FRAZZLED

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.

The Empowerment Trap is the Burnout truth for this week in this episode of Burnoutology the Podcast.

So let's get straight into this one shall we!?!

What it really means: Convincing yourself it’s your job to fix what broke you.

How to spot it: “Maybe I manifested this.” “What am I doing wrong?”

Why it matters: You’re not broken. But the system is.

You've seen this right? Maybe all over your social feeds, or even in your coaching sessions.

It's the Empowerment Trap, it's Burnout Truth number 17, and this, is Burnoutology the podcast.

Who do you know who needs to hear this one? Share it with them.

You've seen this, you've definitely heard, and maybe you're even guilty of it yourself.

This week's episode of Burnoutology the podcast explores Burnout truth #15, positivity poisoning.

What positivity poisoning means: The weaponisation of optimism to deny reality.

How to spot it: “Just be grateful!” “Look on the bright side.” “Choose joy!”

Why it matters: It silences suffering - and rewards performance over presence.

We know that Burnout thrives in silence and masking and secrecy, and, if you're surrounded by positivity poisoning it can do even more harm.

So let's dig into this one shall we!

And who do you know that might like this episode? Give it a share and some love to keep the truth spreading.

I bloody love a vision board, but if you think they're the answer for a client on the brink of, or coming through Burnout, I can tell you now, you're doing damage.

In this episode of Burnoutology the podcast, this is what I'm talking about.

So what is the vision board vortex?

Here's what it really means: Getting stuck dreaming your way out of Burnout.

How to spot it: “I just need to realign…” “I’m working on my frequency…” Still chronically exhausted.

Why it matters: Because you can’t manifest your way out of survival mode!

Let's get into this episode of Burnoutology the podcast.

And do give this episode a like and share, because burnout ends with awareness.

This is Burnout Truth number 12 for Burnoutology the podcast - Recovery Performance.

What Recovery Performance really means: Faking your healing journey for the feed.

How to spot it: Well-lit journaling shots. “Self-care Sunday” reels. Still numb underneath it all.

Why it matters: Recovery isn’t content. It’s not public. And it’s never perfect.

You'll have seen this in your feed, and if you're a coach who has experienced Burnout then maybe you've been here and done this.
