burnout with Emilie Aries
This is our last newsletter of the year. Thanks for being here with us for all our conversations, Instagram stories, and live events of 2023. We have loved the journey of building the Reframeables community. If you have found our conversations supportive in your own reframing practice this year and feel compelled to support our work, please consider buying our cookbook over on Ko-fi or joining as a regular supporter over on Patreon, where you get access to bonus episodes! Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube too. You can also upgrade your subscription here on Substack. Honestly there are so many ways to join the Reframeables community - it’s the community support that enables us to keep going. Glad you’re here!
Is reframing burnout even possible? According to Emilie Aries, the founder of Bossed Up, it is — sort of. Emilie is a speaker and author whose company is committed to closing the gender leadership gap. In this episode, you’ll hear our conversation about the systemic nature of burnout culture, particularly for women. We unpack “role overload,” try and take a really realistic look at boundary setting, and learn the difference between active and passive rest. These and other important ideas will sustain us through the holidays and beyond!
Emilie Aries is an award-winning speaker, podcaster, writer, and the founder of Bossed Up, a personal and professional training organization that helps women craft sustainable careers. She is the current host of the podcast Bossed Up, and former co-host of Stuff Mom Never Told You. Previously, Emilie served on national political campaigns as an organizer and digital strategist.

These gochujang-marinated tofu-filled collard wraps were a hit at a holiday party this season:
Marinate your tofu for 24 hours in a mixture of gochujang paste (two tbsp), a tsp of honey, a tbsp of soy sauce, a tsp of granulated garlic, two diced green onions and two tbsp of olive oil.
Slice and bake your tofu at 400 for 20 min, turning halfway.
Thinly slice rainbow radishes or daikon (or some other crunchy veg) and set aside for assembly.
De-stem your collard leaves and then zap for 10 seconds in the micro (or quickly blanch in boiling water + ice bath) so that they are a bright green and are super flexible.
Coat each leaf with hummus, then add a slice of the tofu and a thin slice of crispy veg. Then roll!
Sending so much love and light your way dear reframeables! May this season bring warmth (in the form of fluffy trees or otherwise!) in the midst of what can feel to be a very cold hearted world. We are working towards community together through this podcast and hope you feel supported in your reframing work with us.
