The actual moment of surrender isn't cinematic. It's 4am, a work laptop, and an email that says: I can't come in.

In episode 20 of Share. Inspire. Explore. -- Part 2 of my three-part burnout story -- I share what came after the collapse. What asking for help really looked like. What psychiatry, psychotherapy, and rehabilitation actually gave me. And what burnout showed me about myself once I finally stopped running.

This is for anyone who has hit their limit and is trying to understand what recovery actually involves -- beyond the tidy narrative.

⚠️ 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐧𝐨𝐭𝐞: This episode contains honest discussion of burnout, psychiatric care, and a serious physical health event.

Share. Inspire. Explore. is the podcast from Where I'm At -- lived-experience conversations on burnout, career change, and what comes next.

Where I'm At is based on lived experience, reflection, and educational support. It is not therapy, counselling, crisis support, or professional advice. Please consult a qualified professional for individual medical or psychological support where relevant.
