Are you always putting others first at work? You might be heading for burnout — and not even realise it.

In this powerful episode, Toby Mildon speaks with Pam Burrows, known as The People Booster, about her unique CARE model for wellbeing. Pam shares her own burnout experience and how leaders who constantly serve others without taking care of themselves can harm not only their health, but their teams too.

We explore practical ways for HR and ED&I professionals to avoid burnout, manage energy, and shift mindset — starting with ditching guilt and embracing balance.

Key takeaways:

• Why wellbeing is a leadership responsibility.
• How guilt signals poor boundaries — and what to do about it.
• The CARE model: Compassion, Acknowledgement, Reality, Energy.
• The link between self-care and truly inclusive workplace cultures.
• Simple, actionable wellbeing strategies that stick.

Guest highlights:
Pam Burrows has over 30 years’ experience helping organisations boost wellbeing and reduce stress. She’s the creator of the CARE model and author of Burnout Buster.
