Ep 0: Meet your hosts - an intro to Before We Burn (Out)

"How do I keep going when the world feels like it's on fire?"

In this introductory episode, meet your hosts Sol and Nita as they share why they created Before We Burn (Out) and what you can expect from this podcast.

Sol, a mental fitness coach, and Nita, a sustainability strategist with 20 years in corporate systems, open up about the moment they realized that doing good shouldn't mean running yourself into the ground. They discuss the emotional toll of working for change when progress feels slow, actions seem performative, or your entire value system feels under threat.

This isn't another self-help podcast promising easy fixes. Instead, it's an honest space for mid-career professionals, changemakers, and anyone holding it together on the outside while wrestling with overwhelm on the inside. You'll hear about what's coming in future episodes: personal stories from boardrooms and activist spaces, mental fitness practices, cultural critique, and practical tools for living and leading with more integrity.

If you're someone who cares deeply about the world but feels exhausted by it, this conversation will help you understand why you're not alone—and why there's another way forward that doesn't end in burnout.
