ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Is the world rigged for burnout or are we just not trying hard enough?
In this episode, we unpack why we're collectively exhausted and how our connected world has created the perfect conditions for burnout to thrive - in ways our brains simply weren't designed to handle.
We explore:
* How constant exposure to others' interpretations (not just facts) is draining our capacity
* The vulnerability of living in uncertain times and what that does to our nervous systems
* Sam's powerful story of trauma and burnout in hospital emergency settings
* Why measuring your worth through productivity makes burnout an identity crisis
* The crucial difference between "cosmetic" changes and "structural" problems at work
* Why adding self-care tasks can feel like poison when you're exhausted (but it's actually medicine)
* How to support someone with burnout
* Why we need to treat burnout like a physical injury
