How to Prevent Burnout


Listen Later

Women are burned out, stressed out, and still trudging along.

When the pandemic hit in 2020, the hope was that the struggles would be temporary. But three years on, many women are still living in survival mode.

We can't get ahead as long as we're living this way. But our workplaces, our partners, and our society hasn't gotten the memo. And the truth is, many working mothers don't fully understand how burnout creeps in – let alone what to do to prevent it.

We need more than self-care and a hot bath in order to prevent burnout. In this episode, we look at the science of burnout, and how those who are socialized as women are particularly at risk for burnout. And what we can do to turn it around.

What You'll Learn:

  • Why burnout looks different for working mothers

  • How dealing with micro-aggressions and bias impact our nervous system responses

  • Why a burnout prevention plan is a necessity for professional endurance

  • Burnout prevention strategies that work, without lots of time
