FRAZZLED

Everyone is hacking or hustling something aren't they lately! When was the last time we could just be?

This episode of Burnoutology is all about Nervous System Hustle, the anti-hustle episode, that comes with an ask, for you, to do this one thing for yourself today - take a listen to hear the ask, you'll be pleased that you did.

Burnout Truth #11 - Burnout System Hustle.

What it really means: Treating regulation like another productivity hack.

How to spot it: Box-breathing while emailing. Meditating between calls. Healing like it’s a checklist.

Why it matters: The body doesn’t heal when it’s still performing.

Give this one a listen, and a share with someone else who also needs to hear this today.

I'll be back again same time, next week, see you then.

We've seen it, we've probably even lived it, and perhaps, you're building your coaching business to actually be like this - Glow-Up Collapse, and burnout truth #10 in this latest episode of Burnoutology the Podcast.

What glow-up collapse really means: Behind the scenes of every filtered transformation is a nervous system shutting down.

How to spot it: “Inspiring” before/after posts. Big launches. Back-to-back “up-levels”

… then radio silence.

Why it matters: Burnout loves a glow-up. No one notices until they disappear.

This week on Burnoutology it's all about Boundaried Burnout!

What it really means: Having “perfect” boundaries—and still reaching Burnout.

How to spot it: Calendar blocks, colour coding, time off… still shattered.

Why it matters: If your internal system isn’t safe, no external structure will save you.

I've been here, I have lived this, I thought I had it all together, and then I reached the second burnout, the one that nearly killed me. And it took. me getting to that point to see what I needed to change - you do NOT have to almost die to make the changes, not on my watch!

In this episode of Burnoutology The Podcast I'm talking about Burnout Truth #8 - Gaslight Coaching.

What does Gaslight Coaching mean? When “empowerment” coaching invalidates your lived reality.

How do you spot it? “You’re choosing this.” “What’s the story you’re telling yourself?” “Raise your vibe.”

Why does it matter? It’s not mindset - it’s manipulation. And it drives people deeper into collapse.

Let's explore this and more.

Fawn Hustle is Burnout Truth #7, and that's what I'm talking about in this weeks episode of Burnoutology The Podcast.

Fawn Hustle, what does it really mean? It's people-pleasing as a survival strategy dressed up as professionalism.

How do you spot it? Over-apologising. Over-delivering. “Happy to help!” when they’re running on fumes.

Why does it matter? This is trauma, not teamwork.

How many people do you know who wear people-pleasing as a badge of honour? Maybe you've done it yourself.

Let's unpick it in this weeks episode.

Let's talk about high-functioning hell, I've been it, I've lived, it is still my norm. And yet not all high-functioning is hell, and not all high-functioning is normal.

Burnout Truth #6, this week, in Burnoutology the podcast talks all about high-functioning hell.

What it really means: Looking capable while emotionally, physically, and spiritually crashing.

How to spot it: Still delivering. Still smiling. Dying inside.

Why it matters: It’s the most dangerous place to reach Burnout - because no one sees it coming. This can be the most severe and biggest crash when it comes to Burnout.

Take a listen.

I will be back with you again same time, same place next week, for Burnout Truth #7 The Fawn Hustle!

Yes, it's time for another episode of Burnoutology the Podcast, and today is all about Burnout Truth #5, Trauma Chic.

You'll have seen it on your instagram feed, and maybe even been sucked in to buying an online course as result of it.

What it really means: Turning your trauma into a branded identity—and calling it empowerment.

How to spot it: “From breakdown to boss.” Monetising pain. Constant oversharing with no recovery.

Why it matters: It glamorises collapse and teaches others to do the same.

Join me again next week for Burnout Truth #6, High Functioning Hell. I mean if this doesn't sound like the cheeriest podcast episode in the world and definitely not one you want to miss right!?

Welcome back to Burnoutology The Podcast and the next of our Burnout Truths. This week it's Burnout Truth #4, Smile Suffocation.

Smile-Suffocation, what does it really mean? The performance of positivity while quietly drowning.

How to spot it: Always fine. Always polite. Always available. Until the system collapses.

Why it matters: This is how clients vanish before your eyes—while still showing up.

I'll be back with you again for Burnout Truth #5, Trauma-Chic, next Tuesday at 7am, see you then, Kelly

Burnout Truth #3 Growth-Tox is what I'm talking about in this episode of Burnoutology The Podcast.

So, Growth-Tox what it really means:

When personal development becomes self-destruction in disguise.

How to spot it:

Burnout sold as breakthroughs. Healing that leaves you in A&E. Transformation used to bypass trauma.

Why it matters:

Coaches call it “evolution” Your body calls it emergency mode.

I'm talking about this from the perspective of the coach who doesn't understand Burnout, the individual who is desperately seeking answers to 'cure' Burnout, and the person who has experienced Burnout and now wants to fix it for others.

You know that some days you're smashing it, winning at life and thinking you've got it all together, and then other days your knickers are on inside out and back to front and wondering how you ever made it this far?

That's what I'm talking to you about today, as well as my recent TV interview, and the 'success' from the last 10 months that can be easy to forget when you're having a rock bottom day.
