WIll you want this a year from now?

Feedback is learning not failure.

And knowing you are enough, today, could be the game changer you've been waiting for.

This week in Burnoutology the podcast we take a break from the truth, for some ramblings and learnings from the last week - as always, uncut, unedited, unscripted.

If perfectionism, people pleasing, and hiding from feedback are part of your DNA, this episode is for you.

I'll be back with you again next week.

Hey Burnoutology podsquadders, welcome to another episode of Burnoutology the Podcast, where this week we are talking about 'wellness washed'.

If Burnout was always obvious, we wouldn’t be here.

But one of the most dangerous forms of Burnout I see doesn’t look chaotic, emotional, or messy at all.

It looks calm.

It looks regulated.

It looks like someone who’s done the breathwork, bought the supplements, curated the self-care… and is still quietly shutting down.

Today we’re talking about wellness-washed burnout, and why feeling calmer doesn’t mean you’re actually okay.”

If listening to this episode gets you thinking that, ‘I look fine, but I don’t feel like myself’ - don't add another wellness habit.

Ask a better question. What has my calm cost me?”

Hey hey hey, this week we are back with the 200 Burnout Truths for this week's episode of Burnout, and our truth this week is Burnout Aesthetic.

We've seen it, and maybe even lived it, but this one is where Burnout is bubbling behind the surface, leaving you/or your clients silently falling apart behind the scenes, even if you don't know why - but, to the outside world you look polished and perfectly put together. Because as we know, Burnout doesn't always look like collapse, sometimes, actually most of the time, it looks like high performance and success.

This is what we're exploring and discussing in this week's episode of Burnoutology the Podcast.

Helly Burnoutology podsquad! Welcome to 2026, it's great to be back with you again for not just another episode, but a new month, and a new year!

I've taken another break from the 200 Truths this week to welcome you to the new year, not with any hints or tips, or hacks or frameworks, but with some reflections and questions to help you tune out the noise that often surrounds a new year, and encourage you to start the year YOUR way.

I've let go of a lot again over the last 12 months, more so since my surgery in October, and I am releasing even more, to step out of my usual way of doing, into something new.

It's not going to be easy to shake some of my old habits, but I'm giving it a go.

I hope this episode helps you find your own space to be and do this month.

And if you don't yet know how Burnout Aware you are, take the quiz here to find out.

Who you were before Burnout isn't who you are now, and you have no idea who you'll be, and yet, now you get to choose.

Pre-Burnout, your identity was all about what you did, who you showed up as behind the mask, but now, it's just you, and you get to decide.

Not long after I started my first business, I had a panic attack whilst on my way to deliver a talk. And not because of the talk. But because who would want to hear from 'just Kelly'!

I didn't realise how much of me had been wrapped up in what I did, and I'm talking about all of this, and more, in this week's episode of Burnoutology the Podcast.

Happy listening

Burnout does this thing to our decision making ability that can cause us to spiral out of control.

Each time we learn something new, there's a business opportunity. Read something in a book? New business.

You move from idea to idea, because the ideas feel safe, but the work and the action to make them happen? No thank you. Push too hard and you'll end up at Burnout, again.

So what's the answer?

In this week's episode of Burnoutology the podcast I'm talking about why you need to focus on your own recovery before you even consider trying to coach anyone else through Burnout. And I'm sharing some of the many businesses I started thinking that each one, was THE one that would allow me to help even more people to avoid Burnout.

Enjoy!

What's the saying - whether you think you can, or whether you think you can't, you're right!?

Don't think you can take time out to take care of you?

Don't think what you're doing is working?

Don't think that your work adds any value?

And of course you might be right, but what if you're wrong? And where's your proof?

I had a moment last week, when it all felt like I was a big fat failure, and then I found the proof I was wrong - and there was a lot of proof to look at.

It doesn't always work out like that does it? Sometimes we find the opposite, and then we need to make some changes.

I'm talking about this and more in this episode of Burnoutology the podcast.

This week in Burnoutology the Podcast I'm taking a break from the truth (the 200 Burnout Truths) to share some reflections from my six weeks off, recovering from surgery.

I wasn't sure where this conversation would go, but relationships and the people that matter most are where I ended up.

What's this got to do with Burnout? Take a listen to find out.

I'll be back with you again next week at 7am

Welcome back to Burnoutology the podcast my favourite podsquadders - here we are for Burnout Truth number 19, and this episode is about coach-washed Burnout.

So what does coach-washed Burnout mean? How do you spot it? Why does it matter?

What it really means: When your coach tells you to “choose better thoughts” instead of spotting burnout.

How to spot it: High-ticket encouragement. Zero nervous system awareness.

Why it matters: Your body knows more than their script.

This episode is trusting your gut - which is hard because Burnout causes doubt.

But let's get into it. Ready? Let's go!

And remember to share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Nervous system chic is what I'm talking about in Burnoutology the podcast this week. This is Burnout Truth #18.

And nervous system chic is this...

What it really means: Aestheticising healing instead of embodying it.

How to spot it: Pale beige branding. Calm captions. Still panicking internally.

Why it matters: Healing isn’t aesthetic. It’s messy - and it’s real.

No shade on anyone who has calming captions and muted shades, I know I am the complete and total opposite, but, I did fall into this trap 10 years ago, before I'd fully done the work to get me to where I am today.

So I know what it looks like, and how easy it can be to fall into this.

Let's listen! And do share this with someone else who needs to hear it.
