The Burnout Recovery Podcast

🎉 Celebrating 150 Podcast Episodes! Saying No to Extra Shifts


Listen Later

🎉 Milestone Alert! We've reached episode 150 of The Burnout Recovery Podcast! Join Dr Jo Braid and a special guest (her 9-year-old son Lachy) as they celebrate this incredible milestone together.

In this heartfelt episode, Dr Jo shares her personal journey from being the "yes doctor" who worked two jobs simultaneously - full-time as a rehabilitation medicine registrar plus evening GP house calls - to learning the life-changing power of saying no.

What You'll Learn:

  • The physical and emotional toll of overcommitting to extra work
  • The CARE Framework for boundary-setting without guilt
  • How to address the "but my colleagues need me" mindset
  • Why saying yes to everything means saying no to excellence in anything
  • How boundaries evolve as your life circumstances change

Key Takeaway:
Saying no isn't about limiting yourself - it's about choosing where to invest your finite energy so you can show up as your best self.

Reflection Question: What's one shift or request you wish you'd said no to this month? What would saying no have allowed you to say yes to instead?

I acknowledge that I create this podcast on the traditional lands of the Wiradjuri people, who have been the custodians of this land around Orange, New South Wales, for thousands of generations. I pay my respects to Wiradjuri Elders past, present, and emerging, and recognize the continuing connection to land, waters, and culture. This acknowledgment is a small but important step in recognizing the sovereignty of First Nations peoples and the deep historical and ongoing relationship with Country.
