With over seven years of research and clinical experience, Dr. Farrell shares science-backed tools and personal insights into preventing and recovering from burnout. The Pathway to Burnout Dr. Farrell recounts her personal journey through burnout, not once but twice—during both her master’s and doctoral programs. These experiences fueled her passion to study and treat burnout at a clinical and research level. Burnout, she explains, is a chronic stress condition that sneaks up subtly and can deeply affect both personal and professional well-being. Warning Signs of Burnout According to Dr. Farrell, the earliest signs of burnout include: Irritability – Short fuse and increased impatience.Exhaustion – Physical and emotional depletion, often minimized.Cognitive Fog – Persistent forgetfulness and loss of focus. Understanding these signs early is critical for timely intervention. Stress vs. Burnout Burnout differs from typical stress by duration and intensity. Acute stress may last a month, while chronic stress builds over three months. Burnout begins when emotional exhaustion leads to cynicism, reduced accomplishment, and significant personality shifts. Risk Factors in Work Environments Dr. Farrell highlights key work-related causes: High workloadLow control over outcomesLack of recognition (monetary and emotional)Toxic cultureValue misalignment between employee and employer Prevention Strategies Burnout prevention is built on strong personal boundaries and physical well-being. Key practices include: Prioritizing sleep and exerciseDaily 30-minute non-negotiable personal timeClear work-life boundariesSaying “no” when necessary Burnout Recovery For those already facing burnout, Dr. Farrell suggests: Committed action: 20 minutes daily of aerobic or anaerobic exerciseAcknowledging limits and pacing oneselfTaking a “bird’s eye view” to identify what can and can’t be controlledDelegating tasks and setting realistic goals Living the Balance Dr. Farrell shares her own boundaries: no emails or work past 7pm or on weekends.

    Worthy to Be Me: Bhavya Gaur’s Journey from Trauma to Transformation GUEST: Bhavya Gaur — Certified Mastery Coach, Breathwork Facilitator, Author, and Speaker HOST: Dr. Allen Lycka Duration: [Start 5:04 – End 31:18] Introduction In this inspiring episode, Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes Bhavya Gaur—a certified life mastery coach, breathwork facilitator, and author of Worthy to Be Me. Bhavya shares her deeply personal journey from childhood abuse and cultural constraints in India to empowering others through transformational coaching and healing practices. The Early Years: A Rebel with a Cause Bhavya opens about growing up in a traditional Brahmin family in India, where gender inequality was normalized. Always a rebel, she pushed back against societal expectations—opting for a love marriage over arranged, choosing divorce when faced with abuse, and eventually emigrating to Canada as a single mother. Overcoming Abuse and Rewriting the Narrative Having experienced sexual, verbal, emotional, and physical abuse, Bhavya recounts her painful yet empowering decision to leave her marriage and fight for custody of her daughters. These hardships became the foundation for her memoir and healing work. Sharing her story publicly has helped countless others feel less alone. Common Mindset Blocks and Cultural Conditioning Bhavya highlights the subconscious beliefs—shame, guilt, and sacrifice—that often hold people back. Rooted in upbringing and cultural patterns, these beliefs create an internal rulebook that limits self-worth. Her work involves gently challenging these stories and helping clients rewrite their inner narrative. The Power of Self-Awareness and Reflection Self-awareness is Bhavya’s cornerstone practice. She emphasizes the importance of responding instead of reacting, using moments of discomfort as portals to deeper understanding. Whether through traditional or active meditation like dance, the key is to listen to one’s body and internal cues. From Setbacks to Opportunities To Bhavya, setbacks are not failures but invitations to expand. Her process includes depersonalizing pain, zooming out for perspective, and identifying inner resources. The goal is to transform breakdowns into breakthroughs without judgment or self-blame. Embracing Vulnerability and the Art of Kintsugi Bhavya compares personal healing to Kintsugi—the Japanese art of repairing broken pottery with gold. By embracing our scars, we become more valuable and unique. Vulnerability, she explains, dissolves when we truly know and accept ourselves. Living a Fantastic Life Bhavya lives a fantastic life by embracing every chapter of her story. From leaving India, starting anew in Canada, to building a life of purpose, she’s learned to flow with life. Her advice: become your own best friend, listen to your inner guidance, and honor your strengths over comparisons. Connect with Bhavya Gaur Get a copy of Worthy to Be Me on Amazon.

