In this vulnerable and practical episode, I sit down with my colleague Dr. Helen Machen-Pearce to unpack what burnout looks like before it gets dramatic. We talk about the “yellow flags” I’ve been noticing in my own life, how coaches and leaders can miss early signs, and why it’s not just about working less - but working smarter with the nervous system in mind.

We also bring in a third voice - ChatGPT - to help spark insights, name patterns, and reflect back what might be hard to see in the moment. It’s a fresh format: equal parts real talk, personal story, and practical tools for anyone coaching others or managing their own well-being. If you work with people, teach resilience, or just feel “on the edge” a bit too often—this one’s for you.
