Clock In with Emily Durham

Am I Burnt Out… or Is My Job the Problem?


Listen Later

You’re not lazy. You’re not “bad at your job.”

But you might be asking the wrong question.

In this episode, we’re breaking down the difference between burnout and a toxic work environment — because they feel the same, but the solution is completely different.

If you’ve been feeling anxious before work, second-guessing your abilities, or wondering why a job that “looks good on paper” is draining you… this is your reality check.

We’ll get into:

  • The key signs you’re actually burnt out (and how to fix it)
  • The red flags your workplace is the real problem
  • Why high performers are the most likely to misdiagnose this
  • How to rebuild your confidence when work starts messing with your head
  • What to do next (stay, set boundaries, or leave)
  • This episode will help you figure out what’s really going on — so you can stop spiraling and start making the right move for your career.

    And if you want the step-by-step playbook for navigating this (and everything else your job won’t teach you), you can pre-order my book here: https://emilydurham.org/clock-in