    Strategic Financial Leadership with Alex Ibrahim, CFO of Yanolja

    Introduction

    In this episode of The Dr. Lycka Show, Dr. Allen Lycka welcomes Alex Ibrahim, a powerhouse in global finance and current CFO at Yanolja, a travel-tech leader with a global AI-driven platform. Broadcasting from New York, Alex brings over 20 years of capital markets experience, including a celebrated tenure at the New York Stock Exchange. Tune in as we explore Alex's career, insights on IPO strategy, team leadership, AI in finance, and building a 10x company.

    From Fashion to Finance: The Journey Begins

    Alex shares his path from the Fashion Institute of Technology to the Zicklin School of Business, then into finance. Recruited by the NYSE, he spearheaded Latin American relations and eventually led international capital markets, managing IPOs for major firms like Didi, Nubank, and On Running.

    A Strategic Leap to Corporate Leadership

    Leaving the NYSE after 22 years, Alex joined Yanolja to bring companies through the IPO journey from the inside. He now uses his deep understanding of global markets to guide strategic growth and capital initiatives for the Korean-founded tech company.

    Evolving Leadership Styles

    Transitioning from market oversight to internal leadership, Alex discusses how his access to top bankers and executives shaped his approach. His focus now is on strategic positioning, building investor confidence, and driving Yanolja’s expansion.

    Guiding Through Economic Uncertainty

    Alex emphasizes the importance of market timing in capital decisions. During downturns, IPOs and M&As pause—but savvy companies wait and strike when conditions stabilize, positioning themselves for growth.

    Building a High-Performance Finance Team

    Alex seeks team players with technical financial skills and cross-functional collaboration abilities. He values professionals who integrate with broader departments and align financial goals with company strategy.

    Global Communication & Team Culture

    Managing international teams from New York to Korea, Alex stresses the importance of structured communication, clear expectations, and a team-oriented mindset to ensure cross-border cohesion and execution.

    Staying Ahead of the Curve

    Alex stays sharp by consuming news from WSJ, FT, Bloomberg, and by engaging with industry leaders. He’s a lifelong learner, constantly evolving with market and technology trends.

    Strategic KPIs & Resistance to Change

    Key metrics at Yanolja include TTV, revenue, and EBITDA growth. When rolling out initiatives, Alex ensures transparency and shows how changes ultimately benefit all departments.

    The CFO Role in the AI Era

    The CFO role today goes far beyond spreadsheets. Alex describes himself as a “market-facing CFO,” frequently engaging with media, investors, and analysts—balancing finance with strategic storytelling.

    Investing for Impact

    Though he refrains from specific Yanolja details, Alex explains capital should go toward areas with clear ROI. Evaluating investment timing, scalability, and company-wide benefit is key.

    Yanolja: From Startup to Global Powerhouse

    Yanolja means "Hey, let's have fun!" in Korean. From modest roots streamlining hotel operations, it’s grown into a global leader with 1.3 million hotels and 20,000+ channels in 200+ countries. Today, it serves consumers and businesses with travel tech and AI-powered solutions.

    BIO:

    Alexandre Ibrahim is the Corporate CFO at Yanolja, based in New York. In this role, he leverages his expertise in capital markets to strengthen the company’s financial management and drive strategic initiatives, supporting its continued global expansion and growth. Ibrahim brings over 20 years of experience from his distinguished career at the New York Stock Exchange, where he played a pivotal role in facilitating Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) and capital raising for numerous global enterprises across Asia, North America, and South America.
