About this episode

Burnout. It’s all over the news, it’s all over your social feeds. You’re probably living some version of it, but aren’t sure what it is and how to change it. Let’s take a closer look at the physiology of burnout together. We’ll look at the history of how we talk about burnout, and learn about how it can show up differently in different people. 

Burnout is created in collaboration with Mindful.org.  Mindful is a public benefit organization dedicated to sharing the gifts of mindfulness through content, training, courses, and coaching.  To find a curated collection of mindfulness-based meditations, courses, and resources to help you prevent and work through Burnout in your life and work, head to mindful.org/burnout!
