How I Work

I burnt out completely last year. This is how I recovered.


Listen Later

In our modern workplaces, is suffering from burn out now simply a matter of when, rather than if?

For a slightly different episode, I’m joined by Sabina Read to discuss my own personal experience with burn out and how you can manage it if it hits you.

Sabina is a distinguished Australian psychologist who makes regular appearances on Radio 3AW's Afternoons program, works as SEEK's Resident Psychologist and co-hosts the top-rated podcast Human Cogs.

This is a dive into the world of burnout so you can understand why it happens, what influences it and how you can survive it.

Sabina and I share:

  • The signs of incoming burnout that many of us miss
  • The external factors that can cause you to burn out
  • Sabina’s tips on what you can do to avoid burnout
  • The very specific thing that helped me recover from burnout

Key Quotes:

“This is not something you wrap in a bow and neatly take forward so you never burn out.”

“We do need to differentiate burn out from exhaustion.”
