Burnout isn’t always solved by taking time off — especially if nothing really changes when you come back.

In this episode, Denzil shares a powerful question from psychotherapist and clinic owner Roxanne Francis: “What’s going to change this time when you go back?” It’s a simple prompt that opens the door to rethinking how we work, recover, and protect our energy before burnout hits.

Denzil speaks openly in this episode, reflecting on her own work life and sharing practical ways to make it more sustainable, with ideas like:

• Treating rest as part of the job, not a reward
• Bringing small vacation joys into everyday routines
• Making the first day back softer and slower
• Experimenting with fresh approaches to meetings, tools, and personal goals

For anyone juggling a full plate, whether it’s in healthcare, running a clinic, or navigating life in general, this episode offers thoughtful, down-to-earth ideas for making the everyday a little lighter.
