The Leader You’re Becoming

How to Beat Burnout at Work - Starting with You


Listen Later

In this episode of The Leader You’re Becoming, we break down what it really takes to recover from burnout — and why the first step has nothing to do with your workload, your meetings, or your company.
We start with you: your body, your nervous system, your baseline capacity… long before we ever talk about work.

You’ll learn:

  • Why burnout recovery begins with your physical and emotional foundation
  • How the HALT framework (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) reveals your true state of depletion
  • The impact of sleep, nourishment, movement, and regulation on your leadership
  • What your nervous system is trying to tell you when you feel overwhelmed or checked out
  • How to use the Chair Principle to assess whether your work environment is contributing to burnout:
    — Are you paid enough?
    — Is your work meaningful?
    — Do you have a supportive manager?
    — Do you like the people you work with?

Burnout isn’t a personal failure — it’s a signal that your internal capacity and your external environment are out of alignment.

This episode will help you rebuild your foundation, understand what’s fueling your burnout, and take the first grounded steps toward feeling like yourself again.
