My Descent Into Burnout


Listen Later

This is part one of a three-part personal story.


Burnout doesn't start at work. For me, it started in Northern Ireland during the Troubles. Growing up where the world could shift without warning, I learned, quietly, without anyone teaching me, to stay braced, stay useful, and stay small. I carried that wiring into every room I walked into for the next 30 years.


In this episode, I trace the patterns that drove me: the fear underneath the ambition, the coping that quietly became a problem, and the moment I couldn't hold it together anymore.


Share. Inspire. Explore. is the podcast from Where I'm At β€” honest conversations on burnout, career change, and what comes next.
