In episode 2 of season 3, we cover the long awaited topic of burnout. This is potentially Annie’s favourite thing to talk about, as she considers herself often close to a burnout episode (and this is not a point of pride).

This episode covers:

• The 3 dimensions of burnout
• The “double shift” that women do at work, and at home
• Annie’s personal experience of burnout
• How burnout changes your brain, and how your brain recovers
• The importance of social connections in the recovery from burnout
• How to prevent burnout
• When burnout means you should leave your job

Also learn about Annie’s hen-do, Bec’s view on sound baths and whether she will step into a renovation project or not.
